Today, I’m sharing a snippet from ADRIFT. This is an erotic paranormal and the first book kicking off a new series for me called Destiny. It will release sometime this month. I don’t have an exact date yet.
Set-up: The heroine Neadra has come to the shores of Lake Monroe to try and conquer her fear of water, but just as she decides to finally go in, she’s startled by a pair of glowing blue eyes in the water.

(Forgive any typos or other errors. This book is just now in edits)
With the smooth movements of someone accustomed to spending time in and around water, the placid surface shimmered. The top of a male head appeared, bobbed for an instant. He never broke eye contact with her as he swam forward. The closer he got, the more of his body was revealed until he stood, dripping, on the shore near her, and completely nude.
For a few seconds, Neadra forgot how to breathe as she stared at the naked form of the most beautiful man she’d ever seen. She gasped and realized beautiful wasn’t an appropriate way to describe this particular male.

Here’s the blurb:
Do you feel as if you’ve existed without direction? Have circumstances left you scattered and without purpose? Do your unique gifts suffer from your dissatisfaction from daily living? Come to Destiny, Indiana. It just may change your life.
When an Undine (water sprite) who’s afraid of water meets a water dragon who’s been shunned by his clan for his inability to shift and terrorize, sparks fly despite the wetness around them.
As heavy spring rain floods the small town of Destiny, putting Neadra’s life in danger, Caelan fights his way to her, pulling out the hero he never thought he could be, while she faces her fears to locate him. Only through acceptance of each other will they find the life they’ve always wanted.

water sprites…. how cool! And naked men dripping with water. Sounds like a winner and a must-read.
This sound too cool not to read! If a sexy, naked man came out of the water, I’d stop breathing too. Great six!
Love the cover. Sounds so good. Nude man on the shore. That got my attention. Great six.

Wonderful description. Love this six!
Eye contact, love it, plus he’s naked
What a start, thanks, Sandra.
What a great way to introduce a character. Great six!
Sounds like an interesting story, Sandra! I agree, eye contact from a hot naked man=SEXY
LOVE it! Sexy six sentences.
And the premise for the series is fantastic!!! (I’m assuming that each story features a character that is ‘something’ they don’t know? Or?)
This sounds interesting- water sprite and dragons. Great visual with your six!
Interesting but you need to rework the first sentence. The way it’s written, the surface of the water is used to spending time around water, and I think you man to apply that to the whatever it is that looks like a naked man. Looks interesting, none the less.
A water sprite who is afraid of water? Sounds like a big problem, but it looks like the solution might be at hand. Thanks for sharing
Lovely. : )
Oh wow, I LOVE the story’s premise and this wonderful scene sure promises some excellent reading! Terrific six!
A nude built guy emerging from the water, sounds perfect to me.
Ok, where’s the rest. Stop teasing me like that. LOL Can we go back to the naked guy now?
