Six on Sunday - THANN

Six paragraphs from THANN, a sensuous paranormal romance.

1. She glanced over at him from the corner of her eye. He was definitely thinking of something, and it wasn’t pleasant. His lips were pressed into a thin line, and that little vein in his forehead was prominent and pulsing. She wanted to ask him about what was going on at work. Maybe get him to open up and get it off his chest, but Burke Shavet wasn’t one to share his thoughts. Never had been since she’d met him three years ago. Yes, there were moments when he could be gentle and loving, but that side of him hadn’t shown itself these past few months. The best she could do was to leave him alone, stay out of his way, and hope everything would eventually work itself out.

2. What would she like to spend money on, or do with it, now that they had the funds? Hers was to own a ranch. Not necessarily a large working ranch, with cows and goats and horses and the lot. A small one where she could raise a few chickens and maybe own one horse. She’d like to learn to ride. And a dog. I’ve love to own a dog. Find a place way out in the country, away from the hectic pace of city life, where their kids could run and play ball in the yard. Ever since she could remember, it had been a deep-seated wish on her part. One she never thought possible. 

3. Sulbin nodded. “If this man has done what you claim he has done, then it is in her best interest to find the nearest authorities so it can be investigated. We must remain out of the scope of their search for the truth in that matter.” He looked pensively down at the ground. “Let us hope she can be trusted to keep our secret safe.”

4.  “No!” She held out a hand to stop him from saying anything for the moment. “Let me finish while I have the courage. I…I know…I mean, I think I know what you’re going to say. That I’m still getting over the trauma of what Burke did to me. And because of that, I’m especially vulnerable emotion-wise. But, Thann, these past few days, I’ve never been happier in my life. You’ve treated me with respect. All of your people have. And that’s something I’m not accustomed to. Your kindness, the way you talk to me, the way you tease me. You’re never condescending. You don’t make fun of me just to hurt my feelings. You don’t think my questions are stupid and berate me for asking them. And then, back there, when I never wanted anything so badly than for you to kiss me, and you did… Thann, I’ve fallen in love with you.”

5.  Thann advanced an inch at time. His feet made no sound on the patchy ground. He knew the moment he changed, one of two things could happen. The cougar could attack her, hoping to drag away Maren’s body with him in pursuit, or he would scare it away. One thing, however, was certain. The closer he got to her before he switched bodies, the better the chance he’d have of protecting her.

6. Thann reached over, taking her cheek in his palm, and held her face steady for him to plant his mouth over hers. It took her a stunned moment to realize what was happening, and another second or two to accept what he was doing. In front of her father. In front of everyone.

Heart of the Beast Mate of the Beast, Book 3
SciFi Romance
by Starr Huntress and Sonia Nova

A beastly pirate. An Alliance agent.
A dangerous mission that pulls them together.

Undercover in the shady parts of Riala, Agent Kira Medina has one job: to find out where human women are disappearing on the planet. A group of off-planet pirates raise her suspicion, but the whole mission is endangered when her cover is blown by an Ezak-X pirate.

When the Ezak-X offers to help her instead of blowing the whistle, Kira realizes she could use an inside man. She immediately regrets her decision when she starts working with Xeegan. The Ezak-X is annoying and reckless. But although he gets on Kira’s nerves, she can’t deny the way he makes her heart thrum…

From a life in captivity to a life as a pirate…
Xeegan has fought to survive since day one. He trusts no one, least of all the Alliance. But when a group of off-planet pirates offer him a job that seems too good to be true, and his acquaintance goes missing, the human female working for the Alliance might just be the key to finding out what’s going on.

No matter how much the female frustrates him, her sweet scent makes him feel things he’s never felt before… She clearly needs his help on this mission, whether she admits it or not.


Heart of the Beast is the third book in the Mate of the Beast series, but it can be read as a standalone. Complete with a HEA and no cliffhangers.

Life hasn’t always been great for Rainn and Gerran, but it couldn’t be much more perfect than it is now. Rainn was happy to move to the remote mountains of Pennsylvania to be with her love, and to satisfy his “other” side. There, they are perfectly content. Only one more thing could make their lives complete.

Gerran is the last of his kind and hopes to create a new life with his human wife. When test after test shows there is no hope, they are both heartbroken. The two are just too different, their systems too incompatible, and there’s no way around it.

Unable to accept why they can’t be given their hearts’ desire, Rainn vows to do whatever it takes to make her husband happy. A deal with an unlikely stranger could be the answer, but it comes with a very steep price.

Is the sacrifice worth the reward? To save his race and bear his child, she will do anything.

Warning! Contains mountain life, freshly baked bread, distant caves, possible extinction, and proof of how far a woman will go to fulfill the wishes of the man she loves.

It started with a winning lottery ticket, and could end with her death.

What would you do with $597 million?

Despite her estranged fiancĂ© raving that it’s a waste of money, Maren Padgett decides to try her luck and buys a lottery ticket with the last few bucks in her wallet. What could it hurt? What Burke Shavet wasn’t expecting was for Maren to actually win. With dollar signs in his eyes, he starts making big plans for the big winnings, contrary to Maren begging him to slow down.

The problem is she doesn’t remember why her life was in danger to begin with. She can’t remember anything actually. But slowly, her memories are returning, and no one is happy with what she’s recalling.


Warning! Contains lumpy soap, a shopping spree, a heavy load, an Oscar-worthy performance, five hundred million reasons, white water, petroglyphs, and a devastating act that brings two people together seeking justice...and love.
