Dear Reader,

Thanks for buying this book! It means a lot to me. 

Let me tell you a bit about this novel. This is the sixteenth novel that I wrote to completion. It was also the first time I tried to get a book published with a traditional publishing company. I started sending out inquiries and I landed a publisher on the third try. I felt like a star. 

Obviously, I did not continue to feel like a star. This book was not a success and for many years, I couldn’t look at it. What had gone wrong? Was it me? Was it my publisher? Had vampires gone out of fashion or was a book that wasn’t a romance novel simply doomed?

I still don’t know exactly what went wrong. It’s not important.

Ten years after writing it, I picked it up, brushed it off, and started posting it on a freebie website. I found myself looking at the chapters and reading little bits. I was surprised to see that I thought it was good. Whether it could enjoy commercial success was no longer a concern.

I like it, which led to the updated version you just finished reading.

I hope you enjoyed it too. 

If you did, please give it a five-star rating. A review is nicer, but if you’d rather not write anything, a five-star rating is very helpful. 

All the love in the world,

Stephanie Van Orman
