Our new releases this week
Four hundred years ago, Nik was tricked by his lover and left stranded as a powerless, but immortal, human. Now he craves only one thing: to reclaim the book that was once his tail and become a water Elemental again. Unfortunately, he can only locate the book when someone touches the pages. This time he won't be left high and dry.
Isla is left a beautiful leather-bound book in her great-aunt's will, perfect for using during her life drawing classes. However, she can't bring herself to mark the translucent pages until a compelling crimson-haired stranger strips for art.
Nik is torn. Years of enforced humanity have given him a conscience. Despite his best efforts at remaining a heartless water Elemental, he is failing. He is falling for Isla, who has no idea she holds the power of the oceans, and his heart, in her hands.

ReplyDeleteIn a little twist of coincidence, I know the cover designer for Shona's story and she sent me a link to another of Shona's stories (which I've lost, sorry) that shows she used the very same headshot of the guy on my cover for Drawing Closer. So how's that for weird coincidence? :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats, everyone, on the good news. And interesting links as always - thanks, Eleri
