Six Sentence Sunday #38: 07/10/11 – Frey from 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 and other ebook retailers.

Last week I gave you a cliffhanger. Want to know what Frey looks like?

He smiled, some of his confidence back while his human image flickered for a few seconds before completely disappearing. Unsure what to expect, she tried not to judge until she'd set eyes on his entire figure. Long, spindly fingers intertwined with hers. He tried to let go, but she held them tight. His body appeared taller and leaner than before. She saw the same black eyes, a less prominent nose and barely visible ears.

I cut this off at six sentences, but there is more to this description, including his nether region, but you'll have to read the story for the rest.

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.

If you get a chance, fantasy author Lorna Suzuki is interviewing me on her blog today.

Just so you all know, I won't be participating next weekend as my hubby and I will be celebrating our one-year wedding anniversary. (Although we've been together for much longer.) Have fun! I know I will.
