Writing "A Ring for My Heart" has been an incredible journey, one that wouldn’t have been possible without the love and support of so many amazing people.
To my readers: Thank you for believing in the magic of love and for joining Emily and Ethan on their journey. Your support means the world to me, and I hope this story brings as much joy to your hearts as it did to mine while writing it.
To my family and friends: Your unwavering encouragement has been my anchor. Thank you for understanding when I disappeared into my writing world and for always cheering me on.
To my editor and publishing team: Your guidance and expertise have helped shape this story into something truly special. Thank you for your patience, your insights, and your passion for storytelling.
To Winterhaven (and all the small towns that inspire us): Thank you for reminding me of the beauty in traditions, the joy of community, and the warmth of the holidays.
Lastly, to anyone who’s ever dared to dream of love, of magic, of something greater than themselves: This story is for you. Never stop believing in the power of a kiss, the hope of a new year, and the promise of what’s yet to come.
With gratitude and love,
Ruby Gitonga
