Bad Sun Rising

     Enzo and Irene were supposed to be true love at first sight.  The intensity of their passion was poignant from their first meeting. What was a month long, post graduation trip to Italy, turned into nearly a decade with a handful of kids. 

     Just as their marriage is falling apart, their home is opened to Irene's best friend. Enzo and Irene weren't fighting this badly when they agreed to host Hayden's wedding. One couple will come together and the other will fall a part. 

 

Is romance your genre? Then read this excerpt:

 

     When he saw her strip, he was stupefied, nailed rigidly to the ground by her beauty. As she disregarded her clothes, she began to step into the water, returning the element from which he was positive that she had come. His own Venus was about to return to the sea and be lost to him forever.

 

     She floated for a long while in a pond that was not most suitable for swimming. The locals tended to favor the pool, for the water in the pond was a little too stagnant and the few fish that came from it tasted off.

     

     Had it been a whole minute yet? Had it been five? Just how long was she planning to hold her breath? She knew he hated it when she did that. Beneath the dark surface of the pond, there was no way to tell if she was still holding her breath or if it had escaped her for good.

       

     Stripping his shirt, Enzo set after her into an element that was not his own.
