Book Blurb:
Decimated by the savage Deg’Nara and teetering on the brink of extinction, the last surviving males of the once great Chiagan-Se embark on a quest to salvage what is left of their civilization. They send their remaining seeker ships into the void, searching for genetically compatible females. Time is running out, but in the far reaches of the universe, on an obscure and primitive planet, a match is discovered. One thousand panic-stricken women awaken two hundred years in the future, captives aboard an unmanned alien spacecraft bound for parts unknown! How had they gotten there and why? The males thought they came willingly. The females believed they’d been kidnapped. Full of hopeful expectation, the Chiagan-Se prepare for the arrival of their new mates. Terrified and furious at the inexplicable abduction, the women prepare for combat! And when the two sides meet, the battle commences.
Excerpt
He wanted a life for himself. He wanted Kara. Not because Kormak chose her for him, but because everything about her was exquisite and compelling. Each moment in her presence only served to make that yearning even more deep-seated.
Of its own volition, his hand reached across the table and brushed a stray lock of hair from her face, lingering on the delicate curve of her temple. Her skin was so soft, silky.
She froze, only her eyelids moved, flaring in response.
He couldn’t bring himself to move his hand. The feel of her heartbeat pumping beneath his fingers, fast and erratic, was a soothing balm to his battered soul.
She turned a slight degree, lips caressing his palm. Warm breath heated his sensitive skin. A trembling started in the pit of his stomach, spreading outward as she nuzzled and—did she press a kiss? ‘Twould seem so. She reached up, cupping his hand as she nibbled and tasted. The feelings evoked by her touch were both erotic and disturbing. He forced himself to stillness, breathing held in check, enraptured by the feel of those velvety lips pressed against his skin. If he died at this moment, it would be enough.

Author Biography:
I am a dreamer, an avid reader of fiction, a sometimes gardener and an inept crafter. I live in Idaho, with my husband, three sons, daughter-in-law and little granddaughter. I love to travel, but always return to my beloved Idaho. For many years, I performed and taught dance but as time passed, I decided to try my hand at a new endeavor - writing. I currently have eleven books on the market and am working on another sequel to my Star Brides (Deg’Nara) Series (The Chalice, Breeder Slave and Abaddon Rising). I enjoy life and all its promises.
