She’s an alien! #MidWeekTease from ALIEN ATTRACTION #newrelease #scifirom
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.
Before getting on with the tease, I wanted to take a moment and remember the soldiers who fought and fight for our freedom.
For today’s post, I’m sharing an excerpt from ALIEN ATTRACTION. It is the third book in the Alien Next Door series, and released this past Monday.
In this excerpt, Chal has returned to his ship after his date with Angela was interrupted by an alien artifact. He is with his brother, Slade, trying to figure out why she would have it. Enjoy!
Slade chewed on a sprig of some plant grown in the ship’s greenhouse. “There’s got to be something I’m missing.”
Chal took another look, watching Angela hug those around her. When she reached the older male, she paused a little longer before he passed the indicator to her. She seemed reluctant to accept it from him. But when she did, she tossed it in the trunk of her vehicle.
Slade jumped off his seat, flinging the hover chair across the room. “That’s it! The eyes.”
“What do you mean?” He leaned in closer. “Her eyes look the same as any Terran.”
“Not hers, dumbass. Her father’s.”
Switching his focus didn’t help. Chal couldn’t understand what the man’s eyes revealed. “I still don’t see.”
“Gods, with how observant you are, maybe I should have been the one to go to Earth.” Slade pointed to the older man’s eyes. “Watch closely. Don’t blink or you’ll miss it.”
Chal stared, waiting for some revelation. And then he saw it. “They’re black. That means…. No way. They all died.”
“Obviously not.” Slade slapped him on the back. “Guessing that man’s age, I would say he was a young child when his kind perished. Somehow, he got off the ship before the illness spread through.”
“And Angela….” His mind fumbled over itself trying to process the news.
“Your girlfriend is a Lisivian, or at least half. And that means you’re going back to Earth.”
Chal’s heart raced. “But you said—”
“I know, but that was before I realized who we were dealing with.” Slade guided him to the single-person transporter in the corner. “You need to learn more. Get close to her and her family. Find out how he’s survived among the Terrans for so long. And if he can help us. That information will surely convince Gille and the council to move ahead in our plans to migrate to Earth.”
If what Slade believed was true, sure. But that meant returning to Angela, experiencing their strange bond, then leaving her again to help his people.
~ ALIEN ATTRACTION ~
She wants to be more alien.
He wants to be more human.
Born a galaxy apart, will Angela and Chal have a chance at love, or will their extraterrestrial secrets leave them running to stay alive?
