#8Sunday: Leave while you can ~ Excerpt from BEYOND REACH #scifirom #romance
Welcome to another Weekend Writing Warriors post!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of my fellow Canadians! Today I’m sharing another snippet from BEYOND REACH, which released on Monday. It’s had a great ride so far on the All Romance Bestseller list. As I mentioned, I will not share the more sensual snippets for Weekend Writing Warriors, so I’ve skipped the beginning where Mekai and Nixie are getting to know each other.
Set-up: In last week’s snippet, Nixie found out the woman who raised her had been killed. Mekai has offered to take her away from the planet, but she needs a little convincing from the man who helped raise her, whether or not it’s what she wants to hear.
Garesh clasped her shoulders. “I am not your father, and with Cyresse gone, we are no longer family.”
Nixie stopped breathing, shocked by the man’s words. “What are you talking about? How can you say that?”
“Nixie, you walked out on a client. Therefore, you probably do not have a job to go back to. And with Cyresse gone, you no longer have a home.” He spun her around to face the door. “Leave; get off the planet while you have the opportunity.”
BEYOND REACH
Abandoned by her parents…
Born on Earth, Nixie was left on the planet Schedar when her parents returned home. Growing up on the pleasure planet, she follows in the footsteps of the woman who raised her, and learns the art of erotic massage. But Nixie yearns for a different life, one where she receives as much pleasure as she gives.
A runaway prince…
In an attempt to escape his arranged marriage, Prince Mekai flees to Schedar. For, he could never love his betrothed when he already loves another, a fantasy woman who invades his dreams every night. When the woman he seeks carnal pleasure from turns out to be the same one in his fantasies, he believes fate brought them together.
Fated lovers or forever enemies?
Just when Nixie and Mekai believe they have a chance at happiness with each other, they find out why their races are at war, and why they can never be together.

Sexy Alien in Period Costume in INTERGALACTIC HEAT #MySexySaturday #sfr #romance #99cents
Hello and welcome to the 162nd week of My Sexy Saturday.
Here are the details: every Saturday, published and unpublished authors will be sharing 7 words, sentences, or paragraphs from a work-in-progress or an already published story.
Today’s theme is…
SEXY IN HISTORY
Here’s seven from SATIN SHEETS IN SPACE, which is part of INTERGALACTIC HEAT, only 99¢ for the month of October. Enjoy!
Set-up: I don’t have any historical romances, but the hero and heroine need to dress up for a ball in Satin Sheets in Space. Here’s an excerpt of the hero (an alien) trying to find something to wear.
Galan drummed his fingers against the counter. He hadn’t expected to have such a hard time finding eighteenth century dress, specifically a knee-length justacorps-style coat and breeches. It wasn’t that he couldn’t find any, but none of the costume shops he’d visited had anything in his size. His thighs prevented him from wearing most pants, and the width of his back caused coat after coat to rip in the seams. Did they grow them that small here?
At last, he’d found the perfect costume for the ball at a quaint boutique named Connie’s Couture. The elegant black outfit, with red silk shirt and stockings, seemed to have been tailored for him, although he’d never been to this area during his travels.
Connie remained in the back, completing some last minute adjustments to his clothing, while he ran through his mental list of everything he needed to purchase before he met his date. Flowers, breath mints…what else?
A hotel room waited for them at the Castillo Hotel, where the ball would take place, but he planned to take his date elsewhere, if she agreed. Traveling as much as he did, he grew lonely and wanted someone to share the wondrous places he often visited. His brother as his companion wasn’t enough. No, he wanted a woman to settle down with rather than finding a new source of temporary satisfaction at every port.
During his last stopover, he’d avoided all his and Volan’s usual haunts, instead spending his evenings on the beaches of Somnium, contemplating his life. And his next voyage. A friend of a friend had recommended the 1Night Stand dating service he’d heard about on Earth. Still, he’d had reservations. He wasn’t like any of the men he’d met around the Terran city of Las Vegas. But he’d filled out the forms, and learned yesterday about his date.
His life had been a scramble since, with no time to inform his brother of his plans. What would Volan think of the arrangement? He’d been quite happy with a variety of women, and never hinted at the need to settle down. Would his brother be respectful of his change in lifestyle? Didn’t matter. He’d already made his decision, so long as his date went well. He needed something different. Maybe his conversion would influence Volan to commit to one woman.
“All set, Mr. Galan.” Connie rushed from the back room, a black polyester bag across her arm. “I hope you have a wonderful time at the ball tonight and charm the lucky woman you’re going to meet.”

It’s release day for BEYOND REACH! #99cents #bestseller #scifirom
Hello everyone! I’m excited to announce that today is not only my birthday, but it’s also release day for BEYOND REACH, a sensual sci-fi romance. This past weekend, I received an early birthday present from All Romance eBooks. First, they put Beyond Reach in their Deals and Steals newsletter. (It’s on sale for 99¢ until Sept. 9, 2016) Then, I received an email from them Sunday telling me Beyond Reach was on their bestseller list. How exciting when it hadn’t even released then. A huge thank you to All Romance and everyone who helped it reach bestseller status!!
And now, about the book…
BEYOND REACHby Jessica E. Subject
Abandoned by her parents…
Born on Earth, Nixie was left on the planet Schedar when her parents returned home. Growing up on the pleasure planet, she follows in the footsteps of the woman who raised her, and learns the art of erotic massage. But Nixie yearns for a different life, one where she receives as much pleasure as she gives.
A runaway prince…
In an attempt to escape his arranged marriage, Prince Mekai flees to Schedar. For, he could never love his betrothed when he already loves another, a fantasy woman who invades his dreams every night. When the woman he seeks carnal pleasure from turns out to be the same one in his fantasies, he believes fate brought them together.
Fated lovers or forever enemies?
Just when Nixie and Mekai believe they have a chance at happiness with each other, they find out why their races are at war, and why they can never be together.
Please note: Beyond Reach was previously published with another publisher. It has been revised into a darker story than the original, and expanded to give the hero and heroine a harder, but much more satisfying happily ever after.

Walking into the silky rear-end of an uidiss, she came to an abrupt halt. The creature had been walking at a steady pace and then stopped. She’d failed to notice in time. Wiping fluff off her face, she turned around and walked into another hard body. “I’m so sorry.”
Hands clamped down on her arms. “Are you all right?”
She stared up into deep brown eyes. Chewing her bottom lip, she nodded. If this man hadn’t been holding on to her, she would have fallen to the ground. The word swoon held no meaning for her until now.
Am I only like this because of the ipsum I inhaled back home? Or was there something more she found heart-racing about the blue-skinned, well-muscled hunk of an Ubetron who held her up?
No, she couldn’t feel anything for him. Their races had been sworn enemies for years. Everyone across the galaxy knew that. Yet here she was, standing face to face, gazing intently at him, with no will to move.
He smiled at her, drawing her attention from his eyes to his lips. How would they taste? She’d never kissed anyone intimately before.
“You look familiar. What’s your name?”
Name? Gods, what was her name? “Ni…Nixie.” Had she told him, or only thought the word?
He released her arms to brush his fingers along her jaw line. How she remained standing, she had no idea.
“Nixie. A beautiful name belonging to a beautiful woman. Have we met before?”
Moisture pooled between her thighs. Her cheeks warmed. “Thank you, but no.” She’d definitely remember meeting him.
As he trailed a hand down her arm, she sighed. Her entire body tingled from his gentle touch.
“Okay, weird. You must remind me of someone else. Now tell me, why were you in such a rush that you walked into the rear end of that slow-moving beast? We’re supposed to be on vacation, enjoying all this planet has to offer.”
Laughing at his description of the uidiss, she leaned against his arm. Never before had she enjoyed a man’s attention like this. “I’m not visiting. I live here. Have my whole life.”
He raised his eyebrows. “Really? So, what was it like growing up on the pleasure planet?”
DON’T FORGET!

#8Sunday: She lost so much blood ~ Excerpt from BEYOND REACH #scifirom #romance
Welcome to another Weekend Writing Warriors post!
Today I’m sharing another snippet from BEYOND REACH, which releases Monday. As I mentioned last week, I will not share the more sensual snippets for Weekend Writing Warriors. If you want to reach those, check out my Saturday posts.
Set-up: Skipping past all the sensual scenes at the beginning, Nixie learns something bad has happened to the woman who raised her on Schedar. Not all is well on the pleasure planet…
Altix = nurse practioner
Suavita = those trained in the pleasure arts
Altrix rushed through the halls, traveling from patient to patient. In the waiting room sat Suavitas, soothing those worried about patients.
“Are you Nixie?”
She spun toward the firm, female voice. “I am.”
“My condolences to you.” The woman in blue scrubs placed a hand on her shoulder.
Nixie gasped. “What do you mean, what happened?”
“She lost so much blood.”

My Sexy Soul Mate in BEYOND REACH #MySexySaturday #sfr #romance #99cents
Hello and welcome to the 161st week of My Sexy Saturday.
Here are the details: every Saturday, published and unpublished authors will be sharing 7 words, sentences, or paragraphs from a work-in-progress or an already published story.
Today’s theme is…
MY SEXY SOUL MATE
Here’s seven from BEYOND REACH, which releases Monday. Enjoy!
Set-up: This snippet follows last week’s. Mekai has plotted to get out of his arranged marriage, not just because he doesn’t care for Madelia, but also because of his unknown fantasy woman, possibly his sexy soul mate.
“Oh, Mekai, I’m so glad you decided to deflower me before our wedding night. Take me this instant.”
Don’t fail me now, Ben.
“No, Madelia. It’s me, Ben. Don’t worry. No one will know.”
“Oh, even better. Will Mekai be joining us?”
A threesome? Oh, gods. Could he get any harder? He and Ben often discussed sex, what their first time would be like, and whom they wanted to lose their virginity to. He’d had plenty of offers from fair maidens, those he could never have any affection for. Not with the strange woman invading his dreams every night. A woman he cherished and had made love to in the fantasia world for as long as he knew the definition of sex. Though, he had yet to meet her, and never would if he didn’t leave Carbae.
Ben, though, had always been fond of Madelia. She had never shown any interest in him before tonight, but Mekai, betrothed or not, refused to betray his best friend.
He’d plotted this night ever since his wedding date had been set, for no matter how hard he tried, he could never care for Madelia. Watching his parents pretend to love each other over the years had been enough for him. No way in Tenebrae did he want the same kind of relationship for himself. And then, he’d heard rumors from the bajulus who brought supplies to the kingdom about a planet in the Wopavian system where visitors paid to receive sexual pleasure from the revered Suavitas. That was where he planned to travel. He wanted to experience every sensation before he settled down with anyone. And maybe, if he proved lucky, he could forget about the fantasy woman. Once his marriage was called off, he planned to sneak away from Carbae and get busy living.

After a dangerous rescue, on the edge of pack territory, Seth and Rogue take a woman on the brink of death back to the pack. Her identity and why she was brutalized is a mystery. The pieces soon fit together and the realization this assault was no coincidence. The Black Hills Wolves pack faces a bigger threat than they could even imagine. The trio soon find themselves on a tumultuous journey of life and death, and relentless lust.
