  Dear Reader,
  
  I’m thrilled to present _The Darkest Pleasure,_ the third installment of my
  brand-new paranormal trilogy, Lords of the Underworld, which began with _The
  Darkest Night_ and continued with _The Darkest Kiss._ In a remote fortress in
  Budapest, six immortal warriors—each more dangerously seductive than the
  last—are bound by an ancient curse none has been able to break. When a
  powerful enemy returns, they will travel the world in search of a sacred relic
  of the gods—one that threatens to destroy them all.
  
  Join me on a journey through this darkly sensual world, where the line between
  good and evil blurs and true love is put to the ultimate test. And stay tuned
  for further adventures from the Lords of the Underworld as the stakes get
  higher, the quest more dangerous and the romance hotter!
  
  Wishing you all the best,
  
  Gena Showalter
