Across Time is now available in paperback and digital download at Amazon. This was a long time coming and it's a waiting process every author goes through at some point in their career. When you know you have a story that's really good (the old Two Lips Reviews did give it a Recommended Read) all you can do is persevere until you find the right publisher.
Now in its third edition, Across Time is better than ever with added scenes. It was a joy to revisit the story and see how much I've grown as a writer since it was originally written. I have a few more old manuscripts on the hard drive and I think it's time to dust them off and get them back out into the world, too.
I hope you'll enjoy Across Time. Find it at here at Amazon.
About the book:
Corri Dunn’s mission to distant Adhara VII begins on a
downhill slide. Not only have her superiors withheld vital information, but
Devin Tremaine knows what it is. Corri must face Devin, and what happened
between them five years ago, or lose her command. Confronting the truth means
facing the fact she still loves Devin. She wants him back in her life, and her
bed, but she has to complete her assignment first.
Devin Tremaine made one big mistake in his life – he lost
Corri Dunn when she needed his understanding and he couldn’t give it. Now
they’re both at Adhara VII, caught in a web of deceit – and renewed passion.
Corri’s been sent into a trap and he’s the only one who can save her.
The secrets of Adhara VII unlock their past, present
and a future fast unraveling. To survive, Corri and Devin must make a leap of
faith – across time.
An excerpt:
Oh hell! He was walking toward her.
Corri was aware of her crewmembers behind her in the meadow. It couldn’t be
helped. If she walked over the rim and out of sight her security people would
come running. She had to stand her ground.
He wasn’t even breathing hard when
he stopped about six feet away. He took off his sunglasses to look her up and
down.
Her heart pounded in her chest but
she kept her tone cool. “Do I pass inspection?”
“You always did, Dunn.
Congratulations on getting the Avery McKenna.”
“Thank you.” She’d had the ship
three years. “What are you doing here, Tremaine? And don’t try and weasel out
of telling me the truth.”
“We all take orders. Mine said come
here. Didn’t yours?”
“We can stand here and verbally
spar all day and get nowhere. But I’d rather have some answers. Wouldn’t you?”
“Keep your friends close and your
enemies closer, eh, Dunn?”
“Is that what you are? My enemy?”
“It’s not what I want to be. It’s
what you made me.” His gaze warred with hers.
“That’s not true,” she denied,
moving away from him. She wasn’t ready for this conversation. In truth, maybe
she had made him the enemy.
“Look, Dunn, let’s wave the white
flag.”
Corri fought the urge to fidget
under the calculating look Devin gave her. In that instant she knew with a
certainty she didn’t question that he knew more about why they were here at
Adhara VII than she did.
“I can’t, Tremaine. It’s as simple
as that. I have a job to do here.”
“Do you, now? Part of the job
ramming your ship’s titanium nose up my fuel vents?”
She flashed him her best smile.
“Afraid to tap the braking thrusters, were you?”
“What did you hope to accomplish? A
star UFPA captain dropping into orbit and the first thing she does is break the
regs. I’m disappointed.”
“So deal with it. Your people made
the proper adjustment.”
“My people should not have been
required to do so.”
“I’ll instruct my flight crew to be
more precise in their measurements.”
Devin paused and looked her up and
down again. She clamped her teeth firmly together and struggled to remain
silent under his perusal.
“Well, Dunn. You know where to find
me should you reconsider that white flag.” He turned to leave, then stopped and
looked back at her. “Nice job getting here in four days. New engines?”
Corri looked at him and saw the
boyish interest in more speed, more power and having his toys be bigger and
better than the other kids.
“Oh yeah, Tremaine,” she replied
smoothly. “They’re amazing. Too bad you’ll never get a look at them.”
He flashed that ear-to-ear grin of
his, transforming his face. It made her flush warm with memories of him, of
them together. She pushed them away, knowing she couldn’t go back.
“Maybe before we pull out of here,
you’ll change your mind,” he said softly, a touch of Irish lilt in his voice.
“No. I won’t.” She turned and
headed down the hillside to her landing site and refused to look back.

Across Time is a great story, if I do say so myself. Actually, good reviews and a Recommended Read say it, so maybe I'm just seconding the motion. 
Welcome to my corner of the My Sexy Saturday blog hop! Thanks for stopping by. This morning I'm highlighting seven sexy paragraphs from the new release Money Back Guarantee. Enjoy!
I'm very pleased to have Money Back Guarantee back out in the world. This book has a long history. I always liked the way the story turned out. Obtaining the rights back to it now allows me to make it available as a stand-alone story. I hope you'll enjoy Money Back Guarantee. - Rayne Forrest
My honey and I enjoy early summer mornings and lazy summer
evenings on our patio. One thing we’ve discovered is that mosquitoes do not
like the smoke from incense. Our incense burner is a wine bottle, which looks
very cool as it “smokes”. Here’s what you do.
