"Abducted by aliens and facing sex-training from the deadly delicious Deuce, a lonely woman battles to hang on to her wits and her heart. Little does she realize she and Deuce will soon join forces in the wildest escape plan two naked people tied into one weird chair have ever risked. If they succeed, an even bigger plan awaits them. If not… Well, at least they’ll die smiling."
This novella will be released June 2007 from Amber Heat as part of the summer "Heat Wave" celebration.
EXCERPT:
Boy, people were jerks, weren’t they? Whoever invented humanity had a lot to answer for. Thinking grim thoughts, Sam shot a bird at the driver who’d just cut in front of her. He was lucky she didn’t have a gun. She glared through her cracked windshield at the bumper-to-bumper traffic, knowing she was going to be late for work.
Again.
Knowing her wheezing auto was overheating.
Again.
What she didn’t know was where she’d find the money to get it fixed, not to mention pay her rent and utilities—especially if she got fired, as seemed likely since she was already on probation at the job for mouthing off to an ass-pinching sleazeball… who’d turned out, unfortunately, to be the firm’s newest, biggest client. Sheesh, you’d think she’d been the offender and not him. Could life get any worse?
Funny she should ask that.
Without warning a blinding flash struck! A buzzy, fuzzy, tingling rush and—whizzz—car, traffic, all her earthly worries were far away. Earth itself was far away.
Crystal Reed thought she had met the perfect man. Instead she finds herself entangled in a web of obsessive love and dark secrets, a world that has become tainted by deception and treachery.
A search for the ghost of a chorus girl chorine haunting a costume designer’s Manhattan apartment leads to an encounter with an eccentric, mischievous witch with the ability to send folks back through time…in this case, the 1919 Ziegfeld Follies.
