Hello, Wattpad family!
          
          I have finished my first round of overhaul edits on Hidden & Held. 
          
          My biggest change was adding a brand new Jackson chapter early in the book. I also broke up some chapters and added more of their earlier relationship so you can get a better glimpse of who they were as a couple before the betrayal.
          
          Each chapter had edits in there, clarifying details and motivations clearer.
          
          Thank you for your patience, and I look forward to your thoughts! I will continue back on my Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule.

@SmurfetteB hopefully your mouth guard won’t be needed as much

Thank you! The edits are going well, or at least I feel like it is … you all will be the judge of that!
            
            Please get that mouth guard, I’m worried about your teeth

Author Pit Stop: 
          
          Hidden & Held just came back from developmental edits, and the editor gave me some fantastic ideas that I think will make the first half of the story much stronger.
          
          So... I'm temporarily taking the story down while I make those revisions. Think of it as a renovation, not a cancellation! 
          
          I'm aiming to be back in about two weeks, and I genuinely think the wait will be worth it. In full transparency, this story is also going to Kindle Unlimited in October. If you would prefer the full, polished-up version, you can wait until then, or sign up for a free copy for an ARC review (Signups are coming in September).
          
          Thank you for coming along on this journey with me. I appreciate every read, vote, theory, and passionate discussion. 
          
          If you want another FREE story that I am working on, please subscribe to my newsletter. Wild Again, a later-in-life, grumpy x sunshine story starts posting tomorrow.
