Heart’s Desire by Julie Reece

After a terrible accident, Tessa returns to her family beach house to heal. She doesn’t expect to see her first summer crush from seven years before. Cameron, though, reappears and ignites a relationship that’s far more intense than ever before. The only problem? Summer is once again coming to an end, and this time, Tessa will have to decide whether to choose life with Cameron or to never see him again.

The Sweetest Song by Claire Gillian

Under Poseidon’s rule, Circe is the most destructive siren in the Pacific ocean, her songs luring ships and their crew to their watery graves. Not Otis, the best halibut fisherman in the Alaskan waters. His ship, the Calypso, has avoided disaster each time Circe set her sights on him.

Given one last chance to deliver Otis to Davy Jones’ locker, Circe takes to land to waylay the handsome captain. Instead, it may be Otis himself who hooks the Siren.

Pearl of Pau’maa by Kelly Said

Should Miki choose to wed the local wealthy boy she doesn’t love, her stomach will stop grumbling. Her soul, however, will suffocate. With one last opportunity before she must concede, she sneaks off for a final dive to her hidden crate at the bottom of the seabed. What waits for her is more than a captured lobster. It’s a treasure she cannot claim without great sacrifice or true love.

The Undergarden by Jocelyn Adams

Nixie, a water sprite, lives a solitary existence as she struggles to understand the strange world beyond her waters. When she meets one of the pink ones, a curious boy named Wyatt, their friendship blooms into a love that can exist only upon the sands that divide his solid ground from her underwater paradise. Some love, though, once born, cannot be undone, even in the face of death.

Hello and welcome back, fellow #SixSunday-ers, hehe!

Today’s six sentences continue from last week’s excerpt from my story in TIDAL WHISPERS, where we left Harmon the merman at the bottom of the ocean, in the Ladali Trench, where the “thugs and crooks” of the sea like to hang out — scoundrels, like his brother, Creeb.

PEARL OF PAU’MAA con’t

Harmon clawed through the water, savoring the heat of anger pumping through his body.

Once I have the curve of my mother’s heirloom pearl in my palm, he thought, my brother’s wrongs will be brought to order. He pinged the dark waters, outlining the trench walls. He was getting closer.

#

Miki hugged herself, trying to press down the fear bumps prickling her bare arms. Her toes gripped warm sand, clinging to the beach, worried it would be the last time she’d ever be free to stand there.

Ooo! Harmon sounds pretty tee’d off, having to fix his good for nothing brother’s mistakes. And Miki! Why the heck is she worried about standing on the beach? Sorry, friends, this is all I can share, but if you’d like, you can click HERE to add TIDAL WHISPERS to your to-read shelf, the e-anthology releases JUNE 04, 2012.

Thank you for stopping by to check out my six! You can scroll past my announcement below to leave a comment if you’d like, hehe! I’ll be surfing around to read and comment on others, so click HERE for more #sixsunday participants
