Dear Reader,

I hope you will enjoy reading this story as much as I enjoyed writing it. For a long time, I’ve had a soft spot for Escape (The Piña Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes—it’s one of my guilty pleasures.

At first, I wrote this story purely for my own entertainment, but as it came together, I realized I couldn’t just keep it to myself. That’s one of the joys of being an indie author—I get to explore different genres and follow wherever inspiration takes me. Since my mind is always brimming with ideas, I often find myself working on multiple stories at once. That’s probably why this is already my third release in just six weeks!

New releases—especially from indie authors—always need a little extra support. If you enjoyed this story (or any of my previous books), I would truly appreciate it if you left an honest review on the platform where you purchased or downloaded it, or on Goodreads. Your review not only helps other readers decide whether to pick up my book but also makes a huge difference in helping my work reach a wider audience.

Thank you for reading, and I hope to share more stories with you soon!

Best,

Zoey Michaels
