Sweet Hope (Sweet Home #4) (37 page)
Sweet Hope was difficult to write knowing that it was the final book in the Sweet Home Series. This series launched my career as an author, and I will be forever grateful to the characters that lived in my head, urging me to put their stories to the page, and also, the magnitude of people that have helped me along the way…
Mam and Dad, we’re now chugging full steam ahead! Thank you for setting me on course, and for riding shotgun beside me! Love you both!
To my husband. You encourage me, push me to always make every novel my best, and love me for the person I am, flaws and all. I love you to the moon and back. You’re my Rome, Austin and Axel all rolled into one childhood sweetheart package… we just need to keep building up your tattoos!!! Full Carillo coverage is the goal! ;)
Sam, Marc, Taylor, Isaac, Archie and Elias. Love you all. And, Isaac, I’ll keep working on the theme park at Universal Studios!
To my fabulous beta readers: Thessa, Kelly, Kia, Rachel and Lynn. Your comments and advice were invaluable. You always have my back and are not afraid to tell me straight. I love you guys for that. The best team a gal could ask for.
Onward!!!!
Thessa, my sweet sweet friend. Thank you for manning my Facebook page and keeping me in check. Thank you for the endless meme’s and promotional teasers/pimping you do. And a HUGE thank you for encouraging me to write this novel. Your love for Axel convinced me that I was on the right lines and that he desperately deserved this story. Love you, missus! Don’t know what I’d do without you!
Kelly, and

Neda from Sub Club Books, my Carillo boys enthusiast. Love you girl! Hope you got your Carillo fill!

To all the fabulous authors I have befriended over the last year and the support you give. I love you guys! And thank you especially to the wonderful gals who sprinted alongside me so I could make this deadline. There was a copious amount Red Bull, Coffee, Chocolate and breakdowns along the way, but it was worth it. Not sure my digestive system agrees, but who cares about that! ;)

My IG girls!!!! You give me nothing but support and smiles, and everyday have me racing to my app to see what you’re all up to! You’re my meme queens!!!!
And lastly, my wonderful readers. Your support, your enthusiasm and your love means the world to me. Thank you for all the messages of support you send me, the amazing reviews you leave for my novels, the beautiful meme’s and teasers you make in honour of my work, and the tattoos you get of my words. You leave me utterly speechless. Gosh darn it! You’re all so bloody brilliant that I could burst!
And even though The Sweet Home Series has come to an end
*wipes tear*
… I CAN’T WAIT to share with you what’s coming up next!
Ti amo… sempre…

Tillie Cole hails from a small town in the North-East of England. She grew up on a farm with her English mother, Scottish father and older sister and a multitude of rescue animals. As soon as she could, Tillie left her rural roots for the bright lights of the big city.
After graduating from Newcastle University, Tillie followed her Professional Rugby player husband around the world for a decade, becoming a teacher in between and thoroughly enjoyed teaching High School students Social Studies for seven years.
Tillie has now settled in Calgary, Canada, where she is finally able to sit down, write (without the threat of her husband being transferred), throwing herself into fantasy worlds and the fabulous minds of her characters.
Tillie writes Romantic comedy, Contemporary Romance, Dark Romance, Young Adult and New Adult novels and happily shares her love of alpha-male leading men (mostly with muscles and tattoos) and strong female characters with her readers.
When she is not writing, Tillie enjoys nothing more than strutting her sparkly stuff on a dance floor (preferably to Lady Gaga), watching films (preferably anything with Tom Hardy or Will Ferrell—for very different reasons!), listening to music or spending time with friends and family.
