Now available outside the U.S. You can get your copy at Totally Bound's site right now. Or pre-order at Amazon in the UK, Germany, Australia, Canada, and France. The book will be available there on July 26. Yes, Canada is there too. Due to miscommunications, I belated learned I kept only U.S. rights, not North American. Whoops!
Print has not yet been scheduled. It may be a while yet before Alien Hostage is available in that format.
Tasha Salter is caught in a quandary: she wants to fall in love, but
past trauma keeps her from commitment. The only people she trusts are her
family, especially in this time of treason against the Kalquorian Empire. When
she and her three-year-old cousin are abducted by the revolt’s shadowy leader,
matters of the heart no longer apply. She finds herself in a battle for their
survival.
Clan Falinset left Kalquor in self-imposed exile when their parents’
illegal activities threatened their honor. Dramok Falinset, Imdiko Nur, and
Nobek Wekniz only want to be left alone to live their quiet lives. Yet the
drumbeat of war is sounding as traitorous forces prepare to attack Kalquor.
Worse still, the revolt’s leader wants his son Falinset at his side … and
refuses to take no for an answer.
A wild escape attempt throws Tasha and her young charge into the
reluctant care of Clan Falinset. With betrayal in their past and war in their
future, there is no reason to find love. Yet passion flares between those who
should be enemies, leading Clan Falinset and Tasha to realize that they are not
on opposite sides after all. Together they have the chance to heal.
Yet the sins of the fathers have come to rest on the shoulders of their
sons. Falinset must make an impossible choice: bow to his father’s blackmail
and turn traitor to the Empire or doom his clan by saving the young princess of
Kalquor and the woman he’s fallen in love with.
Contains BDSM situations including bondage, D/s, and multiple partners.
He was shocked when she reached up
to stroke the scar dragging the corner of his mouth down. Her husky voice even
lower than before, she murmured, “So strong. So fierce.”
He swallowed hard. He did not dare
to think she could be interested in him, and silently warned the throb in his
groin to depart. “Strong and fierce. And not pretty.”
Tasha snorted as if he’d said the
most ridiculous words ever uttered. “I don’t care about pretty. Give me vigor.
Intensity.” She rose up on her knees on the lounger so they were eye to eye.
Her hand cupped the melted side of his face with the air of a connoisseur
admiring a fine piece of statuary.
Wekniz couldn’t believe it when
she leaned close to press her lips to his marred cheek. “Give me power and
might.” Her hands moved down, touching his chest and abdomen, her hands
skimming over his shirt to feel the body beneath. “Bravery. Guts.” She pulled
at his shirt, drawing it up to uncover the rest of his scars to touch them with
reverence before bending to run her mouth and tongue over the disfigured flesh.
“To hell with pretty. I want the body of the conqueror, the man who has faced
the worst and lived to tell about it. The magnificence of the warrior who can’t
be defeated.”
Wekniz watched her, too stunned to
move consciously. Yet his instincts blazed to life. His cocks pounded with the
beat of his pulse, the hairs on his body standing on end. As she kissed and
stroked the scarred skin with frenzied excitement, his being drew closer to the
violent moment when he must take her.
She abruptly stopped her
near-frantic embraces to stare at him with want-filled eyes. “You are
magnificent. Will you have me? You don’t have to offer sweet words. You don’t
need to worry if I want you to fuck me senseless, because I do.”
One part of Wekniz thought she had
to be joking. Surely this beautiful creature couldn’t want him. But the burning
in her eyes said something else. Seeing that eagerness slammed shut any
arguments the Nobek might have come up with. Hunger roared forward, taking away
all hesitation.
In an instant, Wekniz had Tasha on
her back, his body covering hers, passion pouring from him as he tore at the
shirt she’d borrowed from Nur. All was devouring need.
She was as ardent, her hands
everywhere, her mouth latched onto his. Damn it, she was a little wildcat. He
felt ravished, ravaged, ready to be made a meal of by the fervent Earther. The
dominant in him rose up, but Wekniz held it off. He didn’t want to mess this
chance up.
But when her hand clamped on his
crotch, the need to be in charge overwhelmed him. He wanted the woman his way.
His need to be in charge was quick to remind him she’d practically begged him
to take her. He heeded that call, moving fast to grab her wrists and pin them
over her head. He heaved up to stare at her.
Tasha gazed up at him, her eyes
growing wide and round and soft. Her mouth parted open, a tiny sigh escaping.
Her breathing was quick and shallow. Her expression – it was all want. Complete
surrender.
Wekniz’s cocks swelled at the
sight of willing, compliant woman. The wildcat had wanted to be tamed. The
thought swamped his senses, and his shafts gave a massive jerk.
By the ancestors. This could be
amazing.
His thoughts flew, wondering what
she’d respond to. Being held down played havoc with her desires. He scented the
raw need coming from her lush little body, the smell drawing his more
animalistic instincts to a razor-sharp point. Oh, he had a thought or two of
where an interest in bondage could lead.
Wekniz held her down with one
hand. The other unbuckled his belt. He pulled it free of his waist, sliding off
pouches that held the things he liked to carry as he went. Tasha watched him do
so, her blue-green eyes gleaming with delighted knowledge. So she thought she
knew what he was up to, did she? He was about to surprise her.
He let go of her arms to put the
belt in position. She had no time to figure it out before the belt circled
about her neck and he closed the loop. The Nobek kept his fingers between the
strap and her throat, making sure it wasn’t tight enough to choke. He locked
down the buckle’s latch. There. She was collared and leashed, a perfect pet
harnessed nice and proper.
