Hello!
Thank you so much for having me today!
I’m
super thrilled to share with you my latest release, Wet (Elemental 1)! Wet is
the first in a five-book paranormal romance series. My Elemental series is a
re-release after some noteworthy revisions and scene additions – so even if you
read the previous version of Elemental 1, this one will have some new surprises
for you! Without further ado, I present, Wet!
Blake Hawke, first born of the four Hawke brothers, has the
ability to control water.
Keeping the family secret is a big
deal. A deal Blake all but throws out the window when he finds Brooke sitting
alone on the beach. Before he knows it he’s showing her everything he can do –
until he gets the call that his baby sister is trapped between an impossible
fire and a cliff.
Brooke has barely come to terms with
the fact that she’s got the hots for a real-life Aquaman when news breaks that
they have serious enemies. Now she’s got a guy to win, a secret to keep, and
weather-controlling enemies to look out for. The last thing she needs is to add
some creepy stalker to the list.
Can Blake protect his family and the
woman he’s falling in love with from an enemy he never knew he had?
Excerpt:
It was all she could do to keep from jogging to the shore when she
spotted him, sitting on the edge of the tide with his feet in the water.
As she drew nearer, she slowed, taking in the sight of him with his
elbows resting on raised knees and his chin cradled between his linked thumbs
and index fingers. It was a thoughtful, reflective position. Sobering. She
almost felt bad for some of the thoughts that had been swimming around in her
head a moment ago. Almost.
“Hey.” Brooke settled next to him on the sand. She kept her feet
curled up and out to the side at her knees so as to keep her shoes from getting
wet.
Blake turned his attention to her, his posture relaxing as a smile
lifted his lips. “Hey, thanks for meeting me.”
She returned his smile. “So what did you want to talk about? Did
something else happen?”
“No. I just thought maybe we should talk one-on-one, you know, after
you’d had a chance to sleep on everything.” He paused and studied her, looking
for something. Whether or not he found it, Brooke had no idea. “How are you
handling all that?”
Releasing a breath, Brooke said, “Me? I’m handling it okay. I mean,
for me it’s more surreal and startling to learn about the existence of people
with powers like yours. I’m not being targeted, remember? So it’s only scary in
the abstract.”
Blake arched a brow at her choice of words. “Abstract, huh? And how’s
that?”
Brooke allowed her smile to feel a little flirtatious as she leaned
forward and brushed her fingertips along his cheekbone. “I don’t want anything
to happen to you is all,” she whispered.
Blake swallowed and the tide rolled in a little higher, just barely
brushing her knees. Then he’d threaded his fingers into her hair and crushed
his lips to hers, his other arm winding around her waist to hold her in place.
It was all she could do to swallow the moan in her throat as she
kissed him back. His hair was soft over her fingers when her hands slipped
behind his head, and his tongue was hot in her mouth when her lips parted.
She’d nearly forgotten how good he tasted.
She could’ve sworn she purred as his tongue stroked hers, desire
burning low and hot in her belly. It was such a contrast to the cold water that
continued to tease her knees. Blake’s fingers dipped beneath her lightweight
sweater, his soft touch teasing her skin and finally pulling free the moan
she’d been fighting. He sucked on her tongue, putting more weight into his
touch, until his thumb found the right spot to have her arching into him.
He released her lips as her breasts pressed firmly into his chest,
trailing his kiss down the side of her throat. She held onto him, moaning again
as he shifted to cradle her body more properly against his.
“Blake,” she breathed as his tongue danced around the hollow at the
base of her throat.
He rumbled and lowered his head, tongue and lips sliding to her collar
bone and down to the line of her scoop-neck sweater. And oh, how she wanted him
to keep going. To tear off her clothes and kiss the rest of her aching body
with the same tender hunger he was bestowing to her collar and neck. How she
wanted to feel his heady touch in private places. Brooke doubted she’d ever
been so immediately hungry for a man.
Blake made a sort of groaning sound and removed his lips from her
skin. “God, you’re distracting.”
“That’s a bad thing?”
He grinned. “Not really. I just feel like there’s more that should be
said first.”
“And you can’t talk while you’re kissing me.” Her words were resigned,
because she knew he was right. She just didn’t want him to be.
“Exactly.”
Looping her arms loosely around his shoulders and making no move to
otherwise adjust herself, Brooke said, “So talk. What’s on your mind?”
The question was ridiculous, of course. She knew what was on his mind in more ways than one. She just suspected
she hadn’t properly absorbed it all yet. There was still some sort of surreal
distance between her sense of reality and the ideas the Hawke family had
discussed the day before. People who can
throw lightning. Really? But then again, the man she was currently
embracing could become water—she’d
seen it herself. So was the rest really so far out there?
Blake released a breath and pulled her in enough to rest his head on
her shoulders. “Everything, I guess,” he admitted. “I really want my uncle to
be crazy, but … that’s not his style. He’s a realist, even if his ‘realism’
sounds impossible.”
“And you’re worried,” Brooke guessed gently, her fingers weaving
through his hair and massaging his scalp in an attempt to comfort him.
“Yeah.”
“Blake, that’s natural,” she said. “They’re your family, and you just
found out you might have enemies who can generate your kryptonite at will.
That’s heavy.” As she said it, she realized she was exactly right. She could
only imagine how terrifying that would be for him and his brothers. To go from knowing they had more power than the
people around them—knowing they were
stronger—to learning they had invisible enemies designed specifically to hurt
them. Although that might be
over-simplifying…
Blake straightened after a moment, taking his time dragging his gaze
up to hers. “I know. And I swear I really did want to make sure you were okay,
all things considered.” He paused and brushed his lips lightly over hers again.
“But it’s possible I was also hoping for a distraction.”
Swallowing a schoolgirl giggle, Brooke raised exaggeratedly dramatic
eyebrows at him. “Weren’t you just complaining about that?”
“I was confused,” Blake insisted, sliding the hand still beneath her
sweater a little higher. “I understand now.”
“Understand what?” she challenged, fighting her natural response to
his touch.
Blake met her challenge with a confident grin and caught her mouth in
another hot, demanding kiss.
