Today’s release of Camille’s Capture is the first book set in my latest vision of the distant future. I love world building, but even better than creating new solar systems is the joy of finding the right characters to bring the erotic adventure to life. Instead of the traditional blurb and excerpt, here are snippets from the story describing Cami, Jaxon, and Aegis.
This story belongs to all three of them, but most of all to Cami, sweet, brave, and stronger than she believes. Even the meekest lamb had a breaking point where she’ll fight or flee. Cami’s a realist-- she flees. Although she doesn’t get far before her designated mates catch up with her, she finds plenty of trouble.
The difference between how someone sees themselves and how they really look--has always intrigued me.
An unlikely space war combatant, Cami is short, round, and ordinary. When Jaxon views a holocast of her, he sees something entirely different.
The big guy hadn’t exaggerated. On a scale of one to ten, a ten being the best holo-ho Jaxon had ever dreamed up, she was a fifteen. The earthling was some kind of serious beautiful. Almost white blonde hair, hazel eyes, and creamy skin decorated a body built for breeding.
Cami meets Jaxon mid-crisis, but he still makes an impression.
Turning to level him with a glare, she gaped. The man was bristling with weapons of death and destruction. He was also totally jaw-droppingly stunning. Tall and powerfully built like every other warrior she’d glimpsed, this one was even more savage. Perhaps it was his sharp blade of a nose, his piercing, deep-set eyes, or hair cut so short it barely bristled above his skull. Not to mention his arsenal.
Aegis calls to her heart from the moment she sees him.
A second warrior loomed into the shuttle. The new male was larger, more heavily armed, and as she watched him shimmer and change before her eyes, he should have been much scarier than the first man. Cami blinked, expecting to clear the stress-induced hallucination, but her sight was clear. The new warrior really was big--very big, very green, and very much not human. Scales instead of skin, delicate tentacles like those of a sea creature, and knobby horns were arranged in an attractive package with the powerful lure of the alien. The forbidden.
How do you feel about a hero's physical appearance? Could you love an alien--one who's definitely not human?
