Paranormal Romantic Suspense
Since
her father died, Kate Sweeting’s home life has been in the pits, her well-being
on life support. Her future looks desolate until she and her mother, Cara, make
another plan: abandon their shriveled existence for more promising prospects on
the coast, where Cara can play small-town librarian-bachelorette and Kate can
figure out what’s up with that secretive Blake family from the beach.
Everyone
is eerily captivated with Kate and her mother, and Cara is the first to figure
out why when the man of her dreams arrives all dripping and devoted and
closed-mouthed about what he intends. Kate is willing to go along with their
subterfuge for a while, but eventually makes a charge for the water to learn
what her mother is hiding. Gabe Blake is there waiting for her…and so is
someone considerably less friendly. By the time Kate navigates her way home,
everything will have changed for her—what she feels, what she wants, and what
she’ll risk to be with the man she loves.

The
pleasure cruiser floated on billowing waves a mile off the Atlantic shore, its
small group of passengers reclined in various stages of stupor on the modest
deck. The sun, white-hot and high in the
June sky, pummeled the seafarers with its heat, penetrating and dulling the
attention of even the most preoccupied until all were calm, quiet, and drunk on
their own leisure.
\
To
her disappointment, Kate was the only child in the party, but she was used to
solitude and entertained herself as she often did with a game of imaginary
play. For this interlude, she lay on her stomach, her chin resting on crossed
arms as she peered over the boat’s edge into the sapphire water. Her lips moved
as she whispered, hoping to conjure a sea turtle or dolphin to play with,
although nothing swam her way.
She
became hopeful when a long, silvery blue fish appeared. It paused just past the
depth where she could determine what, exactly, it was, and it swayed to catch
her attention.
It’s teasing
me.
At
which point, it vanished. Kate strained closer to the ocean.
Too
soon a brilliant, turquoise-colored fluke startled her from just below the
water’s surface, the body attached to it out of sight under the boat. The tail
rippled out and back again, gossamer and fantastic.
Come,
it beckoned. Kate reached down to touch it and slid noiselessly into the water.
Her
mother told her later she heard her laughing then, and how panicked she was
when she realized Kate had fallen overboard. Kate herself was unconcerned,
already racing off with her new friend, a boy
named Gabe, caring only for his invitation to play and the adventure he
promised if she could escape from her mom. The passengers on the boat appeared
impossibly far off, although she heard their shouts to let go of the dolphin,
which confused her, since she was holding on to a boy. Her life vest floated,
detached, useless, and well out of her reach. She yelled to everyone she would
be all right,
that she was swimming to shore.
“But
she can’t swim!” her mother cried. Kate disappeared as the boating party
scrambled to follow and to call for help.

The
sirens of Griffins Bay are in trouble, and the recent slew of royal suicides
looks to be the least of their worries.
For
one, unless a blood relative of the queen shows up, no one's around to staff
the monarchy. Well, except for a whack-job bureaucrat and he seriously won't
do. Worse is the community unrest threatening siren society, a problem caused
by too many humans in the pool, which means Simon and his off-limit girlfriend
will have to run and hide if they want to make more of their flirtation...
The
solution doesn't inspire confidence at first, but the Blakes have everything at
hand to set their world to rights - namely, a hidden queen, a dead prince, and
a facility for human manipulation. Once they find their sea legs, they'll
restore order, distribute smart phones, and drive that conniving bureaucrat to
a grisly, satisfying end.
