Hi everyone! I have something fun for you today!  I'm getting ready to wrap up edits on Forsaken, the final Academy of the Fallen novel, which means that I'll be working on Fated (Mermaid's Curse 2) very soon!   So here is the contest... and the background story on this picture! Last month,  LipSmackin GoodBooks reviewed Insatiable - A Mermaid's Curse and dreamcast him as Blake.  The funny thing is that just a few days before, I added Blake getting a tattoo to the Fated outline, which made me love this picture even more.

“I thought you said you had no one to go back to,” he said. I gave him a confused look. He pointed at my ring.   “Or is that who you are running from?” I didn’t know what to say.   I reached for the ring and took it off, putting it on the table.   “It doesn’t mean what you think it does.” “Okay.   Sorry.   Even if it did, that‘s not my business.” He turned toward the fireplace, and deciding that the food didn’t taste that bad, I ate another bite.   When he turned around, something about the way he looked at me took my breath away. “Look, I don’t know how to say this without sounding rude, but everything considered, I don’t think you should be left alone tonight.   You can take that couch.   I’ll take this one.   Is that okay with you?” Amazon US - Amazon UK - Nook - iBooks - RSP Launch Pad

Arianna always felt like she didn’t belong in the world where she was born.   Ever since she was little, she used to hide behind the rocks in the sea, and watch the human family who spent their summers on that island.   Over the years, there was nothing she wished more than to be like them, especially so she could get close to Blake, the human boy who she saw turn into a troubled teenager and then, an unhappy man. Once her dad grew tired of her dreams and hopes for a reality that is not her own, Arianna is thrown into an arranged marriage, and her only way out of it is to make a deal with the power-hungry man who will give her everything that she has ever dreamed of.   Dreams that turn into nightmares as she watches Blake’s world fall apart, because of her and Blake’s inability to control their desires for one another.  Coming this April! www.danielelanzarotta.com
