Please share a few Fun facts about this book…

• They’re on an alien planet where the atmosphere is an aphrodisiac that makes everyone want to do the down and dirty all the time.
• The hero and the heroine begin as enemies since the humans killed his first mate and his military attacked her ship where she was injured her in the fight.
• Despite the planet compelling them to have sex, all their interactions are consensual and mutually desired.
• Get ready for a badass heroine who holds her own in fights against the hero—except when she wants to give in.
• The hero has never slept with anyone except his first mate who died over a century ago—until he meets his heroine cannot resist her.

If your book was optioned for a movie, what scene would you use for the audition of the main characters and why?

Getting the tension right between these two enemies who are inexplicably attracted to each other was a challenge, but the resulting hotness was ever so worth the effort.

Gahnin walks in, and my heart starts racing like a speeder engaging its hyperdrive. The sight of him…
gods, he is built for temptation. His eyes, those ethereally blue eyes, are hypnotizing in their clarity. He wears no shirt, his bulging chest and arms on display for everyone. I want to bite him, to dig my nails into that hard muscle. I can’t help glancing lower on his body, following the trail of his tapered
waist to his hips—and what hangs between them, behind the leather.

I am wet between my legs, and I have never had such an immediate response to someone, ever. The shock must be present on my face, the way I’m staring at him too obvious.

“It is the desidre,” he rasps, his breath elevated, his eyes staring at my nakedness that I’d forgotten to cover up. “It is what causes this…reaction.” He says the last word with a sickened disdain. We are enemies. He hates this as much as I do.

I let out a heavy, frustrated breath. “So, going without sex isn’t an option?”

“It appears not.” He’s rigid, every muscle bunched and strained. Gods, he’s so fuckable, this is a crime. Why couldn’t he have been any other species? Then this would not be a problem. It would be a pleasure.

I have to get out of here. But he’s blocking the door. “Out of my way.”

He almost laughs, crosses his arms, and blocks my view of the door. “No.”

“No?” I stalk toward him, uncaring that I’m naked. “Last chance.”

He rolls his eyes and reaches for me.

I grab his throat and shove my thumb beneath his jaw. His eyes widen with surprise, but he twists his arm around my shoulder and shoves my back into the wall. I grunt, and it forces the air from my lungs.

He’s inches from my face—his fangs extended. His massive, hard body cages mine, his thighs bracketing my hips, his pelvis anchoring me to the wall. I shudder and feel his cock digging into my belly through his leather. Gods.

I’m not weak. I don’t give in. I never lose.

But I want to.

What do you want people to take away from reading this book?

My aim is to empower readers with the balance of power between the hero and heroine, with the heroine’s unapologetic dominant personality and the hero’s alpha yet sensitive tendencies.

Book Info:

Gahnin, a Ssedez general, hasn’t had a woman since his first mate died a century ago. And since his kind can live for a thousand years, he’s still bound by traditional mourning. If he breaks mourning, he could lose his position in the Ssedez military. His friends and family. Everything.

That means no falling in love. No lust. No sex. For another century.

Then he’s ordered to guard Assura, a human woman and military special operative, on a planet whose atmosphere causes a sexual arousal so fierce, it drives people insane if it isn’t satisfied.

Even though he tries to keep Assura at arm’s length, he’s hooked. Forbidden desire called to life by a human, the same species who killed his first mate. Assura needs his body if she is going to live. But if he gives in to his passion, it could destroy him.
