Finally, I’ll have my first book under my new pen name “Elle Amour” out this Friday, March 5th. These stories are more edgy and exploratory–at least for me. So if you’ll indulge me, here’s the blurb and a short excerpt. Claimed is the first book of the series I’ve called Mate Seekers. Enjoy, and please check out my new site at http://elleamour.com/main.html! I love it. I hope you do too. (Oh, and this link bypasses the 18 and older screen, so beware! The site is hot!)

Lise / Elle

BLURB ~

Book 1 in the Mate Seeker series.

Trista is living every middle-aged woman’s fantasy—she wakes to find her body is pre-kids, pre-stretch marks and pre-gravity. Oh yeah! What’s more, the lover sharing her fantasy—blond hair, piercing turquoise eyes and a sculpted body to drool over—makes her feel like the sexy teen she was back when he first visited her dreams. Except this is no fantasy, and Rurik the Conqueror is no dream lover. He’s real, he’s not from Earth, and this time he’s come to claim her.

Rurik had known Trista of Earth was his by the Svendian way—her scent. A war and fears for her safety were all that kept him from staking his claim years ago, but no longer. He needs her like he needs his next breath. But unknown forces intrude on his plans and Rurik finds she’s in greater danger than ever. This time he’s not giving up, and he’ll die to protect the woman who completes his soul in a way he never imagined.

EXCERPT ~

Chapter One

His woman.

He could smell her in the mists. From behind a tree he watched her lope through the woods, gliding like a nymph. She’d grown older since he’d last spied her. He knew she would have a few lines on her face, a few white hairs she tried to cover up within her dark hair, but his blood still yearned for her.

Hidden, Rurik watched a trickle of sweat roll down her face. She’d lost some weight since he last came. How many of Earth’s years had passed now?

Too long. It was time he claimed her.

She came closer, her head bowed toward the ground, seeming deep in thought.

A green light whizzed past, almost nicking him. The laser struck a tree near the woman, causing her to lift her head and stare straight at him.

Another shot fired as he pulled his pistol. His enemies had found him. “Run,” he yelled at her, wanting, needing her to get away.

Another silent volley. Rurik grabbed her and ducked but too late. The laser had wounded her.

“You,” she whispered, and collapsed into his arms.

Hi, all. Time seems to have stood still with all the snow we’ve received in the East. These Easterners just aren’t used to this. My son has been out of school for over two weeks and today was the first day they’ve had back.

Which got me to thinking…weather emergencies like this snow, or worse, like the earthquake in Haiti, push us sometimes to do incredible things. Drop a note and share with us some of those things you’ve experienced. We would love to hear it! Leave us a note.
