Please welcome my guest blogger today, Rose Wulf with WET.
Hello!
Thank you so much for having me today!
I’m
super thrilled to share with you my latest release, Wet (Elemental 1)! Wet is
the first in a five-book paranormal romance series. My Elemental series is a
re-release after some noteworthy revisions and scene additions – so even if you
read the previous version of Elemental 1, this one will have some new surprises
for you! Without further ado, I present, Wet!
Blurb:
Blake Hawke, first born of the four Hawke brothers, has the
ability to control water.
Keeping the family secret is a big
deal. A deal Blake all but throws out the window when he finds Brooke sitting
alone on the beach. Before he knows it he’s showing her everything he can do –
until he gets the call that his baby sister is trapped between an impossible
fire and a cliff.
Brooke has barely come to terms with
the fact that she’s got the hots for a real-life Aquaman when news breaks that
they have serious enemies. Now she’s got a guy to win, a secret to keep, and
weather-controlling enemies to look out for. The last thing she needs is to add
some creepy stalker to the list.
Can Blake protect his family and the
woman he’s falling in love with from an enemy he never knew he had?
Excerpt:
It was all she
could do to keep from jogging to the shore when she spotted him, sitting on the
edge of the tide with his feet in the water.
As she drew nearer,
she slowed, taking in the sight of him with his elbows resting on raised knees
and his chin cradled between his linked thumbs and index fingers. It was a
thoughtful, reflective position. Sobering. She almost felt bad for some of the
thoughts that had been swimming around in her head a moment ago. Almost.
“Hey.” Brooke
settled next to him on the sand. She kept her feet curled up and out to the
side at her knees so as to keep her shoes from getting wet.
Blake turned his
attention to her, his posture relaxing as a smile lifted his lips. “Hey, thanks
for meeting me.”
She returned his
smile. “So what did you want to talk about? Did something else happen?”
“No. I just thought
maybe we should talk one-on-one, you know, after you’d had a chance to sleep on
everything.” He paused and studied her, looking for something. Whether or not
he found it, Brooke had no idea. “How are you handling all that?”
Releasing a breath,
Brooke said, “Me? I’m handling it okay. I mean, for me it’s more surreal and
startling to learn about the existence of people with powers like yours. I’m
not being targeted, remember? So it’s only scary in the abstract.”
Blake arched a brow
at her choice of words. “Abstract, huh? And how’s that?”
Brooke allowed her
smile to feel a little flirtatious as she leaned forward and brushed her
fingertips along his cheekbone. “I don’t want anything to happen to you is
all,” she whispered.
Blake swallowed and
the tide rolled in a little higher, just barely brushing her knees. Then he’d
threaded his fingers into her hair and crushed his lips to hers, his other arm
winding around her waist to hold her in place.
It was all she
could do to swallow the moan in her throat as she kissed him back. His hair was
soft over her fingers when her hands slipped behind his head, and his tongue
was hot in her mouth when her lips parted. She’d nearly forgotten how good he
tasted.
She could’ve sworn she
purred as his tongue stroked hers, desire burning low and hot in her belly. It
was such a contrast to the cold water that continued to tease her knees.
Blake’s fingers dipped beneath her lightweight sweater, his soft touch teasing
her skin and finally pulling free the moan she’d been fighting. He sucked on
her tongue, putting more weight into his touch, until his thumb found the right
spot to have her arching into him.
He released her
lips as her breasts pressed firmly into his chest, trailing his kiss down the
side of her throat. She held onto him, moaning again as he shifted to cradle
her body more properly against his.
“Blake,” she
breathed as his tongue danced around the hollow at the base of her throat.
He rumbled and
lowered his head, tongue and lips sliding to her collar bone and down to the
line of her scoop-neck sweater. And oh, how she wanted him to keep going. To
tear off her clothes and kiss the rest of her aching body with the same tender
hunger he was bestowing to her collar and neck. How she wanted to feel his
heady touch in private places. Brooke doubted she’d ever been so immediately
hungry for a man.
Blake made a sort
of groaning sound and removed his lips from her skin. “God, you’re
distracting.”
“That’s a bad thing?”
He grinned. “Not
really. I just feel like there’s more that should be said first.”
“And you can’t talk
while you’re kissing me.” Her words were resigned, because she knew he was
right. She just didn’t want him to be.
“Exactly.”
Looping her arms
loosely around his shoulders and making no move to otherwise adjust herself,
Brooke said, “So talk. What’s on your mind?”
The question was
ridiculous, of course. She knew what
was on his mind in more ways than one. She just suspected she hadn’t properly
absorbed it all yet. There was still some sort of surreal distance between her
sense of reality and the ideas the Hawke family had discussed the day before. People who can throw lightning. Really?
But then again, the man she was currently embracing could become water—she’d seen it herself. So was the rest really so far
out there?
Blake released a
breath and pulled her in enough to rest his head on her shoulders. “Everything,
I guess,” he admitted. “I really want my uncle to be crazy, but … that’s not
his style. He’s a realist, even if his ‘realism’ sounds impossible.”
“And you’re
worried,” Brooke guessed gently, her fingers weaving through his hair and
massaging his scalp in an attempt to comfort him.
“Yeah.”
“Blake, that’s
natural,” she said. “They’re your family, and you just found out you might have
enemies who can generate your kryptonite at will. That’s heavy.” As she said
it, she realized she was exactly right. She could only imagine how terrifying
that would be for him and his brothers. To go from knowing they had more power than the people around them—knowing they were stronger—to learning
they had invisible enemies designed specifically to hurt them. Although that might be over-simplifying…
Blake straightened
after a moment, taking his time dragging his gaze up to hers. “I know. And I
swear I really did want to make sure you were okay, all things considered.” He
paused and brushed his lips lightly over hers again. “But it’s possible I was
also hoping for a distraction.”
Swallowing a
schoolgirl giggle, Brooke raised exaggeratedly dramatic eyebrows at him.
“Weren’t you just complaining about that?”
“I was confused,”
Blake insisted, sliding the hand still beneath her sweater a little higher. “I
understand now.”
“Understand what?”
she challenged, fighting her natural response to his touch.
Blake met her
challenge with a confident grin and caught her mouth in another hot, demanding
kiss.
