When Ryder crash lands on an alien world, Saba saves his life - for a price. To save her people, Saba needs him to kill the deadly errol, and the only coin she has to offer him is her body.
Here are seven sexy paragraphs from A Hero's Bargain.
^_^_^_^_^_^
“You will
heal but it will take time,” Saba told him with far more calm than she felt.
Ryder hissed, pressing his hands to his stomach. Alarmed, she jumped up. Quick as a
snake, he had her again, one hand fisting in her hair, trapping her.
“Heal me,
then.”
His mouth
came down on hers with bruising force. She pushed against him but he was too
strong. His tongue swept over her lips and suddenly, escaping him wasn’t
important. Deep in her belly her womb contracted. Need, hot and sweet, throbbed
with each beat of her racing heart.
His kiss
gentled, coaxing her now with a soft plea to answer him. Her arms slid around
his neck. Her lips opened. There was a low rumble in his chest as his arms tightened
around her. Awareness of her surroundings faded. All she knew was his lips
moving on hers and his warm hand slowly caressing her back. She was caught in
the spell he wove, floating in some dark place where her body spoke to her of
aching loneliness and whispered its hope of fulfillment.
Softly,
ever so softly, the kiss ended. His lips left hers, lingering a hairsbreadth
away. His hands slid to her hips, grasping them with strong fingers and pulling
her to him. The hard ridge of his manhood greeted her. She looked into his
eyes, gone black with desire.
“You’ll come to my bed first. Then I’ll talk to
Tyree about my weapons.”

Hi Rayne! It's Cathie (Caffey) Long time!! I saw your announcement about your re-release of this book and others and this one is one of my favorites, so I'm thrilled it's back out. I think of you often! I don't find your email so would have emailed you for sure more often! Keep believing. Cathie
ReplyDeleteHi Cathie! Wow, it has been a long time. It's been a long, strange ride, that's for sure. I'm in the process of self-pubbing my old titles that got wiped out when Whiskey Creek sold out to Start Publishing. Which means the ride is getting even stranger! Great to hear from you :)
