New Release In Fantasy Romance: Saunders’ Choice By Gina Briganti – Excerpt #2

Excerpt

Continued from excerpt #1

Cassidy looked exactly the way she wanted to look.  As did Velvet.  As did the club she performed in.  It was the perfection of everything in her life that had developed Velvet’s sense of humor to begin with.  She needed a break from the sameness of perfection.

“Cassidy,” she sang back in answer, turning her bubbles into kissing lips that smacked Cassidy on the cheek when they reached her.  They made a smacking sound for the kiss, and then popped, returning to the water.

“They liked you.” Cassidy leaned back in the purple chair, releasing smoky tendrils from her lungs and her cigarette while she spoke.

“They did like me,” Velvet agreed.  “My new set about the dangers of washing and styling your hair in a whirlpool went over well with the females.”

Blurb:

She lives life below the waves. What will a man sacrifice to discover it’s not a dream?

Mermaid Velvet has always had a special fascination with the World. And studying its two-legged humans has given the aspiring comedian unique skills to make her audiences laugh. But when she saves a human who believes he’s drowning, she’s stunned by the magic that flows between them.

Saunders is trapped between two realities with no memory of his past. Lost in a strange, underwater domain, he comes face-to-face with an alluring goddess of the sea. When he disappears from her realm, he’s desperate to reunite with the entrancing beauty.

As Velvet continues to bring Saunders out of the darkness, her love for him grows along with her fear that his next disappearance might be his last. And as his memories slowly return, Saunders must decide if he’s willing to leave the World permanently for a chance to be with the mermaid he desires.

Can Velvet and Saunders overcome his terrible fate and sink into each other’s perfect arms?

Saunders’ Choice is a standalone novella in the enchanting Natural Gifts fantasy romance series. If you like irresistible attraction, mystery, and love against the odds, then you’ll adore Gina Briganti’s tale of the deep.

*An early version of Saunders’ Choice was published in the Changing Worlds anthology.

Velvet had to smile at Cassidy’s mimicry of 1950’s television where the characters were in black and white, with cigarette in hand, and an evening cocktail on the table in front of them.  She had styled her hair, and colored it, to match Lucy Ricardo’s ravishing red in the I love Lucy show.  Her tail matched.  She was more modest than Velvet, too, because she wore black shells to cover her breasts.

Deep in the Dreaming by Gina Briganti Release Week Video: The Inspiration Behind Deep in the Dreaming

Where was the Dreaming he'd found refuge in_ From where he was sitting now he wouldn't believe it existed if he didn't know better.

Draper Montgomery has been living a fantasy life in a parallel reality reached by the select few who could go there through meditation or sleep while the body rested in the World. Where he was now. 3-D reality some call it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CR1mKBvl7jk

A parallel world. A trapped soul. To save her friends, they’ll battle addiction, magic, and eternity…

Elena Zucchero has lived and lost in reality. Now she fills her heart through her work as a hypnotherapist by helping her patients improve their lives. But when a nightmare plagues her sleep, she learns her friends have gone missing in an addictive alternate plane. And the only way to save them may require feeding the demons of her handsome new client…

Draper Montgomery painfully resists the call of the Dreaming. But despite his dangerous cravings, he senses his enchanting therapist has a wound he can help heal. And to satisfy his heart’s desire, he may just have to risk the very foundation of his mind…

As Elena and Draper discover a deeper soul connection, the therapist struggles to keep her distance in the hunt for her friends. If the people she loves even want to be saved…

Will the perilous hunt to rescue her friends lose them their lives and their souls?

Deep in the Dreaming is the fourth standalone book in the captivating Natural Gifts paranormal romance series. If you like mysterious worlds, conflicted characters, and love that conquers all, then you’ll adore Gina Briganti’s enthralling tale.

Name This Dish

Name This Dish

Like the characters who cook in my Natural Gift series of paranormal romances, I am always experimenting with food and writing new recipes. Today I’d love it if you would join in on the fun and help me name this dish.

Your first question is probably, “What’s in it?” Right? What you see in the pic is mushrooms, onions, red bell pepper, zucchini, carrots, rice, and a vegan sausage we tried for the first time that night made by Beyond Meat. We liked it and will buy it again. What’s harder to see is the garlic cashew cream sauce the casserole baked in, forming a crunchy crust. It was so good!

So, what do you say? I’m looking forward to hearing your suggestions.

Another of my great loves is writing about food. Check out No Yesterdays to see what the group is cooking up and to enjoy heartwarming romance.

No Yesterdays is book 3 in the Natural Gifts series. Available for Kindle and Kindle Unlimited.

“I’ve got all my stuff, Dad.  I finished some of my math homework, too.  Thanks again for all the food, Mrs. C.  It’s really good.”

“We’ll be here.  Thank you, Dana.  It’s been awhile since I had food this great.  I like home cooking.”

The Dreaming – Installment #29

The Dreaming

Joe flushed a little at what he was thinking.  Dana was a nice, neighborly sort of woman.  She didn’t need him thinking about what she looked like naked.

She preened with the awareness that he found her attractive.  She winked at him.  “Of the food.”

Joe’s tanned face widened into a big smile, his blue eyes taking on a new shine.

The Dreaming

“K, Mrs. C., I’ll be right there.”

She escaped back to the relative quiet of the kitchen.  Joe had eaten the orange chili.

“He’s on his way out.  So, what do you think?”  She leaned against the counter.
