Leslie and Sir James share the experience of losing a loved one. Will Leslie be the woman to break the curse? Or will she be just another victim.



TEASER / EXCERPT:

The next morning broke dank, dreary, and wet. Gone was the beautiful late-summer weather of the day before. And for the next three days, the rain made that day seem a dream.

Rose and Margaret kept themselves busy with their embroidery and knitting. Leslie, possessing neither of those skills, found the idle time frustrating. She was used to working. She never thought she would say it, but she missed the TV, she missed the Internet, she missed her phone. When had she become addicted to those things? Would she be able to get back to those things? Did she really want to get back to them? Her life in the future was not especially wonderful. She was lonely most of the time. Funny, she wasn’t lonely here. She felt like she was home here, like she belonged. She would be able to find something to do.

“Margaret, are there any books I could read?”

“There are books aplenty in James’s study. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind if you borrowed one.” Margaret never looked up from her embroidery.

“Thanks,” she said as she left the room.

The study doors were closed, so Leslie knocked lightly. “May I come in?” she asked and waited.

No answer.

She knocked again, and then opened the door slightly. She saw James lost in thought standing by the French doors across the room. He was handsome, and her heart fluttered like a schoolgirl at the thought. She knocked again. “I’m sorry to bother you, but Margaret said I might find a book in here.” She stepped inside the very masculine room. Dark wood panels covered the walls. Books filled the shelves on two of the walls. The heavy drapery, used to help keep the drafts down around the French doors, was pulled back allowing ample light into the room.

“There are books, and you’re welcome to look, but I was wondering…Do you play chess?”

He seemed to be holding his breath waiting for her reply. His expression told her he wanted her to say yes. There was a hint of desperation in his eyes that said he needed her to say yes. “Actually I do. Are you challenging me to a game? Please challenge me to a game. I will go out of my mind if I can’t find something to do soon.”

“Since you put it that way, we simply must play.” The muscles in his face relaxed. The slightest bit of a smile hinted at the corners of his mouth.

“I warn you, I’m good.” Her voice held both challenge and confidence.

“We shall see.” That slight smile now became a grin.

“Shit. I think you’re in love,” Joe said as he squeezed and then half-heartedly punched his friends shoulder.

“That’s not funny.”

“You’re telling me,” Joe agreed.

“No, I’m serious. I’ve never been affected by a woman like this. I can’t stop thinking about her. I keep reliving that night. She smelled so goddamn good. She tasted like…”

“You’ve got it bad.”

“I know. Now all I have to do is give it to her.”

BLURB:

The odds are against him, but Jerin will find a way! With or without the gene Kaley will be his…

On Setera, only one in four hundred thousand is born possessing the cryan gene—a gene essential to the survival of the Seteran race. Jerin and the others like him are duty bound to find the match to that gene somewhere in the universe, for it can no longer be found on Setera. With no clear instructions on how this task is to be accomplished it is a daunting undertaking, like finding a needle in a haystack.

Jerin’s assigned quadrant is Earth. After twelve years of searching he is beginning to lose hope, until the answer hits him over the head with a frying pan. Now all he has to do is convince this beautiful, feisty woman to follow him to another universe in a galaxy far far away.


TEASER / EXCERPT:

He should be insulted at her innuendo that he was inept at his job, but he wasn’t. She was a feisty little thing. Not so little he corrected himself. He longed to hold her to find out how well she fit next to his body. The women of Earth made him uneasy. When he touched them, he had to be mindful of their fragility. He had no doubt that Kaley was strong, her ability to wield that cast iron frying pan proved that. The thought of touching her, without fear of breaking her as he caressed her and became lost in passion, was intoxicating. He almost stepped forward to act on the desire.

He cleared his throat. “I am qualified,” he managed to say while in his mind’s eye he loosened her hair from its bonds.

She blushed as if the heat of his thoughts had touched her.

“In that case I will take my leave. Miss Sherwood, I trust you have our number? Don’t be afraid to use it should the need arise.”

The police officer gave Jerin a glance filled with warning and then made his way out of the door closing it behind him.

Minerva, the curator and caretaker of the museum meets the chosen mystic walker. Through the magic that has been entrusted to her, Minerva supplies them with the opportunity to change their lives.

TEASER / EXCERPT: 

“So, you weren’t ignoring me on purpose. I saw you looking my way a few times. I thought you might want to run. You will have to forgive me for thinking the worst. People usually avoid making contact with me. I think it’s my overly handsome face.”

His lips were smiling at his joke. He even chuckled, but his eyes conveyed the hurt he felt about the truth, and her heart ached for him.

Her lips formed a warm smile. “It is something to behold,” she said and winked.

She leaned forward and touched his hand.

It took a moment, but he laughed, and the sound of it warmed her heart. She had a feeling he didn’t laugh very much.

“Beautiful, gracious, and witty, I didn’t think the woman who married me would possess even one of those qualities.”

“I’m sorry to hear that. You seem to have a good sense of humor.”

“People rarely hang around long enough to discover that.”

“Well, I’m going to be around for a while.” She leaned back in her seat once again.

“Maybe not.”

“I will not dishonor my parents. We are married and will remain married for at least one year.”

“So you know about that clause in the arrangement. I thought you might.”

“I learned about it today. My parents would have supported me had I decided not to marry you, though.”

“I would have understood your refusal. I was expecting to be shackled to someone as ugly as I am. To my mind, that would be the only kind of woman who would make the commitment to someone who looks like me. I was resigned to that inevitability. You see, I too could refuse, but given my circumstances I would not even consider it.”

“What do you mean by, ‘my circumstances’?”

“You’re not going to like this.”

He lowered his eyes as if he were embarrassed.

“Let me be the judge of that. You seem to want to be honest with me. That means something, and it matters to me.”

“I hope so, but you’re not going to like it.” He looked at her intently and asked, “Are you a virgin?”

Her cheeks turned bright red. Now it was her turn to lower her eyes in embarrassment. In her exile, she’d tried to get close to a man because she’d been so lonely. The experience was not unpleasant, but it was not pleasant enough for her to try again when that relationship came to an end. With all the talk she’d heard about sexual pleasure, she’d expected more.

“I’d like our relationship to be based in honesty. Since you are being honest with me, I’ll be honest with you.”

She looked up into those beautiful eyes, eyes that she was beginning to fall in love with.

“I am not a virgin.”

He seemed surprised, but oddly pleased.

“Do you love him?”

His face reflected signs of worry.

“No, I probably never did. I was lonely, that’s all.”

“I would imagine you had all sorts of suitors. How could you possibly be lonely?” He sounded doubtful.

How could she explain this without lying to him, and without sounding like a madwoman?

“I was away from home for a few years. It was a strange land. I needed someone to share things with.”

She hoped that he wouldn’t realize that she wasn’t really old enough to have been away from home for a few years, especially away alone. He nodded and seemed satisfied. Maybe he understood needing someone to share things with.

“Good.”

He smiled at the shocked expression on her face.

“Virgins are difficult and needy. When you meet Arun, you will understand my relief.”

“Who is Arun? Isn’t that your middle name?”

“It is my middle name. Arun is my other half.”

“Your brother?”

“No, he is not my brother. He is the other half of me.”

It seemed like he wanted to say more. His lips moved, but no sound and no words escaped.

“He is part of you,” she said. It was a statement. She wanted to understand that that is what he wanted her to believe.

He nodded.

She frowned.

If that’s what he wanted, so be it. “Okay,” she said in a singsong tone that should have implied that she didn’t understand.

He smiled and appeared relieved.

“So…What is it that I’m not going to like?”

TEASER EXCERPT

“It’s been three weeks. I have to go back. There are things I need to take care of.”

“Like what?”

“Harold, be reasonable. I have some personal belongings that I want to get.” Shamika flipped the bacon that was sizzling in the frying pan. Its aroma filled the kitchen with a homey and appetizing scent. Her stomach growled.

“Are you talking about clothes? If your clothes are anything like what you were wearing when you arrived, you don’t need them.” He made a face that showed his distaste.

“Thanks for the vote of confidence regarding my fashion sense.” She elbowed him in the ribs. “For your information, those were my work clothes. I had to maintain a certain persona to live up to the expectations of my clients. Men expect the ‘working girl’ to look a certain way. It’s not my fault the other prostitutes have bad taste in clothing.”
