Updrift — Errin Stevens

What if joining your lover's world meant you were cut off from your own? Kate will have to look hard at her man to learn what about him is real, what is illusion, and how -- if ever -- she can get back home. Errin Stevens brings her fantasy world to life in Updrift, Book 1 of her new paranormal romance series, The Mer Chronicles.



Since her father died, Kate Sweeting's home life has been in the pits, her well-being on life support. Her future looks desolate until she and her mother, Cara, make another plan: abandon their shriveled existence for more promising prospects on the coast, where her mom can play small-town librarian-bachelorette and Kate can figure out what's up with the secretive Blake family from the beach.



Everyone is eerily captivated with Kate and her mother, and Cara is the first to figure out why when the man of her dreams arrives all dripping and devoted and closed-mouthed about what he intends. Kate is willing to go along with their subterfuge for a while, but eventually makes a charge for the water to learn what her mother is hiding. Gabe Blake is there waiting for her…and so is someone considerably less friendly. By the time Kate navigates her way home, everything will have changed for her -- what she feels, what she wants, and what she will risk to be with the man she loves.
