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.
Excerpt:
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.”

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.
