      Dear Reader,

      I gave you a peek at Valerian, King of the Nymphs, in Jewel of Atlantis…but I didn’t intend to tell his story. Well, I did—just not right away. There were several more books that I planned to write first. Bad little boy that he is, Valerian insisted I concentrate on him. (Picture me shaking my head and muttering, “Typical Nymph behaviour.”) I tried to say no. Really, I did. But…I couldn’t resist him. Neither can Shaye Holling, though she gives it her best shot. She’s the woman Valerian is determined to claim. Like me, Shaye finds herself up against the greatest lover of all time. A mesmerising and seductive force unlike any other. A rogue. A fantasy come to life.

      Anyone else shivering?

      I hope you enjoy reading their story as much as I enjoyed writing it. For more information about Atlantis and all the creatures and humans who reside there, visit my website at www.genashowalter.com and my blog at www.genashowalter.blogspot.com.

      Warmest regards,
