A note from award-winning writer Virginia Kantra, author of six Silhouette books:

Dear Reader,

Once upon a time…

The first story I wrote—I was nine, I think—began that way. The first stories I loved, about brave warriors and proud princesses and unexpected danger, all did, too. So when I got the call from Silhouette to write my very own fairy tale, in Intimate Moments’ FIRSTBORN SONS continuity series, I jumped at the chance.

Being invited to participate in a series that features some of my favorite authors was another big plus. It’s been a joy coordinating stories and bad guys with them.

This story was meaningful to me in other ways, too. Fathers and sons fascinate me. I have two wonderful sons of my own, themes and variations of their father. And my husband, like the hero of this book, is a firstborn son whose father served in Vietnam.

Of course, my warrior is the modern sort—a U.S. Navy SEAL. And my princess is a microbiologist—or, as she would be quick to correct you, a microbial ecologist—at Montana University. But the themes of love and honor and courage and characters who aren’t quite what they appear to be are timeless.

I hope you enjoy this story of a princess who learns her own worth and a battered warrior who discovers the magic power of love.

Love,
