"fascinating romantic fantasy"
Virginia Beach human empathic Riley Dawson tries to use
her gift to help improve the lives of people; her need to
help is why she became a social worker. However, even
Riley is unprepared when she meets the High Prince of
Atlantis Conlan. The Warrior of Poseidon is on a mission
to recover the missing trident before a war ignites. He has no time or inclination for the female human though
he admits to himself she is attractive. Instead he
believes his destiny starts with recovering the trident to
save his people from the vampire horde already
overwhelming them when they took control of the city.
However getting rid of Riley proves more difficult than
his quest as she knows he is her soulmate and that she is
destined to help him and the Warriors of Poseidon fight
the powerful bloodsuckers. The first Warriors of Poseidon book is a fascinating
romantic fantasy that uses vampires and shapeshifters to
create a unique vision of Atlantis in which sub-genre fans
will want to follow their exploits way down beneath the
ocean. The story line is action-packed starting with
Conlon's return to the capital after a seven plus year
exile and never slows down until the final confrontation.
The attraction between the lead couple is magnetic, but
the hero must choose between forbidden love and duty.

SummaryEleven thousand years ago, before the seas swallowed the
Atlantaens, Poseidon assigned a few chosen warriors to act
as sentinels for humans in the new world. There was only one
rule—desiring them was forbidden. But rules were made
to be broken...
When she calls...
Riley Dawson is more than a dedicated Virginia Beach social
worker. She's blessed with a mind link that only Atlantaens
have been able to access for thousands of years. Being an
"empath" may explain her wistful connection to the roiling
waves of the ocean, the sanctuary it provides, and the
sexual urges that seem to emanate from fathoms below...
He will come.
Conlan, the High Prince of Atlantis, has surfaced on a
mission to retrieve Poseidon's stolen Trident. Yet something
else has possessed Conlan: the intimate emotions—and
desires—of a human. Irresistibly drawn to the uncanny
beauty, Conlan soon shares more than his mind. But in the
midst of a battle to reclaim Poseidon's power, how long can
a forbidden love last between two different souls from two
different worlds?
