A Note from the Author:
Dear Readers,
 
Some of you may remember this story as Sapphires Worth. Written in 2004, a few brief excerpts were posted on my website and they were never forgottenIve been receiving emails about Sapphire and Wulf ever since!
 
In the Flesh was my second completed novel and although I have written many more since then, this Arabian Nights tale of seduction, power, and ultimate surrender holds a special place in my heart. Wulfric remains one of my favorite heroes. I hope hell become one of yours as well!
 
With love,
Sylvia
