Science fiction is my first love. When I was about nine or ten, I read Moon of Three Rings by Andre Norton. It was straight sci-fi and it opened the galaxy for me. I started out writing sci-fi only to discover it was difficult to get published, so I switched to contemporary.
Well, those days are over. Indie publishing rules and I'm going back to my roots. All I need is a thirty-hour day!
Here are seven sexy paragraphs from the sci-fi romance, A Hero's Bargain.

She put
her hands on her hips. “You are…you are…”
“What?
Annoying? I know.” He grinned at her then crooked his finger at her. “Come
here.”
She
backed away, shaking her head. “No. I have things I must do while it’s
daylight. You should rest. Take the bed. I’ll sleep on the pallet.”
“Remember
our little deal, angel.” He let the blanket slip just a hair. Her eyes flicked
down to his groin. She licked her lips. His cock twitched. He could have howled
with glee at the response. She’d
take the pallet his ass. Who was she trying to fool? Her curiosity about the
stranger in her care consumed her.
Ryder
tossed the blanket over the foot of her bed and let her get a good look at him
as he worked his way beneath the covers. The bed was longer and softer than the
pallet, and he stretched out. It was heavenly to suddenly be comfortable—and
free of pain.
He tucked the covers around his hips before he looked at her. She watched him, stared at him, actually. He met her gaze.

“I’ll
rest, angel. I anticipate a long night.”
