He let out a long breath. Helplessness pricked my heart, bleeding into my veins and spreading like molten lava. His tender gaze held so much softness I nearly forgot it was Hawkin staring back at me. My eyes dipped to his lips, noticing his firm, well-shaped mouth. Nothing between us would be the same. No matter what decision I made next.

Hawkin leaned in excruciatingly slow. The anticipation alone im- mobilized me. He held his position, allowing me the option to pull away. Our breaths blended. Hawkin gazed at my lips, and when I didn’t retreat, he closed the last space between us. He claimed my mouth, speaking through our kiss. His lips were firm and guiding. The boiling heat of battle found me again, racing beneath my skin—a transformed vigor soaked in passion, not outrage.

Dana Claire is an award-winning author whose stories explore identity, fate, and destiny in the crossroads of romance and adventure. But her writing career didn’t begin when she published her first book, The Connection, in 2020. It started as a young girl when her mother, an elementary school teacher, inspired her to create imaginary worlds between the pages.

Dana’s love of romantic tension, the supernatural, and non-stop action has elicited positive feedback from many readers, as their online reviews reveal her flair for spine-tingling action and unforgettable characters. But it’s not just readers who love her; literary critics have also taken note, and Dana was given the Children’s Moonbeam award for The Connection in 2021.

Dana is now sharing her stories through speaking events and book signings, introducing more readers to the worlds she created.

And though she is living her dream as a published author, she has bigger dreams of sharing her stories through other mediums: film and television. But for now, she is satisfied with seeing her name on the spine of a book, creating worlds that combine love, science fiction, the paranormal, magic, and adventure, and fulfilling what her well-read, compassionate, patient, and selfless mother would have dreamed of doing with her: writing books, telling stories, and changing the world, one reader at a time.
