Adult Erotic Sci-Fi Romance
ISBN: 978-1-61333-765-3
In one week, Princess Ro’sa will board a spaceship, leaving her home on
Minjet to be with her betrothed on Earth. The only problem is, she detests the
prince’s selfish and arrogant ways, preferring to spend time with his personal
aide, a man who stirs her desires in ways she never imagined possible with his
radiant blue eyes and smouldering lips. And oh, the way he touches her.
Earth’s
post-apocalyptic landscape offers little but the alliance offers much and a
princess must do her duty, no matter the danger to her person and to her heart.

Excerpt:
At
the whoosh of the space shuttle flying overhead, the feline on Ro’sa’s knee
hissed before jumping to the floor. Ro’sa hurried to the front of the house,
pressing her palms and nose against the window. Somewhere in that ship was her
betrothed, the prince from Earth she would marry.
Ka’lyn,
her best friend, squeezed in beside her, claiming the rest of the available
window space.
“What do you think he looks like? I’ve never seen anyone from
Earth before. Maybe he has two heads, or one eye....” She nudged Ro’sa’s side.
“Two cocks?”
“Ka,
really?” Flaring heat rushed to Ro’sa’s cheeks and temporarily paused the
fluttering of firetubes in her stomach. In seven rotations, she would say
good-bye to her home, her family, and all of her friends to be with a complete
stranger. She’d grown up knowing this time would come, but it had always seemed
so far away. Until he’d arrived. Ro’sa swallowed her nerves. “His people
just recently joined the Confederacy. I think the only reason they were invited
was to prevent an intergalactic war when they learned of the existence of life
beyond their own solar system.” They’d
already destroyed most of their planet. Who knows what they would have done had
the Confederacy not intervened?
Ka’lyn
grabbed her shoulders and turned Ro’sa to face her. “I know all this, but what
do they look like?”
“Humanoid,
like us.” She searched her memory for the few Terran dignitaries she’d met.
“But their skin is different shades of brown, from nearly white to almost
black.” Though she had no idea where her betrothed fit into the spectrum, never
having been allowed to travel to Earth. How she wished she had. If her parents
had allowed them to meet earlier, she’d have far fewer worries and much more
experience with how to interact with those from Earth, and with her betrothed.
She’d retained her virginity for him, the only female her age on the planet who
hadn’t experienced sex, though she hoped to know what it was like before she
left for Earth.
“Weird.
So, when do you get to meet him?”
“Tonight.”
Ro’sa returned her gaze out the window, watching the shuttle descend onto the
runway. Had the prince saved himself for her? “There’s an official introduction
ceremony where we will shake hands and eat our first meal together.”
“That’s
crap.” Her friend tugged on her fingers. “Let’s go meet him as he’s coming off
the ship.”
Ro’sa
shook her head, yanking her hand away. “I can’t. I have to follow protocol.”
“Then
we’ll hide in the shrubs. Don’t you want to check him out before you’re
introduced to him in front of everyone?”
Biting
her bottom lip, Ro’sa watched the spacecraft disappear below the treetops. “I
guess.” Then she wouldn’t look like a fool in her first reaction to him. She
could hold her emotions in check, having already caught sight of the prince.
“Let’s
go then.” Ka’lyn stood at the door before she had the chance to move.
They left her friend’s home behind. Darting through the woods on the packed dirt path, Ro’sa hoped they’d make it to the runway in time. If the castle guards hastened him away, they’d never make it in time. Why hadn’t her parents let her meet him years ago? Was he that horrendous looking? At least they could have shown her a picture.
