Enjoy an Excerpt!
My new book is out, and I’ve been dying to share it with you. This is Dreams of a Fierce Heart, Book #4 in the Dreamwalkers series, and it’s all about Cynthia and Nick’s story. She’s fed up with trying to play by the rules, and he’s determined to do everything he can to keep her for himself. This all began with my first book, Quicksilver Dreams, and the wonderful characters, Taylor and Ryder, who walked me through my first creative writing process. They were very patient with me while I figured everything out from the bottom up. There is a fantastic interview about this first book at: https://manybooks.net/featured-authors/danube-adele-sci-fi-action-and-a-lot-of-romance Manybooks has been a wonderful hosting sight for adds as well as promoting me for an author spotlight. I hope you add them to your list of sites to check out, and hopefully, find your way there. And now for the excerpt! Please have a read and let me know what you think. You can find the book links below. Prologue Step one, be spontaneous. Check. He had no idea what was coming, since I’d transferred into his bedroom secretly. Step two, be confident and enthusiastic. Check, check. The article said confidence was sexy and a way for your man to become addicted to you. I loved the sound of that, and wasn’t I here? Ready to be adventurous? Ready to show him he was the one for me? I had this covered. Step three, wear something he’s going to want to rip off you. Check, check, and check. I actually looked womanly, maybe not in a Marilyn Monroe, spilling out of my bra cups, voluptuous sort of way, but in a sleek, athletic way. For the first time in seventeen-and-a-half years, I was totally ultra-feminine and not like a young boy. My legs were miles long, covered in white thigh highs that were attached to a white garter belt with delicate pink bows. A matching pink thong framed my butt, my surprisingly rounded butt, considering I was taller than average and had been unavoidably thin during my adolescence. Pink, lacy demi cups gathered my breasts in soft silks, giving me the best cleavage I’d ever had in my life. No one would call me busty, but there was a small handful of soft-looking, milky skin peeking up over the cup of my new, secret lingerie. Wasn’t it a waste to have too much? I read that in the article, too. It had been in the magazine Couture and was titled “How to Keep Your Man Satisfied.” Olidia and I had pored over it, cover-to-cover, which was also where I’d seen a vintage picture of Marilyn Monroe, my new feminine icon. She’d become my new obsession, my need to find all things Marilyn an added goal in my search through secret smuggled products transferred from Earth on the black market. It was rare that we were able to come upon such fantastic finds in the Sunan Market Place, but we knew who to see for the pirated loot. The prevailing culture amongst the citizens within the capital city of the Sunan nation, Milak, was harshly reserved and overly protective of the women. All I knew was that mindset somehow came from a horrible tragedy. So things like my lingerie and the magazine definitely had to be snuck in with a shipment from Earth of other goods. At this point, I had the article memorized. My pose was picture perfect. I was reclined on Nick’s oversized bed amid...

It has been a long time in coming, and I am very pleased to share that Dreams of a Fierce Heart, Dreamwalkers #4, has finally been completed. Life gets busy when you’re a wife, a mom, have a regular dayjob, and you’re trying to write on top of that. Luckily, unluckily, my boys are nearly out of high school and beginning to create their own lives. It’s both happy and sad because they don’t need their mom so much anymore, which means we did our jobs as parents, but it also means they don’t need their mom so much anymore. The silver lining? I have gradually had more and more time to myself. Here is the result! Fearless. Some have called me impulsive, and maybe I was, much to my own detriment…at seventeen. A social pariah in my own nation after being found in a fatally compromising position, I tucked tail and ran to Earth for study, work, and to heal my wounded heart. It took seven years for the opportunity at redemption, to earn my way back home, but it means infiltrating dangerous enemy territory. If the Brausa catch me, I might wish for a quick death. My goals? I have two of them. Save my childhood friend, our Sunan leader’s last surviving daughter, and, get away from Nick Dylant. His deathbed promise to my older brother has him bulldozing into my life, making demands regarding my safety. He’s found a way to force a marriage using some obscure, arcane law of old in order to protect me, but if he thinks he can force his will on me, he can think again. There is no way he’s going to control who I am or what I do in this world. I don’t need his or anyone’s permission to steal away in the middle of the night with a disguise, a rough map, and an even rougher plan of action, because one thing is for certain: I refuse to join with anyone who sees me as a duty, not when I’ve loved Nick since I was a child. Not when I dream about his kisses and crave his touch. Book Four of The Dreamwalkers Going live 9/9/19 ~ Available on pre-order now!
