My sweet, perfect Daniel.

“What are you thinking about?” he asks, gently kissing my earlobe as his hand strokes my stomach. “Dirty thoughts?”

“Do you think this will ever get old?” I ask, turning in his arms. He furrows his brow in exaggerated consideration, and I smack him. “Hey! Asshole!”

“Sorry, I just had to,” he laughs and the sound is music to my ears. He takes my hand in his and presses it against his lips. “I don’t think it will. I’ve wanted you for almost my entire life. I can’t imagine that it’ll ever stop now that I have you.”

“You’ll always have me,” I promise, leaning forward to kiss him tenderly. “Forever and ever…”

“…and ever and ever…”

“…and ever.”

Daniel and I. Forever and ever. Cradle to grave.

The way it was always meant to be.

Afterword

Wow,Ihonestlycan’tbelieve I did it. The day has finally come. It’s over.

I think the reason I’m having such trouble wrapping my head around this is that it’sreal. It’s not a story I wrote just for me, it’s not a thought that’s been floating around in my head, it’s arealbook.

Wow.

I want to give an incredible thanks to literally anyone who is reading this. Thank you for taking a chance on me and I hope I didn’t disappoint. I would also like to thank the amazing ladies at Indie Author Creative—Kari Monty and Angela O’Connell—for all their incredible support. This could not have been possible without them. Absolutely not. I owe them so much that I will never be able to express it. I want to thank my family and my friends who had to hear my panic-induced ramblings about how terrible I am and how much this book sucked. Your patience and support mean the world.

And, please, keep yourself updated for the next book—Avery and Sebastian—whose story should be just as heartwarming.

I appreciate you all so incredibly.

Writing is messy, it’s exhausting, it’s frustrating (knowing the things you want to say but never really knowing how to say them), and it can be painful.

But, above else, it’s beautiful.

Acknowledgments

Forthoseofyoureading this, I want to give you my sincerest thanks. I can’t believe that you took a chance on an unknown author and decided to pick this up. I only hope that I gave you even an ounce of joy I experienced while writing this. I hope that your chance was for something and that you were transported into the world of Armory Prep with Magnus and Daniel. Once again, thank you so much. All of this is for you. It’s for those of you that want an escape from life. It’s from those of you that quite possibly love books more than anything. It’s for those of you that want to write but don’t think you can. Trust me, if I can do it, so can you.

I want to give yet another thanks to Kari Monty and Angela O’Connell at Indie Author Creative. The writing process can be so stressful, but these ladies helped me through every second of it and for that, I’ll be eternally grateful.

Here are thanks to my boyfriend who believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself. The one person who always knew this would happen and was just waiting for me to get off my ass and do something with all the stories in my head. I love you and you had a role to play in bringing Magnus and Daniel to life.
