What
can I say? I’m a nerd who lives for romance stories. I love all things
weird…aliens, vampires, were-animals, time travel, mystical/mythical creatures
and sexy beings that help define who we
are as a species. When I created my debut trilogy, I just knew it had to be a
sci-fi romance with all the trappings.
After
writing the first book and developing the characters in An Alien Exchange, I knew I had to tell D’zia and Lora’s story.
Besides, JR10 demanded he be created. Who am I to deprive the universe of his
wonderful self?
“Save
the girl or save the galaxy?”
Blurb:
Guardians of the
Galaxy meets
The Princess Bride.
The second book in the trilogy, D’zia’s Dilemma features a disembodied galactic gangster, a snarky
spybot, and a sentient, lovesick spaceship. If you like non-stop action,
powerful emotions, and sensual aliens, you’ll love the next installment of An Alien Exchange.
A woman
betrayed. An alien duke faced with an impossible decision. Can two lovers who long to be
together overcome those determined to keep them apart?
Lora Dharma
Callahan
excitedly agrees to leave Earth to attend “The Exchange” and meet the alien
mate of her dreams. Instead of finding true love, she’s forcibly kidnapped and
held captive by an alien lunatic who plans to take over the galaxy. He’s going
to use her to create a serum that will ultimately enslave every human female on
Earth. But no emperor wannabe is going to keep this girl down. Lora will find a
way to save not only herself, but her planet as well.
Duke D’zia Yaq
E’etu,
cousin to the crown prince of Zerin, suspects a malicious plot to overthrow the
galactic government. When the opportunity arises to insinuate himself in the
suspected traitor’s stronghold, he doesn’t hesitate to use his infiltration
skills. While there, he encounters Lora, whom he soon recognizes as his
TrueBond. The only problem…she’s imprisoned and scheduled for experiments that
will destroy her.
Now
D’zia has a hard choice to make. Should he stay and get the proof he needs to prevent a narcissistic megalomaniac from
taking over the galactic government…or escape with the only female he can claim
as his own?
Excerpt
An eternity passed
before Lora’s brain cells decided to come back online. Which wasn’t easy since
D’zia had pulled her hips into his hard groin. Holy shamoka, was all of that
for her? Wait, what did he say? Something about a JR10?
“D’zia.” She pulled
her mouth away from his while her inner nasty girl screamed to keep going.
“Don’t, I can’t think when you kiss me.” Her heartbeat was going crazy and it
was hard to breathe.
Okay, take in a few
deep gulps of air…yeah, now she was calm. Right. She put her hands on the sides
of his face to place him farther back from her so she could gaze into his eyes.
Feminine pride warmed her as she took in the dazed, unfocused stare he gave
back. Lordy, those dual-colored orbs were beyond beautiful, especially dilated
in passion. His wet, full lips were tempting, and she’d love to spend eternity
bathing in the weight of his intense focus.
His three-fingered
hands burrowed under her loose tunic to wrap around her naked waist; his palms
massaged her eager skin in heavy strokes.
She jumped when warm
oils under his hands caused a path of lightning to cover her skin wherever he
caressed. A fleeting scent of spiced licorice teased her nose. She drew in a
shuddering breath as she cleared her throat. “D’zia, please, let’s stop and think
about this.”

“Great book! Loved the characters. Loved the story line. Loved where you are going with the series. Wouldn't change a thing! Can't wait to read "Ki's Redemption"! ...Will they find a way to (spoiler alert)? ...Does it really matter? Can they save the Earthlings from (spoiler alert)? (Maybe the question should be "should they save the Earthlings from (spoiler alert) - but that's a discussion for another day!...” Barb B
