Welcome to The Wormhole and my stop on the tour.
Elaina Lee
I'm Elaina Lee, romance writer. Since given an assignment in the 6th grade to write a fantasy story, I knew writing was a passion I'd never be able to do without. From that moment on my imagination took flight. Over the years I've written everything from the Dark Ages to Science Fiction, all with romantic elements, of course ;-).
As a mother of two boys, a kindergartner and high schooler, life is never boring in my house! When I'm not keeping a little one out of trouble, or trying to keep my sanity as a boy migrates into a man, I write. I'm very fortunate to have met my remarkable husband who has supported and encouraged my dreams of being an author since the day we met.
Thanks for taking the time to learn about me!

Excerpt:
Black hair framed his face and hung down just
past his collar. Her fingers twitched at her side, gripping her purse tighter.
What she wouldn’t give to find out if his hair was as soft as it looked under
the pale lighting. With a quick shake of her head, she snapped out of her
reverie. Coming here had been a mistake. Sin, like the man walking toward her,
didn’t need another invitation to her front door.
Before she could change her mind, she
turned away from him and headed toward the entrance. The door to freedom seemed
much farther than she remembered. She reached out; her fingers touched smooth
wood. A cool, fresh breeze brushed the flushed skin of her face, beckoning her.
She didn’t make the night wait. She burst out onto the sidewalk, sucking in air
to calm her raging pulse. What was wrong with her? For whatever reason, though,
something about that man had told her to run and not look back.
Hair flitted across her face, and she pushed
the stray locks away. Home was only fifteen minutes from here. Shouldering her
purse once again, she turned and started in the direction of her apartment
building.
“Miss.” A deep, smooth voice sounded
from behind her.
Lyndi froze. Did she really want to look?
Biting her lower lip, she glanced over her shoulder. Mr. Wickedly Handsome’s
lips twitched in what she figured must have been his equivalent of a smile.
“Do we know each other?” she asked,
turning to face him.
“Are you alone tonight?”
“Listen... I don’t know you, and I’m not going
to answer that question, so have a good evening.”
When she tried to turn away, his hand caressed
her upper arm. Gentle and confusing, the touch left her too mystified to
protest when he stepped closer. Leaning down, he whispered against her mouth,
“Trust me when I say, you know me.”
His warm breath brushed across her lips,
sending a wave of heat to the pit of her stomach. Every muscle in her body
wanted to move closer, wanted the distraction she knew that mouth could offer.
But despite her earlier thoughts, losing herself in a man wasn’t something she
could afford right now.
Steeling herself against the tingle of desire
he created, Lyndi lifted her gaze to his shadowed eyes. “You’re wrong and must
have mistaken me for someone else.”
A small smile curled along his lips; his
fingers grazed along her jaw. Her breath caught in her throat, and she
swallowed the whimper forming in her throat. “I know exactly who you are, Ms.
Crisdean. You are unmistakable.”
My thoughts:
Fantastic story! The characters are incredible. I thoroughly enjoyed the interactions of Lyndi and Alek, as they traversed their feelings for each other.
Filled with suspense and intrigue, this story grabs the reader from the very first page and holds all the way to the last.
This was my first Elaina Lee read and it will not be the last - I can't wait for more from this author.
