Katherine Irons returns to a realm of elemental power, ambition, desire, and tenderness in Oceanborne. . .
An Irresistible Tide
Elena Carter has loved the sea all her life. As an underwater archaeologist, she works with it every day, cajoling it into giving up the treasures and mysteries of its past. But when she pulls a handsome stranger from the water in the midst of a storm, she realizes there is much she still has to learn. Taking shelter from the tempest, they experience sensual awakenings, pleasures different from any they have felt before. But the stranger, her intoxicating Prince Orion, disappears, leaving nothing but an ancient artifact.
Reluctantly returning to her landbound life, Elena finds more pieces to a puzzle that baffles her even as it hints at greater discoveries yet to be made. She longs to feel Orion's arms around her just one more time, and to ask him about the secrets hidden in the deep, secrets inextricably bound up with Orion and their unquenchable passion. But who—or what—is he? And once she has known the touch of the sea, can Elena return to the world she left behind?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this strong paranormal sequel to Seaborne, Irons continues her imaginative world-building and introduces a markedly more charming, nuanced heroine, though this time around the hero is a rather spoiled playboy. Underwater archeologist Elena Carter thinks her eyes deceive her when she spots an extraordinarily gorgeous man fighting for his life in a storm-tossed ocean off the Greek coast. Prince Orion of Atlantis pursues a typically lusty existence in his fairly indulgent native culture. The one thing strictly forbidden is sex with a human woman, but as soon as he and Elena rescue each other, their somewhat improbable instant attraction (fueled by Orion's magic, a fact he neglects to mention to Elena) leads to blazing undersea sex. Pointed jabs at humans trashing the world's oceans add humor to Elena's dreamy, often befuddling journey through Atlantis, which blends nicely with plot intrigues and tension that build on the previous title.
