The Opportunist

Dear Reader,

As we approach the rerelease of The Opportunist, I find myself thinking about the strange, beautiful way certain stories refuse to let go. Some books are written in a season; others follow you through years, growing and reshaping themselves as you do. The Opportunist is one of those rare, stubborn stories—full of flawed people, sharp edges, and emotional risks—that continues to resonate long after the last page is turned.

Whether you were here in the early days, clutching your paperback and whisper-screaming about Olivia, Caleb, and Leah in TOL… or whether you’re discovering this messy, intoxicating world for the very first time, I want to welcome you back—back to the complications and the heartbreak of these characters.

This rerelease is more than a new cover or a fresh printing. It’s a chance to revisit a story that helped define a generation of readers who weren’t afraid to root for imperfect characters—characters who lie, manipulate, hope, ache, and love in all the wrong ways for all the right reasons.

Thank you for being part of this book’s journey. Thank you for the messages, the rereads, the debates, the loyalty, and the willingness to embrace a story that isn’t always comfortable but is undeniably honest. This book has lived many lives, and it’s ready for another—with you.

With gratitude,
Tarryn
