Six Sentence Sunday #37: 07/03/11 – Celestial Seduction

Thank you to everyone who keeps coming back to read and comment on my excerpts every week.

This excerpt comes from my recent release, Celestial Seduction available from Decadent Publishing.

In this scene, Carrie has learned that Frey is an alien, but she's only seen the human image he wears on Earth.

Lifting one hand up, she gently placed it on the side of his face. "Will you show me what you really look like? I can see your real eyes, but I want to see the rest."

"You won't run away?" She winced seeing all of the confidence he'd had at the beginning of the night gone, but it made her trust him even more. "Whatever you do, please don't scream."

Blurb:

At the end of his obligated commitment to the Space Service, Frey Berger decides to stay on Earth to further experience human emotions rather than return to Ginnun where his intended has already mated with another. Looking for real love and someone to accept him for what he is, Frey enlists in Madame Evangeline's popular dating service. Although he does not understand the concept of a one-night stand, he hopes to find his perfect mate.

Carrie Cooper's husband divorced her for someone who could provide him with children, leaving her with little self-confidence and no desire to let a man hurt her again. Her best friend convinces her to join a dating service, claiming Carrie needs to get laid, while not winding up with a broken heart since her date requires no commitment after the night is over.

Although several misunderstandings nearly derail them before the date has even begun, Carrie and Frey end up becoming closer than they ever believed possible. Still, Frey will need to convince Carrie that her perfect mate isn't human at all, and that one night can lead to a forever love.
