Lyrical Press
Galena Shantos has never questioned her loyalty to Eden. As sister to the Myren king, she serves as a healer, one of the best in the army fighting to suppress the brutal Lomos Rebellion. She’s never doubted the importance of stopping the rebels bent on enslaving humans, until she spots a warrior across enemy lines—and knows instinctively that their destinies are entwined. . .
Rebellion warrior Reese Theron has nothing left to lose. He’s been forced to fight on the wrong side of a war he abhors in order to protect his family secret. His honor lost, as well as the trust of his own people, Reese has thrown himself into a battle he cannot possibly hope to survive. But after being rescued by a beautiful woman whose exquisite eyes seem to see him for more than the traitor he’s become—he may have just found a new reason to live. ..

“Reese’s
heart stumbled then took off at a pounding gallop. Of all the reasons he might
have rationalized to explain Galena’s visit, a personal request hadn’t been one
of them.
She needed
him. Not wanted, but needed. His cock stirred, and a rush of something dark and
primitive swamped his reason. He shifted to ease the hard press behind his
jeans, caution the only thing that kept him locked in place. Surely he’d
misinterpreted things. Yesterday’s kiss had just been a gift, a sendoff from a
generous woman before he met his death. Hadn’t it?
“Say
something.” Galena whispered, the rasped request so vulnerable it raked inside
his chest.
Maybe he
hadn’t misunderstood.
She ducked
her head, gripped the chair at her side for a beat, and turned away. “I should
go.” Chin high, she strode toward the door.
“No.” He
burst across the room with Myren speed and slammed his palm against the door to
block her escape.
He caged her
against the wall, her back to his front. Her ear nearly brushed his lips, her
neck exposed by the long, thick braid down her back. He dragged his finger down
the center of the plait. Myrens rarely bound their hair in any fashion outside
of a relationship as it signaled commitment. The idea she’d come here bound to
someone else rankled. “Why did you bind it?”
“The wind.”
Energy bristled off her, and her stance made her seem torn between flight and
surrender.
“There’s no
one else?”
She peeked
over one shoulder and shook her head, eyes trained on the floor.
The breath
he’d been holding released and “stirred the fine hairs at her nape. He toyed
with the platinum bead keeping the braid in place at the tip. “Will you let me
free it?”
An innocent
question for a human, but for a Myren it was intimate. A gift restricted to
deeply tied lovers and mates.
She lifted
her gaze, bringing her full lips close enough her breath fluttered against his
face. “Please.”
His heart
jolted, just the illusion of intimacy with this woman driving adrenaline
through his bloodstream like a mainlined drug. He kissed her barely parted lips
and groaned, imagining her soft, plump mouth stretch around his cock.
“Turn
around,” he breathed against her mouth.
She shivered
and turned, but kept her gaze locked to his until the last moment.
Using his
mind, he warmed and loosened the platinum bead, and slipped it free. He sifted
through the soft strands one section at a time until the fiery mass spilled
down her back, unleashing more of her unique scent. He nuzzled the spot behind
her ear. How easy it would be to lose himself with this woman. In her scent and
her warmth. He let out a rough exhale. “This is wrong.”
She
stiffened, but he tightened his grip on her hips and kept her locked in place.
“The
secrets.” He pressed a lingering kiss where her neck and shoulders met.
“They’ll hurt you and your brothers.”
“They’re only
secrets if you’re not willing to own them.” She met his stare and a shiver
rattled through her. Covering his hands with hers, she urged them up her torso.
“I’m willing to own this.”

Yes, her life rocks—two beautiful little girls, a great husband, a steady job, and the kind of friends that would take you out back if you hurt her. But, like most women, she’s got obligations stacked tight from dusk to dawn. So, when the world gets her down, she slips into something…less realistic.
Romance is a must. So is a steamy romp (or four). Nothing thrills her more than the fantasy of new, exciting worlds, strong, intuitive men, and the sigh of, “Oh if only that could happen to me.”
So, if you’re picking up one of her books, expect portals into alternate realms and men who’ll fight to keep the women they want. Romantic escape for the women who need it.
