AUTHOR’S FOREWARD
Dear readers,
Wanderlust explores captivity and dubious consent. It is intended as a fantasy for those who enjoy these themes in their fiction.
This book is dedicated to those who have been found—but who never forget how it feels to be lost. Many thanks to the beta readers and editors who helped me, including Leila DeSint, K.M., Antoinette M—, Em Petrova, and Helen Hardt.
Yours,
Skye Warren
