A.K. Shelley
Publication date: August 26th 2019
Genres: Erotica, Romance, Science Fiction

Blurb:

When Martian Air Science Engineer Cass Hedley takes a dare to use her new Artificial Intelligence system for a night of erotic release, there’s only one man she can imagine spending time with—the legendary comic book hero Star Knight Errant. She imagines strong hands, hard abs, and bubble baths, but her black market AI has another idea—an illegal fight club that will only end in her sexy companion’s death…or hers.

When Evander Mór transports to an unknown desert planet, his mission changes. Instead of brokering a peace deal, he’ll figure out what backwater he’s landed on and enjoy a well-earned weekend off with a gorgeous scientist. But when things get hotter than a supernova between them, he discovers he only has eighteen hours to stop an AI bent on murder, convince Cass he’s more than fiction, and find a way to cross the gulf between galaxies to bring her home.

EXCERPT:

“Is that your name—Cassandra?” A velvety male voice echoed across the great room.

Cass’s stomach fell. She turned.

Star Knight Errant leaned back against a doorframe with his arms crossed and one knee kicked up. Not the actor who played him in the movies, but one appearing closer to the comic book hero—crackled mahogany leather pants, soft gray cotton tee, and muscles from his shoulders all the way down. His steady green eyes looked right into her deepest thoughts. Heat flooded her face. He lifted an eyebrow, his gaze falling to her only-at-home-alone ensemble—a threadbare but-too-comfy-to-throw-away tank top, sans bra, and too-short-for-public shorts.

“It’s just Cass.” She inched spare fabric down her thigh, bit her lip, and tasted mud. Oh, Gods. She glanced at her brick-red arms. She’d forgotten about the mask.

Star Knight strode over to her, crossing the great room in shockingly few steps. Holy Sol, he looked so real. It was amazing what the cloning machines could do—create flesh and bone without a hint of the android brain within. This replicant was the most stunning, gorgeous man she’d ever seen. She forced herself to remember to breathe.
“I’m Evan.”

“I know.” Tongue dry and breath gone, the words barely escaped her mouth. She swallowed. More precisely, this was Evander Mór of Exeter, a fictional planet created by comic-book visionary Mark Hopewell.

Evan smiled, more than a little swagger in his step. He looked around the room. “You’re a vision, darling, but I’m afraid this isn’t Station Alpha, where I intended to turn up.” He squinted out the windows to the exemplary view of the red planet beyond. “Where…is this?”

Cass lost all words. Star Knight Errant in the flesh stood close enough to touch her. His spice and musk pulled her like a neutron star.

Excerpt from Besotted:

Regan was just too damn alluring in that dress for him to accept that he couldn’t have her if he wanted her.

He was an idiot. He should have told her years ago. He should have told everyone. Despite the tongue-lashing he was silently giving himself, Tyler was certainly no fool. “The professor” to his friends, he was generally serious and professional. He had the smarts necessary to obtain both an MBA and a law degree, and he was now CEO of LHRE and on hiatus from one of the fastest growing tech companies in the country. He kept his cool in general, but again and again he behaved like an idiot around Regan.

Since that damn frog almost thirty years ago, he had loved no one but Regan. Sometimes they made it work together, like in high school, but most times not. His feelings were unchanged, but something always stopped him from declaring his love and asking her to do the same. This time it was something insurmountable.

And yet Tyler couldn’t stay away. He was the proverbial moth to the flame, flirting with disaster every time he flirted with her. He had promised to stay away, to keep her safe, but the attraction was undeniable. Yep, prize idiot.

Returning to the ballroom after the latest threats, Tyler briefly considered sharing the conversation, coming clean with Regan and perhaps moving their relationship forward. He was at a fork in the road but remained silent, Tyler knew he was on the wrong path but couldn’t summon the will to fix it. Not only were his problems unsolvable, but she was involved with Brandon. Tyler felt hopeless.

He was preoccupied just as Regan accused, but Tyler tried to give Regan the attention she deserved. He failed miserably until Regan suggested they just leave. That got his attention. Who knew when he would hold her in his arms again.

“Come dance with me again. It would be a crime to waste that dress.”

Encircling Regan in his arms, his body responded to her nearness, even as his mind worried over the earlier texts. He was unaware of his hand stroking her back, fingers lightly skimming over her bare skin. He wasn’t thinking clearly when he pulled her close or when he dropped kisses on her hair. He wasn’t paying attention, just acting on instinct, Regan was responding, her breath growing uneven, her hands clinging to his shoulders.
