BLURB:
With
an ex from hell haunting his dreams, Sotarios Numida can’t catch a break.
Thinking a trip to Earth to seek offspring of the Unfortunate One Hundred might
clear his head—he thought wrong. Instead, destiny leads him right to the one
woman that forces him to face his past and a secret he’s horrified to admit.
Raine
Holter is tough, focused, and dealing with a secret of her own. The last thing
she expected to find during her usual daily grind was her soulmate. Especially
one that can’t seem to make his mind up on whether to grip her close or shove
her away. Undaunted, this little spitfire plans to thaw Sotarios’s frozen heart
even if hers has to take a few beatings before he sees the truth.
Book
8 in the Fueled By Lust Series yanks you right back into the lives of the
sinfully sexy Insedi. One fast paced, jaw dropping, breath stealing, hell of a
ride.
Mild
Flinching at the stab of light to her retina, Raine looked
up and spotted a gleaming-black SUV parking by the stairwell. Leaning closer
she peered through the glass, unable to trust her eyes.
“Is that him? Oh, man. It is.” Heart thudding, she scrambled
to finish cleaning up the blob of hair she’d been slowly moving around the room
and threw the broom behind the counter. Assured she didn’t have any remnants
clinging to her T-shirt or jeans, Raine felt confident enough to approach the
door again. He was still sitting in the car.
“Good grief. How is it possible for him to be more gorgeous
than he was last night?” Hands pressed against her belly, Raine realized she
hadn’t been this nervous in years. She couldn’t get over how quickly he caused
her internal organs to start flipping all over the place. As soon as she’d
gotten a good look at his beautiful sapphire-colored eyes, she’d thought her
skin was going to buzz right off her body. Five minutes into speaking with him
and she knew she was a goner. Especially when he’d gotten all growly from
spotting her injuries. That was so freaking sweet. From just the little
interaction she’d had with him last night, she could tell he wasn’t a dumb
jock. Far from it. She whispered, “Been around enough of them to know the
difference, that’s for sure,” and discovered how close her nose was to the
glass. Quickly passing a palm across the oval mist, she backed up a few steps
and tried to act civilized.
Skin tingling as she watched him step out of the car, Raine
tried to keep from blinking. She didn’t want to miss one single frame.
“Damn, would you look at that?” His powerful body was clad
in a dark-blue muscle shirt, faded jeans, and the killer biker boots he’d had
on last night. The sun twinkled off the silver chain circling his thick neck
and cast a warm glow against his tanned skin. “Oh, just kill me now. That’s way
too much perfection.”
Excerpt
Two:
Hot
Broad hands stabbed into her hair, clasping her tightly. He
expertly sucked, licked, and nipped until she thought she might pass out from
the sublime overload to her senses. She couldn’t get enough of his taste and
the feel of him against her body, but she knew it was time to slow down and
savor this miracle in her arms. Pulling back, Raine pressed her forehead
against his, enjoying the mingling of their panting breath.
“I want to see you, Sotarios. All of you.” Lifting up, Raine
tugged gently at the bottom of his shirt. Within seconds, he had it yanked over
his head and thrown to the floor. Taking her time, she trailed her fingers over
every inch of his perfect golden skin and spectacular muscles until his belly
was trembling. He reached up and gripped the pillows above his head, biceps
turning into hard, rounded boulders. As the large muscles extending along his
sides flared out like wings, she sucked in a breath. Goddamn, he’s massive.
After a few rounds of sweet touching torture, Raine could
tell he particularly liked the sensation of her thumb rubbing slowly over his
beaded nipples. His breath ratcheted up several notches as her hands traced
along the muscles capping his narrow hips and arrowing down to his crotch,
pointing her toward nirvana.
Sotarios’s glittering sapphire eyes remained locked onto
hers, and she could see his jaw clenching. She couldn’t wait until he finally
decided to release whatever beast he was fighting to hold back. That’s okay,
sweetie. I’ll just take my time worshipping you until you find the courage.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
I was born and
raised in a small town between Dallas/Fort Worth and Austin. Wanting to see
more than her small Texas town, I joined the Marines, which satisfied my
craving to see more of the U.S. and my drive to see if I could be one of the
few and the proud.
A firm believer
in educating the mind, I’ve achieved several advanced degrees, the latest being
a master’s of science.
My true love is
writing erotic romance, especially about alien hunks that know how to treat
their females. Drusus, Severus, Cato, Lucien, Caelius, Maxim and many more have
swirled in my dreams until I had to bring them to life and allow them to find
love within the pages of the Fueled by Lust book series.
