      Mystery surrounded him….

      And that constantly teased Valerie’s imagination. More than anything, she wished she could have met him under different circumstances.

      “Is it difficult for you to accept things that don’t lend themselves to explanation?”

      She nodded. “It’s a combination of private skepticism and police training. I’m more comfortable with hard facts.”

      “Then rely on this—you can trust me. No matter what goes down, I’ll be right there with you. You’ll never have a better partner.”

      “Or a more dangerous one,” she muttered.

      Somehow, he managed to hear her. “Dangerous to others perhaps, but never to you.”

      Even as he spoke, he could feel her responding to him. What was drawing them together was nature at its most basic…and more. No woman had ever gotten under his skin like this, making him ache and wish for things he had no business wanting.

      Dear Reader,

      Writing is remarkable work. It fulfills an author’s spirit in a way very few things can. That’s not to say that everything during the course of a book flows smoothly.

      While working on Navajo Courage, I spent lots of time hiding out in my office. Somewhere along the way, I’d forgotten that ideas come from life itself.

      Once I realized my mistake, I immediately shut my office door and went to join my husband and our animals. By the end of that day, inspiration had dawned and the story came together.

      I learned then that the barriers we put around ourselves all too often lock us in and keep us from getting what we most need. Using that newfound knowledge, my hero, Luca Nakai, and the heroine, Valerie Jonas, quickly blossomed to life.

      People tend to think of writers as loners, shut away somewhere. But the truth is that’s not the way it works. People need people. It’s that simple—and that complicated.

      Here at Harlequin, for example, I’m part of something much bigger than just my book. Since 1989, Harlequin Intrigue has been home for my work—and for me. It’s a place filled with the support an author needs to create stories from the heart. Everyone bands together to bring you the best stories possible. In the process, a real sense of family unfolds.

      I’m proud to call myself a Harlequin Intrigue author. Happy 25th anniversary, Harlequin Intrigue, and thank you very much for allowing me to be a part of your history.

      All the best,

      Aimée Thurlo
