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 with Purple Sword Publications. I don’t have an exact date yet.
Set-up: This snippet takes place right after last week’s snippet. Caelan has just come out of the water, and Neadra is still stunned.

She had an insane desire to trace the strong lines of his face, run her fingers over his jaw, and feel his lips against hers. “Wow.”
The man smiled. “You already said that.” The smile lit his face into a softer version, twinkling his eyes and causing gentle creases to appear at the sides of his mouth and across his forehead, as if he indulged in grinning often. “It’s not often I get such a reaction from the ladies, especially not one as pretty as you–I’m Caelan Burke.”
***
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.

I’m loving the intensity you’ve captured in the first paragraph, and the name Caelan Burke. This is a magnificently fluid bit of writing.
This sounds wonderful! I like their meeting, and the entire story is intriguing. Nice six!
What GREAT description there. Loved it!
Loved how you described his smile:)
Strong descriptions took me right to this scene, love it.
Great descriptive little scene.
Love the way you detailed his features, showing the laugh lines that make him so attractive and appealing.
I like the part about “you already said that”. It does happen when we are surprised in situations like these.
You can feel their attraction. Sounds like a great story.

I think he’s being modest, surely he does get that kind of reaction since he’s so dreamy as you’ve written him LOL. Terrific six!
Oh, he sounds delicious!!
They’ve got great chemistry. Caelan is quite the charmer.
Great six! Love the description
I’m with Veronica — he HAS to get that reaction often.
Great six!
I love the description of his smile, coupled with his “modesty” it makes him pretty swoon worthy. I bet he does get that reaction from women a lot.
Great premise.
I love the blurb and the six! He sounds adorable.
Intense. Fab six!
Very nice. And the description is perfect. Fab six, Sandra!
