Will she find her soul mate? ALIEN ATTRACTION Sneak Peek #scifi #romance

ALIEN ATTRACTION,  the third book in my ALIEN NEXT DOOR series releases November 9th. Here is a sneak peek from the first chapter. Another will be posted tomorrow. Plus, don’t forget the first book in the series is FREE, and the second book is 99¢ through November 9th. Enjoy!

Chapter One

Soul mate. The one person Angela would marry, spend the rest of her life with. Did she have one somewhere on this planet, or was she destined to spend the rest of her life alone?

Holding the crystal orb passed down to her by her father over a year earlier, she willed it to give her a sign, flash red or blue. Or any other color for all she cared. The extraterrestrial sphere hadn’t provided any guidance in her life decisions as it had her father and brother, hadn’t shared its thoughts on the two guys she’d dated since moving to the city, not even whether she should stay there. Had the battery died? Or was she too human to make it work? Her brother Adam, had told her to be thankful she shared little of the extraterrestrial DNA, that her life would be easier. Instead, she didn’t fit in. Anywhere.

The last few years had been brutal as she waited to locate her one true love, especially after Adam had married Sera. Angela had given up on all the guys she’d gone to high school with, none of them interested in anything other than drinking and one-night stands. Moving far from home had been the best decision she’d made in her life, but hadn’t brought her any closer to finding love.

Tempted to slam the orb on the floor and smash it to pieces, she instead tucked it into a nest of tissue paper inside a cardboard box. Next time she drove the four-hour trip to visit her family, she would return it to her father and give up on the idea of celestial intervention. After fitting the lid on top, she shoved the box into the rear of her bedroom closet. No point in leaving it out for another year to collect dust.

With a sigh, she plodded over to the bay view window in the main room of her tiny apartment, the only saving grace to being on the fifteenth floor. She picked up her plum-colored pillow and plopped onto the matching foam seat. Glancing across the city, she gazed at the setting sun, the end of another day on her own. Growing up, she’d never imagined living so far from her parents, in a city full of concrete, steel, glass, and people. So many people. Yet, she failed to make a connection with very many of them, save for the sweet old lady next door who had passed away from a heart attack a month earlier. Angela didn’t regret her decision to move though, not when the friends she’d grown up with were alcoholics, or in prison for dealing drugs.

Knock, knock.

She jumped. Except for her former neighbor, no one visited her. Plus, the building had a controlled entrance, so anyone who did decide to pop over had to call up first.

The sound came again. She rushed to the entrance, curious as to who stood on the other side. No one at work had mentioned stopping by. Heck, she was lucky if her co-workers remembered her name for an entire day.

Peeking through the peephole, she gasped. A guy. And a damn hot one from what she could tell through the tiny hole. Shoulder-length brown hair, a prominent nose, and radiant green eyes. Though his scowl left her wanting to sneak away from the entrance and pretend she wasn’t at home.

When he raised his fist to knock again, a burst of courage swept through her. She yanked the door open before he made contact. “Can I help you?”

He jumped, his scowl momentarily gone. “You’re Angela Jones?”

“Yes….” How did he know her name when she’d never met him before? Usually it was the other way around. People knew her face, but couldn’t get her name right if their lives depended on it.

The stranger held out a couple of envelopes. “I believe this is your mail. Seems the postal carrier put them in my box instead of yours.”

She took them from him. “Thank you.” Maybe it was a good thing the mail lady kept mixing up Angela’s box in the lobby with the one next to hers. That was how she’d ended up meeting sweet Mrs. Kersley, her neighbor before the handsome man in front of her had moved in. She could get to know him better. “You…. You’re new here, right? Would you like to come in for coffee?”

“No.” He furrowed his brows, looking even more disgusted than he had through the peephole. “See that this mix up doesn’t happen again. I don’t want this to be a daily trip. I have better things to do.”

What an asshole! Like she had any control over which slot her mail ended up in. As he turned away, she slammed the door behind him. The mail snafu had happened for as long as she’d lived there. Mrs. Kersley hadn’t minded bringing the misdirected letters and packages to her. She would often make extra food and invite her for dinner when the older woman did stop by. Angela doubted the same would ever happen with Mr. Too Busy. Time to get the computer out and switch everything to e-billing with the hopes of never running into him again.

With a huff, she headed back to the window. Lights flickered to her left. She spun toward her bedroom, where blue and red beams danced across her walls and ceiling. What the hell?

A few cautious steps and she reached the entrance. Peeking inside, she searched for the source of the luminescence. Inside her closet, the box she’d tucked in the back corner less than an hour earlier, lay on its side, with the orb in the middle of the floor, lighting up her bedroom like a disco ball. What had caused it to fall over? And why was it flashing two colors? According to her father and Adam, it pulsed with lights of red or blue, not both. Knowing Angela’s luck, the orb had little life remaining, giving one last show before it finally died.

Shaking her head, she picked up the extraterrestrial object, not at all surprised it stopped flashing with her touch. Why would it start working for her after so many years anyway? Stupid ball. She tossed it in the box and used her foot to shove it to the far corner of her closet. Time to face the fact she lived alone in the big city, with no help from anyone or anything. And when her work contract expired in a few weeks, she would consider moving elsewhere rather than sign a new offer of employment. Because she had no chance of stumbling upon her soul mate here, not when people chose to ignore her rather than invite her to group events. Didn’t seem to matter she carried more human DNA than Adam.

Confessions of the Alien Kind #MidWeekTease from ALIEN ADMIRER #scifirom #99cents

Happy Wednesday! It’s time for my Mid Week Tease post! Mid Week Tease is an author meme started and hosted by author Sandra Bunino, where authors share snippets from their recent releases, back list titles, and works-in-progress (WIPs). So, please check out my tease and visit the other participating authors listed below.

For today’s post, I’m sharing an excerpt from  ALIEN ADMIRER. It is the second book in the Alien Next Door series, and is only 99¢ at select retailers until ALIEN ATTRACTION releases November 9th.

In this excerpt, Sera and Adam have confessed their love for each other after dating for a couple of months. But, Adam is younger, and Sera is unsure if they are moving too fast for him. Enjoy!

Leaning away, she gave him a pained look. “Do you think we’re moving too fast? Do you need your space?”

He reached for her hand, clasping it in his. “No, not at all. If I have a problem, I’ll be sure to talk to you about it. Now, do you need your space? Am I over here too often?”

“No.” She squeezed his fingers. “I really enjoy having you here. It feels so right. But, I do have one question for you.”

“Go for it.”

“Why is it that when I’m down or mad, or even really happy, you always seem to know? Today, I was thinking how much I love you, and you looked over from the line and smiled. And just now, you knew I was mad, wouldn’t leave me alone about it.”

“Because you wear your emotions on your face.” He didn’t want to reveal the truth too early.

“You couldn’t have been able to tell from that far away. You’re more perceptive than my friends, more than Rob ever was.”

Adam gulped. She needed to drop the subject. He never wanted to be compared to her late husband, and it wasn’t the time for confessions of the extraterrestrial kind. “You’re exaggerating.”

“And you’re deflecting. C’mon, Adam. What’s your secret?”

His secret. A huge one. Had the time come to confess? Tell the truth?

Sera lifted off her shirt and snapped open her bra, exposing her full, creamy breasts. “I’ll let you play if you tell me your secret.”

Torture. Adam groaned, his cock hardening.

Shit. Eventually, he’d tell her, right? Why not now?

Capturing her breast in his hand, he licked a pert nipple. “I’m an alien and you’re my soul mate.”

With a laugh, she shoved his chest. “Liar.”

“Sorry, you’re right…I’m only half-alien. My mother is from this planet. It’s my father who’s from Space.” He pulled her onto his lap, not wanting to give her any time to think about what he’d just said. Sucking the other rosy nipple into his mouth, he rolled his tongue around the hard peak, longing to do the same to her clit.

“Prove it.”

~ ALIEN ADMIRER ~

He fills her with forbidden longing…

Widowed for over a year, Sera longs for the company of her younger, sexier neighbor, the one man she can never have—unless she plans to rob the cradle. It’s too dangerous…

She’s the only one for him…

Adam never wanted to settle down…until Sera. But even when her children give him the green light, he must prove age is an alien concept…

Will Sera give him a chance, or will Adam be left in the cold, never more than her alien admirer?

She needs to get laid! #MySexySaturday from LAST MINUTE CUSTOMERS #Halloween #FREEread

Hello and welcome to the 116th 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…

OUR SEXY HALLOWEEN

Here’s seven from LAST MINUTE CUSTOMERS,  a FREE sexy Halloween ménage story I wrote a couple years ago. Enjoy!

Set-up: Mandy is getting ready to close up her costume shop when two sexy last minute customers walk in…

“I’m sure I can help you find what you’re looking for. And I’ll give you fifty percent off.” Shit, that sounded desperate for a sale. Really, she wanted to keep them in the store a little bit longer. They would make excellent heroes in her future fantasies.

Zane chuckled. “Sure, let’s see what you’ve got. My brother and I are going to a sci-fi themed party. Do you have anything that falls under that description?”

Brothers? Could have fooled her. But she wasn’t about to argue. And they were into sci-fi, like her. “Sure. We have your movie costumes. Star Wars, Star Trek, Avatar….”

He shook his head. “I don’t know. What do you think, Blaze?”

“Those have been done,” the other brother said. “Anything else?”

She gave them a quick glance over to gauge their sizes. Her cheeks warmed as she caught sight of the bulge in Zane’s pants. A wave of desire swept over her. She inhaled deeply. They were only customers and hadn’t given any indication they wanted more than costumes.

It had been so long since she’d even seen a man’s cock, dedicating all of her time to the store. She needed to get out and live again. She needed to get laid.

~ About LAST MINUTE CUSTOMERS ~

After a long day of helping her customers find the perfect costumes for parties and trick-or-treating, Mandy is ready to close up shop. She just wants to crash on her bed for a few hours before she has to get her party supply store ready for the next holiday. But two sexy last minute customers keep her from locking the door, and she helps them find the perfect outfits. Little does Mandy realize these men want more than just what her shop offers. They want her.

Erotic dreams fill her with need…

Night after night, Rachel fantasizes about her sexy, playboy neighbor. But in her small town, no one changes, least of all the bad boy next door. But when Luke rescues her not once but twice from disastrous dates, she dares to believe her knight in black leather armor may be the right man for her after all.

Until she learns the truth…

Life on Earth has never been easy for Luke. Stranded as a little boy, he struggled to craft an existence for himself, but he never forgot the first human he met–and he never stopped wanting to see her again. Returning to Hanton, Luke longs for Rachel. Yet nothing goes as he plans, and Rachel barely notices him.  Convincing her he isn’t like all the jerks she’s dated means telling her the truth, but can she handle it?

Can she overcome her fears, or will she deny her alien adoration and leave him stranded once more?

Saved by her Sexy Neighbor #MidWeekTease from ALIEN ADORATION #FREEread

Happy Wednesday! It’s time for my Mid Week Tease post! Mid Week Tease is an author meme started and hosted by author Sandra Bunino, where authors share snippets from their recent releases, back list titles, and works-in-progress (WIPs). So, please check out my tease and visit the other participating authors listed below.

For today’s post, I’m sharing an excerpt from  ALIEN ADORATION. It is the first book in the Alien Next Door series, and is FREE at select retailers until ALIEN ATTRACTION releases November 9th.

In this excerpt, one of the ladies in the small town Rachel lives in is trying to set her up once again. Rachel has no idea how to get out of it, but the neighbor she’s adored from afar comes to her rescue. Enjoy!

 

“Listen, there’s a dance over in Allentown on Friday night. Always a bevy of single men there. I want you to come with me, and you can pick your own fella.”

God, no. Like she wanted to be eyed-up and groped by a bunch of middle-aged and old men. “I, uh… I have other plans.”

“Is that right? What are they?”

She bounced her foot. How was she going to get out of this?

Christine leaned over the cubicle wall and stared at her with an evil smirk. “Yeah, what are your plans?”

Traitor.

She drummed her fingers on her desk. Why couldn’t she be quicker on her feet?

“Well?” Mrs. Norris asked.

“She’s having dinner with me.”

Rachel gasped. Had she heard his voice, or just imagined it?

Luke stepped past the old bat, and into her office. “Good morning, Rachel. I’m sorry I missed you at the coffee shop this morning.” He nodded to the other women listening. “Mrs. Norris, Miss Shaw. Would you mind if I have a few moments alone with this beautiful young woman?”

Christine ducked away immediately, and Rachel swore she heard her friend squee. Mrs. Norris, on the other hand, gave him a ferocious glare. “I’ve heard about you. You’re no good for her.”

Tension blanketed her small cubicle, but Luke grinned back at the old woman. “I believe Rachel can make her own decisions.”

With one last glare, Mrs. Norris huffed off.

Alone with him in her office, she froze, unable to form a coherent thought. After a deep breath, her heart jumped back to life, pumping faster than ever. Luke Jones had more or less invited her to dinner Friday night.
