Meet Sexy Space Pilot Erok at #MySexySaturday

My Sexy Saturday bannerThis week’s theme is Do You Think I’m Sexy?, which means the old Rod Stewart song is thrumming in my head as I write this post. Well, Erok villain of Alliance: Fertile Ground and hero of Alliance: Galactic Affairs thinks he’s sexy and most women he meets agree. While writing the stories, I pictured Eric Dane, Mark Sloan aka Dr. McSteamy, of Grey’s Anatomy. Like the ultra-hot doctor, Erok is a tall, blond charmer, who has always been able to fast talk his way into many a bed. Unfortunately for him, the goddess Maradon has a way to stop his womanizing.

When Erok steals ancient artifacts from an archeological dig on the planet Zigan, the last thing he expects is to be cursed by an angry goddess with a mystical coin. Left stranded in space, fated to fall in love with the next woman he sees, he scoffs at the curse . . . until he comes face to face with his destiny.

Jahni, an agent with Mhajavi intelligence, is intrigued by the Ziganese pilot rescued by her crew. He stirs her desires as no man has ever done before, and she gives in to her passions. But when she realizes he has connections to the space raiders, she wonders what kind of man she has fallen for. Is he a common thief or a misguided rebel? Either way, he seems to be the one man who can help her solve an intergalactic crisis. But at what cost to her heart?

In this snippet, Erok meets Jahni, the first woman he’s seen since leaving Zigan in his now disabled space ship.

She withdrew her hand from his finally, but she didn’t step back. “You were lucky we answered your call. A disabled ship is easy prey for space raiders. You must have been worried.”

He shrugged one shoulder. The raiders were the least of his worries, but he could hardly say so. “One of the hazards of the job. I was glad to hear a friendly voice, though. It was getting lonely out here.”

Her lips curved into a smile, and he suppressed the urge to run his tongue along her full lower lip. He had to force himself to pay attention to her question.

“Isn’t loneliness another hazard of your job? Since you don’t seem to have a crew.”

“I don’t spend all my time in space, thank the gods. I like people too much.” He took a small step closer to her. “Let me revise that. I like women too much.”

Her mouth quirked. “I imagine you have quite a reputation on your home world.”

“You have no idea.” He reached out to touch her hair, soft and silky, then ran the back of his hand along her jaw. “I especially like Mhajavi women.”

Dream Student by J.J. DiBenedetto #RockingSummerRomance

SummerFour Fun Facts about “Dream Student”
One – the first draft of the book (before it was even called “Dream Student”) was written way back in 1997. It sat on my computer, untouched, for years, before I came back to it in 2012 and rewrote it from the first page.

Two – the main character, Sara Barnes, also ended up being a character in a near-future role-playing game (the first draft of the novel became her “backstory”). In the game, rather than simply having the ability to step into other people’s dreams, she ended up being a Changeling – the daughter of Fae parents, sent to Earth to be raised by unknowing human parents to avoid a curse.

Three – the college setting of Crewe University is a (very) thinly veiled version of my actual alma mater, Case Western Reserve University. And several of the “background extras” in Sara’s dorm are drawn from people I knew, with the names changed to protect the innocent.

Four – There are extensively detailed notes about the book that never made it into the final version of the story. I know who lived in every room on Sara’s floor, every class she took for all four years of college, her family tree going back six generations, and more…

Dream Student coverAbout the Dream Series

What if you could see everyone else’s dreams? That’s the question Sara has to wrestle with in the Dream Series. We first meet her as a shy, bookish college student who doesn’t think there’s anything extraordinary about herself. And then the dreams start…

Over the course of the series, Sara learns to live with these supernatural dreams and all the trouble they plunge her into. At the same time, she grows from a student to a practicing doctor; and from a single girl to a wife and mother. But every time she thinks she’s got everything figured out, life – and her extraordinary dreams – teach her that she’s always got more to learn…

Blurb for Dream Student (book 1 in the Dream Series)

What if you could see everyone else’s dreams?

College junior Sara Barnes thought her life was under control. Her biggest worries were her upcoming final exams, applying to medical school, Christmas shopping and what to do about the cute freshman in the next dorm who’s got a crush on her. Until the dreams started…

Now she’s learning more than she ever wanted to know about everyone around her. Watching the hidden fantasies and seeing the deepest secrets of her friends and classmates is bad enough. But much worse are the recurring dreams of a strange, terrifying man… dreams that could cost Sara her sanity… or get her killed.

Dream Student is the first book of the Dream Series.
