I'm not far enough into the next young book to do a teaser yet, so let's take a look back at an older book of mine. :) This teaser is from Beneath the Surface.
DUSK HAD long since
passed. Darkness blanketed the land, and, with it, protection from prying eyes.
The full moon shone brightly on the rippling waves. Nisha’s head broke the
surface and he bobbed in the water, his long hair floating around his
shoulders.
A lengthy tail
battered the surface in annoyance. Nisha watched the human called Kannon
walking along the beach. Sometimes he’d just stop and stare restlessly out over
the reflective surface of the ocean, his hands in his back pockets, the water
splashing so close to him.
Then he’d started
off again. His human seemed sad. And distracted. When the lights of the resort
came fully into view, Kannon turned back. Obviously his human wasn’t in the
mood for company. Good.
Nisha’s webbed
fingers played with the necklace that held several shark teeth around his neck.
He dove under the water, his tail slapping the surface. Time and distance had
allowed him to see that maybe what he’d done that day to Kannon could’ve been a
little scary.
But he’d seen the
human in the water, and his scent—that scent called to him. He couldn’t resist
that call any more than the tide could resist the moon. If he’d been more
rational, he would’ve known his actions would scare the human, but he wasn’t.
Rational, that is.
Of all the things he
was expecting that day, finding his mate was not one of them. He certainly
wasn’t expecting his mate to be human. That, in and of itself, rocked his
world. While he didn’t regret finding Kannon, he did wish he’d thought things
out better.
The last thing he meant to do was scare Kannon. Not to mention his actions made mating with the human much, much harder. Things would go easier if Kannon came into the water, but if necessary, he’d go onto land to claim what was his.
