Celebrate weddings with Matrix Crystal Rebels by @janiceseagraves #scifiromance #giveaway #scifi



Title: Matrix Crystal Rebels

Author: Janice Seagraves

Genre: Science Fiction Romance

Book Blurb:

Earth geologist Steen’s mission is to look and act like a Zeeman so he can locate matrix crystals. But when Steen’s deception fails, the beautiful Rain Namaste coaches him. He doesn’t realize he’s fallen in love with the lovely redhead until someone tries to claim her on Hymeneal Night.

Steen will do anything to get Rain back, but is he willing to take her as a Hymeneal bride for himself?

Excerpt:

“Mom.” Rain waved at Maya. “Someone is here to see you.”

“Oh?” With one last swat at her clothes, Maya marched over.

“He says he’s a merchant.” Rain gestured at Steen.

Maya scanned his attire and snorted. “Tell your commander, nice try.”

His stomach dropped. “Huh? What did I do wrong?”

“Whoever coached you was misguided. For one thing, your clothes are the wrong type. Merchants don’t wear rough weave.” Maya rubbed the fabric of his sleeve between her thumb and forefinger. “That’s for peasants. Too fine a weave would be clan, so you’d have to find something in-between.” She stared at his eyes a moment.

“Are those contacts?”

He rubbed his eyelids. “Implants. I can tolerate the bright sun with them.”

She gave a nod. “You’ll need it here. Nice touch with the hair, by the way.”

He fingered a braid. “At least I did something right.”

“It’s a little long for so many braids. And the skin tone… Is that a skin dye?” She stared at his face.

“DNA treatments.”

“How about the Zeeman dual belly buttons?”

Steen pulled up his shirt.

“Wow. Which is fake?”

“The top.” He handed her his tote. “I brought a gift for you.”

She cocked her head to the side and sighed. Taking the tote, she nodded toward the house. “Will you come in for some tea?”

“Yes, thank you.” He bowed low, hiding a smile.

Maya led the way up on the porch. He did what she did, removing his shoes, washing his feet in the basin then pulling on a pair of house slippers she handed him.

“Nice. You invoked guest privilege,” Rain said in his ear. “Mother is human but practices the ways of the Zeeman.”

“I know.” He smirked at her.

With a reluctant expression, Maya held the door open for him. “Tea won’t be but a moment.”

“Goddess tea.” He bowed again.

“Of course.” Maya disappeared into the kitchen.

Rain showed him the dining table. “My father and brother probably won’t be as nice as my mom.”

He sat on the richly carved black ironwood chair next to Rain. “You’re an attractive young female. Maybe I should have said I came here to woo you?”

Interest lit her gaze. “And then you’d have to answer a lot of questions from both my parents. We take wooing very seriously here in Zama.”
