Book Description:
Heralded as the saviors of the Arathian species for their ability to procreate with the infertile Arathians, Earthers are honored citizens on Arath. While his son and extended family seem to be enjoying their new lives on the alien planet, the young widower, Conall MacLeod, feels like he doesn’t have a purpose on their extraordinary world.
His future is forever changed when he meets an Arathian male and female who make him wish for a second chance at love. But nothing is ever easy…
Conall’s self-identity is entrenched in the idea that he’s a monogamous—and heterosexual—man, yet he finds himself unexpectedly lusting after two people, one of them, shockingly, male. He can’t deny that he craves things he’s never wanted before, but if he’s ever going to find love again, he must get past his insecurities and rewrite his own self-image.
Who are the Arathians unexpectedly turning Conall’s head, and heart?
Onalee Cormikan is the co-heiress to Cormikan Industries, the leading medical research firm on Arath, which is devoted to finding a cure for their infertility. Considered reclusive by her peers after the tragic death of her parents, she’s content to support her older brother in the search for a cure... until she meets Brogan, Conall, and his family.
They make her yearn to step out of her possessive brother’s shadow, and explore what—and who—she wants in life.
Brogan is a First Lieutenant of the Arathian Royal Guard, entrusted with the protection of Arath’s soon-to-be monarchs. Solely dedicated to his job, he never expected to find a future outside his passion for his work. Yet Conall’s internal struggles seem to stand in the way of their happy future together as a trio. It’s a good thing Brogan likes a challenge.
Conall’s struggle with his sexuality isn’t the only problem facing the threesome.
As the royal coronation for Princess Jayda, Prince Deian, and Prince Lukas draws near, a new terrorist organization emerges: one that threatens not only the royal trio, but all Earthers on Arath.
With the cure to Arathians’ infertility in sight, Conall, Onalee, and Brogan must do what they can to secure both their future, and that of the Arathian race.
Warning: this book contains explicit scenes of intimacy between three consensual adults: M/F, M/M, and M/M/F.
Excerpt
From Chapter 3:
Across the
field, he saw Forkan Cormikan emerge from the gardens with a female on his
arm—a beautiful female.
Brogan felt his
breath rush out of his lungs as his entire being focused on the pair across the
lawn. Was she Forkan’s mate? No, she couldn’t be. Brogan knew that the male
wasn’t mated, and that he rarely brought dates out in public. Was this his
sister? Please let her be his sister.
Her long hair
was held back from her face by braids, and fell down her back in a black
waterfall. She was slight in stature, and thin—as if she hadn’t eaten a decent
meal in months. Her head turned, taking in the scene, and Brogan wondered what
shade of green her eyes were.
He casually
moved towards them—not because he felt a pull to do so. Nope. Not at all. It was
his duty to keep tabs on all of the guests, including the beautiful females.
He was halfway
to the pair, when Forkan broke away from her and headed towards a group of
council members. The female was left alone, standing at the edge of the lawn,
holding her small purse with both hands in front of herself.
Brogan stopped
and pretended to be admiring the nearby foliage. He sipped his glass of water
and watched the female. She didn’t seem upset that she’d just been abandoned.
Her gaze
wandered over the lawn, while his eyes stayed glued to her. She was absolutely
beautiful. Her skin was a light shade of tan, decorated with golden oriaglyphs
that ran the length of her arms.
Oriaglyphs were
extremely expensive, and few women had that level of decoration on their
bodies. The golden tattoos shone in the sunlight, and seemed to make her
glimmer. Brogan focused on the symbol high on her shoulder that signified her
family, and was unsurprised to see the Cormikan family crest.
This was
definitely Onalee, Forkan’s reclusive sister.
Brogan had long
ago learned all of the Council members and their families by name and
appearance, but even after the dozens of events he’d attended as a Guard for
the royal family, he’d never seen Onalee in person. He remembered that she’d
been home-schooled after the loss of her parents when she was practically a
child. Still a young man himself, Forkan had become her guardian. She’d never
gone to vocational training, like most young people, and instead had had
private tutors. Now a grown woman, she didn’t have a profession, and had never
mated.
Brogan couldn’t
see why: she was lovely. There was no way males had stayed away from her,
especially given her family’s status.
He heard a large
splash come from the lake, and watched Onalee’s face light up in a bright
smile. If he’d thought her beautiful standing there placid, it didn’t compare
to when she genuinely smiled; it was like she was lit from within. Brogan
stared, completely transfixed, as something inside of him shifted.
He reached out
and grasped a nearby tree trunk to keep himself grounded. Inside, he had no
clue what the hell was going on. His chest was tight, his heart hammered so
hard that he was becoming lightheaded. Farther south, his groin tightened with
each moment he watched the female.
Brogan closed
his eyes tightly, and willed his body to gain control of itself. Nothing like
this had ever happened, and he wasn’t sure if it was a positive thing or not.
Most assuredly
not, he told himself. He’d gone through years of specialized training to be at
the top of his profession. Nothing had ever thrown him off-kilter. Until one
tiny slip of a female, he added.
Against his
wishes, Brogan’s attention remained on Onalee. She spent another few moments
watching the children play at the lake, before she shook herself and moved
towards the food tents.
Born and raised outside of Portland, Oregon Nicole spent most of her childhood outside; the beach was her favorite place on Earth. When forced indoors by the lovely Oregon weather, she spent most of her time doing art.
In high school she continued taking art classes and focused on music- choir mostly. Nicole was introduced to romance novels in college, which kindled her love for reading! In the years since she’s devoured hundreds of books, and although she likes other genres she always come back to romance… because the endings are always happy ones.
In 2013, after hearing her expound on her imaginative creations for years, Nicole’s husband encouraged her to write her own book. She began writing the next day and decided that she’d keep going until it wasn’t fun any longer. Three years later she’s still going!
Moving often for her husband’s work and in recent years has lived in: Texas, Oklahoma, Alaska, California, and North Dakota. Her family currently lives in Sicily, Italy. Thankfully she can write from anywhere in the world!
