Also…

You didn't think I would just leave you guys hanging like that did you? There is a sequel!

I'm sorry for those of you who may have been confused by some changes that happened to the story. So for clarification:

1. Christian now knows all of Ana's "secrets" but Ana doesn't know about his previous BDSM lifestyle.

2. Ana's only family is Ray.

3. No, the family does not know about Ana. Kate doesn't know either.

4. Wanda is still in Ana's life. (Although I haven't specifically wrote about her.)

If anything is still confusing anyone feel free to review or PM me so I can hopefully help you out.

Part Two is titled "Hometown Glory" and the first chapter has been posted. I have a very busy schedule right now but I hope to update at least once a week even if it's just a few thousand words. I am looking for a beta for this story (and my others) so any volunteers would be greatly appreciated. I'm not sure how beta's work but I'm willing to try!

Much love!
