Dangerously Yours by A.M. Griffin
 
Blurb:
The steamy standalone sequel to Dangerously Mine.
 
Kane Epps divides his life into two distinct parts—before the alien invasion and after. Before the invasion, he had a pregnant wife and a high-powered job. After the invasion, he’s left with only himself and his hatred for all things alien. He channels his bitterness by captaining a vessel of renegade humans—space pirates who don’t think twice about taking what they need.
Princess Sa’Mya is on the run. She and a few trusted advisers fled her home planet, only to be captured by the sexy, dangerous Captain Epps. He claims to hate aliens but can’t seem to resist touching her or kissing her…everywhere. As Kane introduces Sa’Mya to ever-increasing, unimaginable realms of pleasure, the princess becomes determined to earn his trust. She’s used to getting what she wants. And this time, what she wants is Kane Epps.
 Inside Scoop:
 
This space-opera romance contains male/male sex scenes, girl-on-girl action, group sex and some good old-fashioned voyeurism.

Excerpt:
 


It took more than an hour but they finally found a house safe enough to enter without the fear it would crumble around them. Although the modest brownstone leaned precariously on its side, it would do for the night.
Kane entered, kicking the debris out of his way, Anna’s limp hand planted firmly in his. The smell of mildew and decay overrode his senses. The dirt that caked the furniture told of its abandonment. Dust wafted through the air, stirring with each step they took. Her dainty hand that covered her nose and mouth did nothing to keep it from settling in her lungs. Anna coughed as he led her through to the living room.
“Here, sit down. I’m going to check the kitchen for food and bottled water.” He let her go, settling her in front of a loveseat, the only piece of furniture in the room that didn’t look as if it would break apart under her pregnant weight. “Don’t go anywhere.” He didn’t want her exploring before he could make sure the structure was safe.
He propped the two knapsacks next to her. His jangled and clanked as he set it down. Hers made a soft rustling noise. As alien bombs had rained from the sky and life as they knew was no more, he had grabbed supplies and tools needed for survival, while she had wasted precious time taking pictures out of frames and photo albums.
Anna’s warm smile was meant only for him as she eased onto the dirty loveseat, pulling the knapsacks closer to her. “You can't get rid of me that easily.”

He couldn’t help but return her smile. This was why he loved her. Even in this, she still had her sense of humor.
He strode purposely through the double swinging kitchen doors and headed straight to the cabinets. He wanted to let out a frustrated scream as he flung open each one. Empty. Every cabinet he opened, empty. He frantically scanned the room, locking on what he sought.
The pantry.
He made it to the door and swung it open. Empty.
Shit. Shit. Shit.
His knees buckled underneath his weight. He grabbed the doorframe with a shaky grip. Anna needed to eat. She was already too weak to go on.
His mind raced as perspiration formed across his brow.
Calm the fuck down.
He needed to stay in control or they were sure to die.
How long since she last ate? Last night? What about water? This morning? Or was it yesterday morning? Shit.
He gripped the doorframe harder. There was something about the rule of three. What was it? Humans can live for three weeks without food, three days without water and three minutes without air. Past three and you’re dead. What about pregnant women?
Whiz, boom! A high-pitched screeching cut through the air outside.
The house shook and rumbled as it was hit. Kane watched in slow motion as the appliances on the countertop jostled and fell over. Seconds slowly ticked by as a glass coffeepot hit the floor, shattering into a million pieces on impact. A large mixer bowl fell to its side and rolled across the countertop. Kane’s heart stopped.
They’re here.

Super Duper Important- Scavenger Hunt Instructions:

I am a book addict...and proud of it is pleased to have Muffi Beyer with us today.
 
 


Are you a plotter or a pantser, or a hybrid?
First of all, what’s a pantser? It sounds  like someone who runs around pulling people’s pants down and then running away. The other word “plotter” seems to include the word “plot” – if that’s the case then, I vote yes. Having a plot is a good thing. In terms of whether or not I’m a hybrid all I can tell you is I wish I drove one, but damn, it’s expensive to be green.

In your opinion, what makes a great hero?
 A good hero is the man you’d want to wake up to and still want to have sex with even if he had morning breath and a bad case bedhead. A good heroine is someone who you tell your secrets to over a cheap bottle of wine, and then could count on to kick the ass of everyone who was ever mean to you.

 
Do you prefer strong women for heroines, or the ‘damsel in distress’ type?
Really? If a woman doesn’t choose to fight for what she believes in then she should go back to costume dramas and have a case of the vapors.
 
What book are you currently reading?
Well, I’m reading seven books right now to be honest. 1. I’m loving, adoring an amazing zombie love story, Warm Bodies by Isaac Marlon, 2.Let it Snow: There Holiday Romances by John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle, 3. Unsaid by Neil Abramson – a kind of Our Town with a vet, two horses, three dogs, a husband, an autistic boy and his mother, 4. A Silent Run by Barbara Freethy, and 5. Perks of Being a Wallflower, by Stephen Chbosky, 6. A quite steamy, naughty, Breaking Free by Anya Richards, and then 7. a Not-Very-Good-Book-That-Will-Remain- Nameless for a screenplay I’m being hired to write. So many good books not enough time.

Do you have anything in common with your characters?
 Ahh… pleading the fifth on that one. But let’s just say I’M NOT CRAZY LIKE MY LEADING CHARACTER RACHEL!!!!!!!

 
What item, or items, is absolutely necessary to your writing mojo?
 A computer, gallons of caffine, my Italian Greyhound, and oh yeah… life.
 
Do you have any rituals for writing or special locations that you prefer to inhabit when you’re writing?
Well, the shower is a great place to write even if it’s not great for computers. There’s nothing like being nude and soaping up to get the creative juices flowing.
 
Right now, what items are on your desk that you’d be embarrassed to admit to?
 I don’t have a desk, thank God. I think the rest of this interview is embarrassing enough.


Blurb:


“Exile is a deeply romantic psychological thriller that will take you on a roller coaster exploration of grief, logic, and the transcendental nature of love…”
*Anya Richards, best selling author
Reeling from the loss of her son and her ex’s indifference, Rachel a successful film director, heads to Ireland to shoot her next project. Once there, she’s plagued with vivid dreams and a gnawing sense of déjà vu. But Rachel’s tough exterior really begins to crumble when she spots a statue in the town square and is shocked to realize it’s the exact replica of the man who has haunted her dreams for months—a handsome stranger for whom she feels a deep and mysterious attraction…
Will Rachel choose love even at the expense of her own sanity? Or is her love for the man of her dreams more real than anything here on earth…?
