Across the Stars sneak peek 8-18-13 and Winner annoucement

Hey Readers!


First off, the winner of Ella Quinn's The Temptation of Lady Serena is Brenda Dyer. Congratulations Brenda!!!!! 


Below is a snippet from my latest WIP called Across the Stars. It's a SFR or Sci-Fi Romance.

Here's the story scoop: Laina is one of the last surviving humans after earth was destroyed when the humans tried to kill the cyborgs they'd created when the cyborgs rebelled and escaped. Now the Cyborgs, with permission of the Galactic High Council have free rein to pursue the last remnants of the human race and do with them as they see fit. Rorik, a cyborg lieutenant stumbles upon Laina hiding in a ship and he captures her, thinking to get information about the whereabouts of other humans. But when the cyborg doctor on Rorik's ship runs tests on Laina, a genetic anomaly in her hand raises questions and he suddenly wonders if Laina might hold the key to the survival of the cyborg race. Can he learn to trust and love his sworn enemy if it means he might save his people?

Last week we left off with Rorik having discovered Laina hiding in the ceiling. He shot the ceiling tile out from under her and she fell to the ground and now she's recognizing him as the cyborg she saw through her window on the transport ship.

“You,” she let out the whisper, only audible to his ears and shoved herself to her feet and wobbled unsteadily before gaining her balance.

“Me,” he replied with a grin, although there was nothing friendly in his smile and he knew it. “Surrender yourself and we will make your stay more comfortable until it is time for you to be questioned.”

“Questioned?” she echoed and wrinkled her nose as though puzzled by what information he could seek from her. Rorik knew better than to trust humans; they were first and foremost creatures of betrayal and deception.

“Yes, questioned. Julian, restrain her.” Rorik wasn’t sure why but he didn’t want to touch, or rather he wanted too much to touch her, and that was unacceptable, instead he set his phaser back to the default setting of stun and waited for Julian to secure the woman.
