A Cosmic Scandal #MySexySaturday #MSS87

My Sexy Saturday bannerThis week’s theme for My Sexy Saturday is Are You Sexy… ” those characters who are sexy yet very comfortable about it. They’re comfortable about being in their own skin, being the best at something, heck, they’re comfortable on almost everything. But there is one thing they haven’t quite mastered: love.”

This week’s snippet comes from the first chapter of my erotic science fiction novella, Alliance: Cosmic Scandal. Prince Myrek is too worried about his son’s health to be aware of the excitement the presence of the handsome prince has stirred up on Planet Mhajav. And Dr. Khira, a child prodigy and still a virgin, is unaware of her own sex appeal. But all of that is about to change.

“But I’m not looking for a bride at the moment.”

The warmth of his gaze sent a jolt of awareness through her, making her heart pound. If he wanted a lover, he’d come to the right place. Too bad she was the only woman in Mahdesh City unable to accommodate him.

She stood. “I won’t keep you any longer, Ambassador.”

“Call me Myrek,” he said, rising to his feet.

“But you’re a prince.”

“I’m also a man.”

She saw the hunger in his gaze, felt the sensual awareness that seemed to hum between them, and damned herself for the insane promise she’d made to her parents.

Description

Harmony Duprie is back, and so is trouble in Oak Grove.

When a man is murdered in the back yard of the old Victorian house she is remodeling, Harmony is determined to help locate his next-of-kin so he can be put to rest properly. But with her ex-boyfriend Jake out of prison, back in town and one of the suspects in the murder, she takes on the challenge of solving the crime.

With Eli, her current love interest, in Florida and Jake close by, old emotions come back to haunt her. Can Harmony clear Jake’s name and solve the mystery of her own heart?

Although each book in the series is a complete story (no cliffhanger endings) the books should be read in order.

The Marquesa’s Necklace, the first book in the Oak Grove series, is available at major e-book retailers.

Excerpt:

The first thing I noticed when walking into my apartment was the afghan I kept on the back of the recliner. It was on the floor and hadn’t been like that when I left. “So who’s been sitting in my chair?” I asked. “Eli?” I called hopefully to no response.

Then I noticed the dirty dishes in my kitchen sink. “So who’s been eating my porridge?” I whispered to myself. Surely a thief wouldn’t have stopped to make himself a sandwich.

I tip-toed down the hallway, holding my breath. The bathroom was empty, but my bedroom door was partially closed. I carefully pushed it open and peeked inside. A familiar head nestled on my pillow. “So that’s who’s been sleeping in my bed.”
