  “Is he in trouble?” Cat asked, scribbling in her small notebook.

  “No,” Gia said, looking down at the smiling, laughing pig face in her hands. “But I may be.”

  OFFSIDES releasing in September 2019.

  ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

  A special thank you to everyone who gave this story a chance, even though there were a lot of folks that didn’t want to read it, knowing Luka’s fate ahead of time. Thin Love has always held such a special place in my heart, but I’ve always hated that Luka never got to live the life his brother did. This was a small way to glimpse what may have been if things would have been different. I hope you enjoyed his last great love.

  I have to say a particular thank you to Heather Weston-Confer who is always willing to give me an honest, extremely helpful critique of my work. Her work on this story in particular was invaluable and I am so grateful. Thank you so much, sweetie! I don’t know what I’d do without you.

  Thank you to my ride-or-die Chelle Bliss for her constant love, support and encouragement and for always kicking my butt when I need it. Thanks to Renita McKinney, to all my wonderful betas and the ARC team for all the honest feedback.

  Massive gratitude to my Sweet Team and to everyone in the Saints & Sinners reader group for always supporting me even when I go dark for months on end. Thank you, as always to the promotions crew and bloggers with Give Me Books and Bare Naked Words. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to Lori Jackson for such stellar and lightning fast graphics and cover design. I am awed by your talent. You are truly an artist.

  As always, thank you to my lovely corporate hell sistas, Barbara Blakes, Marie Anderson-Simmons, Kalpana Singh, Sarah Cooper, Sherry Jackson and to my beautiful, understanding family Chelsey, Trinity, Faith, Grace, the moon baby Jax and my love Chris without whom, none of this would make any sense at all.

  Prepare for 2020. It’s going to be insane. Seriously, you might get very sick of seeing me in your feed. God bless!

  ABOUT THE AUTHOR

  Eden Butler is an editor and writer of Romance, SciFi and Fantasy novels and the nine-time great-granddaughter of an honest-to-God English pirate. This could explain her affinity for rule breaking and rum.

  When she’s not writing or wondering about her possibly Jack Sparrowesque ancestor, Eden patiently waits for her Hogwarts letter, writes, reads and spends too much time watching rugby, “Doctor Who” and New Orleans Saints football. Currently, she is imprisoned under teenage rule alongside her husband in Southeastern Louisiana.
