Rough Weather: Elemental Passions Book 2 by Lisabet Sarai

Genre Paranormal erotic romance

Book heat level (based on movie ratings): Rated X

Destiny hides in the tempest’s heart

A fated encounter. A familiar stranger. A storm of passion. Can Ondine release her fear, surrender to Marut’s power, and claim her own?

Marine biologist Ondine Ambrose has always felt at home in the sea. Orphaned at birth and raised by her grandmother on the island of Martha’s Vineyard, she has never really questioned her extraordinary affinity for the watery world.

When she encounters an attractive but arrogant engineer on her private beach, surveying the site for a prospective off-shore wind farm, anger is her first reaction. A casual touch, however, transforms that emotion to incomprehensible, irresistible, terrifying lust.

Ebony-skinned Marut has his own talents—aside from his uncanny ability to swamp Ondine with desire. He can control the winds and summon storms. When he insists that they are both more than human, and that she is his destined mate, Ondine responds with skepticism. She tries to resist the charismatic Haitian, but ultimately she cannot deny the evidence of her senses—and her heart.

QUICK

Do you write more than one genre? If so, what are they?…

My publication history includes contemporary, paranormal, science fiction, steam punk, historical, interracial/multicultural, mystery and suspense, BDSM, LGBTQ (both FF and MM), menage and polyamory, and romantic erotica. About the only genres that I don’t write are Christian, Western and sports romances. And who knows – I might tackle those at some point! I love to stretch myself and try new things.

The disadvantage of this genre multiplicity is that I don’t have a clear brand. That makes marketing a major pain. The advantage – my readers can always expect something new and exciting!

How do you come up with ideas?…

That varies tremendously depending on the book. Sometimes a title will pop into my head, demanding that I wrap a story around it. Sometimes a book will begin with a character’s voice haranguing me. Not infrequently I’ll start a book as a reaction to some other book, event or trend. For instance, my contemporary romance The Gazillionaire and the Virgin was inspired by my frustration with the flood of billionaire BDSM romances that followed the success of Fifty Shades. I had the perverse desire to twist all those tropes beyond recognition.

Rough Weather was inspired by my writing of another book about elementals entitled Hot Spell. I hadn’t really expected this, but the characters of Ondine and Marut showed up at the end of that romance and demanded a chance to tell their own story.

What is the single most important part of writing for you?…

I guess I’d have to say the intense joy that accompanies being “in the zone” – when the words and ideas flow and writing seems effortless. That’s an incredibly intoxicating and fulfilling experience. (Too bad writing isn’t always like that!)

A close second has to be connecting with readers. When a reader emails me, telling me she enjoyed my story, or someone leaves a review that shows she really “got” what I was trying to express, that can make my entire week.

When did you write your first book?…

My first novel, Raw Silk, was written and published in 1999. It is now in its fourth edition. I’ve been writing continuously since then.

Of course, like most authors, I did a lot of writing before I ever considered publication, simply for fun or to amuse my private readers.

Note: To celebrate the release of Rough Weather, the first book in the series, Hot Spell, is on sale for only 99 cents
