Destiny hides in the tempest’s heart
A
fated encounter. A familiar stranger. A storm of passion. Can Ondine release
her fear, surrender to Marut’s power, and claim her own?
Marine biologist Ondine Ambrose has always felt at
home in the sea. Orphaned at birth and raised by her grandmother on the island
of Martha’s Vineyard, she has never really questioned her extraordinary
affinity for the watery world.
When she encounters an attractive but arrogant
engineer on her private beach, surveying the site for a prospective off-shore
wind farm, anger is her first reaction. A casual touch, however, transforms
that emotion to incomprehensible, irresistible, terrifying lust.
Ebony-skinned Marut has his own talents—aside from
his uncanny ability to swamp Ondine with desire. He can control the winds and
summon storms. When he insists that they are both more than human, and that she
is his destined mate, Ondine responds with skepticism. She tries to resist the
charismatic Haitian, but ultimately she cannot deny the evidence of her
senses—and her heart.

Read the midweek teaser from new release, Rough Weather
“Wind is far
less destructive than fossil fuels. You know that.”
The stranger cupped his tea mug in his big
hands. Marut, he called himself. His handsome face wore an earnest expression,
while his body was wrapped in her old terrycloth robe, the one she planned to
donate to Goodwill. Meanwhile, Ondine herself wore a loose T-shirt and
sweatpants that effectively hid her curves. No sense tempting fate.
She hadn’t intended to bring him here, but
his clothing was soaked and, like her, he had bloody abrasions on his hands and
knees from their fierce encounter on the rocks. So she’d led him over the
dunes—careful not to touch him—to the weathered clapboard house she’d inherited
from her grandmother. After giving him antiseptic and Band Aids, she’d left him
alone in the downstairs bathroom to clean himself up and tend to his wounds.
She certainly didn’t intend to play nurse to him, that was certain. She had no
idea what had possessed her out on the beach, but she didn’t want to experience
it again.
Not that it hadn’t felt wondrous. Indeed,
every time she looked at him, she recalled the overwhelming hunger that had
seized her. The memory of their frantic encounter unnerved her. The pleasure
had been incredible. The loss of control, though, had been terrifying.
Ondine was no virgin, but she’d always been
careful about sex. She was normally the one who chose the time and place. And
after her mother’s tragic experience, she was unfailingly vigilant about
contraception, all the more so because her body would tolerate neither the pill
nor an IUD. As she showered off the grit, sweat and semen, she felt grateful
that her interactions with Marut had not involved penetration. She didn’t
normally carry condoms on a walk to the beach.
He was a stranger, possibly even an enemy.
There was something unnatural about the intimacy they’d shared, so sudden and
so potent. She would need to remain on her guard.
Rousing herself from her musings, she
sipped her own tea and nibbled at one of her ginger snaps. “Of course. Oil,
gas, coal—they’re bad news. But why not build your wind farm on dry land? You’d
have a much smaller ecological impact.”
“Nobody wants a
ninety meter steel tower in their backyard.”
“So you put it
where there’s no one to object!”
“In many cases
the winds are stronger and more reliable offshore too.”
“And that
justifies the cost to wildlife?”
“Global
warming’s a bigger threat to ocean life than any wind farm.” Marut’s abruptness
suggested annoyance.
Smug satisfaction warmed her, though she
recognized that reaction as childish. As a scientist, she was well aware that
the tradeoffs and issues were complex. There was no simple answer to the
problems facing humanity. Somehow, though, she couldn’t stop herself from
baiting him.
“That’s a
research question, I think.”
“Look.” He
flashed a conciliatory smile that lit up his strong, even features. “Let’s call
a truce. My company is in the preliminary stages of design, just studying
feasibility and cost-effectiveness for different locations. The installation
might turn out to be totally impractical.”
“I certainly
hope so.”
