Title: Eve's Rescue
Synopsis:
Evangeline Scott was hoping for a fun night on the town after a hellish day. What she couldn't have imagined was getting kidnapped by alien slavers and then left to die on an abandoned ship. Kai Dallen and Roan Quinn were having some bad luck of their own when they found themselves set up by an old adversary and trapped in the vault of a Dhuaation Pharaoh's ship with no way out. When Khaman-Ra makes them an offer they can't refuse, the two space pirates end up rescuing a ship full of human female cargo. All three males are immediately drawn to one of the beauties and make an agreement to satisfy everyone's desires. The only problem is, they didn't think to ask Eve and when she wakes up to find that she's now married to three aliens she's mad as hell. By the time all four of them realise their true feelings, will it be too late, as a woman from Roan's past threatens to ruin it all?

“Thanks,
Matty, but I think I can figure it out. I appreciate the dress. Is there
something else you needed?” she asked trying politely to get him out of her
room so she could try to figure out just what the hell she was going to do now
that she was stuck on an alien spaceship.
He tensed up
and looked confused for a moment, then he must have remembered that she had no
idea what she was doing here, because he relaxed and smiled patiently at her
again.
“Yes, my
lady, your husband and his consorts have assigned me the honor of being your
tutor and companion until you have acclimated to your new circumstance,” he
answered proudly.
Eve stood
unblinking across from him for several moments.
“I’m sorry, I
think I just hallucinated. I thought you said husband,” she said with a
seriously confused frown.
“You are
unwell, my lady? Shall we go to medical? The pharaoh would be quite distressed
if we did not address this right away,” he said quickly, taking a step toward
her.
“Stop,” she
said, her hands coming up. “Did you or did you not just use the word husband in
relation to me?”
Once again
the poor man gave her the confused tilted puppy dog look, and she started to
think perhaps it was just a translation error and that the word meant something
else to these aliens. Relief instantly flowed through her. That had to be it.
He must mean something completely different, and here she was, typical freaking
out Earther newbie, losing her shit over some grammatical error. How
embarrassing, well funny, yeah, but embarrassing nonetheless. Once he could see
her relaxing he also let out a relieved sigh and smiled.
“Yes, my
lady, your husband, or would that be husbands by your Earth standards?
Dhuaatian mating habits do not normally include anyone other than the primary
couple. However, there certainly is no law prohibiting more than two persons
from entering into a marriage contract. I have so many questions about your
planet. We will learn much from each other over the next while, don’t you
think?” he said, rambling on, sounding like an excited child talking about a
trip to the zoo.
Eve didn’t
really hear much after the word husband came out of his mouth again, oh, except
for the word husbands that followed shortly after it. She for damn sure heard
that!
“This better
be some miscommunication, Matty! Because I’m one hundred percent sure that I
don’t remember getting hitched in between getting kidnapped and waking up in
here!” she yelled at the old man as his eyes grew wider and wider, realizing
his mistake.
“Miss, I am
sorry to distress you. There was no other way for the pharaoh to ensure your
safety. You had to be mated, or the slavers would just have tried to acquire
you once again. This way you have the protection of the Coalition as well as
the Dhuaatian people, and no slaver would dare come after you now,” he said,
taking her hand, trying to soothe her.
“But you said
husbands. Did he marry me off to a harem or something?” she asked. She realized
that shooting the messenger wasn’t the fairest of responses, but who the hell
marries someone while they are passed out?
“Oh no, my
lady, the pharaoh married you himself. As well as the Sirotian security chiefs
Lord Kai and Lord Roan. The four of you are now bound,” he answered.

I like it when I find and meet a new writer. I have 2 books in this series to read so I can read this one.
ReplyDeleteHi Felicia, I'm very glad to meet you as well! I hope you enjoy the series, Eve's Rescue has been my favorite so far, the main character Eve has quite a sense of humour ;-)
DeleteDo you have a favorite book conference to attend? What is it?
ReplyDeleteHello Mai, I haven't been to any conferences as of yet. My first book was only published in December of last year so its been a bit of a whirlwind getting all the social media sorted while still trying to work full time and write. I also live in British Columbia, so we don't seem to have as many up here. Looks like I'll have to take a few trips!
DeleteThat's an attention getting cover.
ReplyDeleteLol, thanks Mary. I honestly didn't really have any ideas on what I was looking for in a cover when I submitted the first in this series to the publisher, Harris Channing created the cover art for me and I love her work!
