Mist Revealed
By Nancy Corrigan
Elemental Desire, Book 1
A woman seeking answers…
Cat, a renowned scientist, embarks on a quest to uncover the source of the unknown
deadly virus that claimed her sister’s life. What she finds is a man shrouded in mystery
who manages the impossible—swaying her devotion from logic to passion. But Rune
isn’t simply a lover. He’s a weapon, one that has the potential to save her or destroy
her.
A man searching for treasure…
Rune, a child of the mist, awakens into a world hovering on the verge of destruction.
Ragnarok is coming. His enemies have been released from their prison. And he’s
discovered the one woman who can thaw his frozen heart. But the race to stop the final
battle isn’t the time to fall in love. Or is it?
A discovery that will change everything…
Life evolves, and what was lost can be recovered. But the truth revealed isn’t the one
Cat or Rune expects. The impossible has become reality. And two lovers must make a
choice—adapt or die.

Excerpt (R)
A cold gust of wind swept into the room. She glanced over her shoulder. The sight
that met her stopped her heart. Rune stood just inside the doorway, mist swirling around
his feet. She looked from the odd fog to his face. The light from the nearby lamp left half
of it in shadows. It didn’t dim his expression, however.
Hungry. Intense. Primal.
He focused his blue-gray eyes on her. She couldn’t have looked away if she wanted
“Catherine? You there? Your image cut out. All I hear is wind wailing.”
Wind? What wind?
Rune glanced from her to the computer. The lights flickered. A pop sounded. She
gasped and swung her head to peer at her computer. Only a black screen showed. The
lights wavered again, then went out.
The sound of a door slamming tore a squeak from her throat. Her heart raced. She
hated the dark.
“Rune?”
No answer.
The window cast a small sliver of light across the room, not enough to see much but
it calmed her frantic pulse.
“The power went out.” She stated the obvious, but she had to say something. The
silence threatened to stir her anxiety.
He didn’t respond.
A shiver raced down her spine. The cold air Rune had let in chilled her. She rubbed
at her arms to warm them. It didn’t help. Her teeth chattered. “Do you have a generator?
It’s going to get pretty uncomfortable in here soon.”
Hands caught her hips from behind. A hard body pressed along her back. And the
scent of a crisp autumn day filled her lungs. She relaxed into him. Rune hooked his
arms around her waist. She tugged them tighter. The warmth he gave off felt heavenly
compared to the icy air fogging her breath.
“Who was the male you were talking to?”
“Sam. He’s—”
“Is he your lover?”
Not seeing any reason to lie, she answered. “Sometimes. We’re not serious.”
He buried his face in the crook of her neck. For a long moment, he only breathed
slowly. Each exhale heated her body.
“You won’t touch him again.” He pressed his lips to her ear. “I won’t share you.”
The stark possessiveness in his voice and words should’ve made her see red. It
didn’t. Confusion over why he’d care surfaced instead.
“Share me? What are you talking about?”
“Your body, Cat.” He kissed her, right below her ear. Another shiver raced down her
spine. Desire fueled it. She was no longer cold. “And your heart, your life, your future.
They’re mine.”
Oh. Dear. God.
Arousal flowed with his low gravely declaration. Every inch of her body tingled, eager
for his touch.
Hello? Modern woman here. The alpha male attitude should not push me into a state
of instant desire. It did, though. She didn’t want to consider what that said about her.
“Don’t I get a say in this?”
He clamped his mouth over her neck and nibbled. His teeth scraped her, and a
groaned sigh escaped him. He eased back so only his lips brushed her skin.
“Oh yes. You get the final say. I will never take anything from you that you don’t
willingly give.” He covered her lower belly with his spread fingers, then inched them
higher. At her waistband, he popped the button, tugged the zipper and shoved her jeans
down. “And you offered to feed me.”

A little about Nancy…
A true romantic at heart, Nancy Corrigan is convinced there’s a knight in shining
armor for every woman (or man), but you won’t find damsels in distress in her stories.
She adores pairing alpha heroes with women strong enough to match them and bring
them to their knees. She also enjoys flipping the traditional roles in romances because
her motto is—love and people should never be forced to conform to anyone’s norm.
She holds a degree in chemistry and has worked in research but now focuses on
ensuring quality. She considers it the perfect outlet for her as she’s the first to admit she
has some OCD tendencies. It carries over into her writing life too. While engrossed in a
novel, she has a habit of forgetting to eat and sleep. Fortunately, she’s married to her
own knight in shining armor who understands her oddities and loves her anyway. They
reside in Pennsylvania with their three children, dog, snake and guinea pigs. Her other
interests include tattoos, animals, classic cars and all things spooky and sexy.
