Blurb:
While on a delivery for the GPA with
his adopted sister Josie, Talon "Tal" Versuthion's space shuttle
crashes onto Tumaro, the notorious wolf-shifter planet. Tal, a Vermithian
humanoid, is lucky to be alive, though Josie can't be found. Desperate to find
her, Tal meets the Alpha King, Blazell Roughshire, his mate, and his life and
the galaxy changes forever. But before the two men can settle into their new
relationship, they must deal with conspiracy, murder, kidnapping and a
centuries old plot to completely eradicate the human race. Can Tal, who has
made it a point to never fall in love with anyone, open his heart and let Blaze
be Passion's hero?
Excerpt:
Tal opened his eyes and looked around, wincing
at the harsh glare of the light above him. Turning his head slightly, he
glanced around the room and realized he lay on a bed, a very soft bed, and the
room décor and furnishings had been done in soft golds and greens. Tal
instantly felt at ease, not only the colors but, inexplicably, also by the
presence of someone in the room, which didn't make any sense because Josie knew
not to enter his guest quarters when they were given rooms to sleep in. He sighed
and closed his eyes to return to sleep. His brain clicked into gear. He been
headed off course towards Tumaro and his shuttle had crashed. Josie had been
with him…
Josie!
"J-J-Josie?" he croaked.
Clearing his throat, he raised his voice and
tried to sit up in bed, which he seemed incapable of doing. "Josie!"
The doors to the room flew open and Tal found
himself blinking up at the massive, hulking man who'd rushed inside.
"Are you okay? What's wrong?" the
gorgeous man asked.
Tal's brain effectively shut down again and he
let his gaze rove over the man's features. Tall, really tall, gorgeous, with
long black hair, a pair of the lightest blue eyes ever. While his skin had a
darker shade than Tal's, it still appeared paler than that of other Tumarons.
Shaking himself out of his reverie, Tal
answered, "J-Josie… my sister, where is she? She was with me on the
shuttle. Where is she?"
Reaching out, he grabbed onto the front of the
man's gray shirt and held on as tight as he could, which in his weakened state
wasn't all that tight. What if Josie hadn't survived? What if she had and tried
looking for him? What if the Tumarons had found Josie and made her their slave?
Were they about to do the same thing to him? What if he never saw his sister
again?
Tal looked around the room frantically and
realized what he'd thought had been a bedroom, actually appeared to be a
clinic. He began to panic, his breath coming faster when he imagined all of the
horrible things that could have happened to Josie, while he'd been lying in a
hospital bed, apparently being taken care of.
The big man frowned when he sat down on the
bed. Tal noticed and appreciated the look of concern on the other man's face
but he had to find his sister.
"There was no woman when we found you,
beauty," the stranger said, his voice low and full of confusion.
Tal's brain paused momentarily at the
endearment. The man didn't know him and while Tal found him attractive, he felt
too stunned to really appreciate it. Then the other man's words sank in.
"What? No. No. No! No, you have to be
wrong! She was sitting in the seat next to mine, she was there! You have to go
find her! You have to go and find my sister! Josie! Josie!"
Frantic, Tal sat up swiftly, swaying a bit and
pushing away the hands of the mysterious man who seemed determined to try to
make him lay back down in the bed. "Let me go! I have to go and find my
sister! Josie!" he screamed and got out of the bed and tried to race for
the door, stumbling along the way.
The solid wood swung open in front of him and he
barreled into a very wide, very firm chest.
"Whoa there, where are you running off
to?" the man attached to the chest spoke.
Tal flushed with warmth. He wanted to wrap his
arms around the body before him. He wanted to wrap his legs around the bigger
man's waist and never let go. Tal raised his eyes up, past the thick, muscled,
tanned neck to the square jaw, dusted faintly with a dark, stubbled shadow, to
the aquiline nose that spoke of an aristocratic heritage, and finally to a pair
of the most gorgeous, dark blue eyes Tal had ever seen. The man's long, black
hair that hung to just below his shoulders and his large frame turned him into
Tal's walking wet-dream come true.
Tal quickly reconsidered the crazy notion when
the man in question growled low in his chest and clutched Tal fiercely to his
chest before burying his face in his neck. Tal squeaked in surprise but
amazingly did not pull away. He felt safe in the man's arms, even though he
didn't know his name, and he never wanted him to let go.
Tal's world spun when the man in question
quickly jerked him behind him, pressing Tal against the door.
He growled at the other man in the room,
"Mine."
His voice sounded low and forceful, growly and
full of authority and power. He would not be one to be messed with. He ruled in
the room at that moment and Tal kind of felt happy the guy seemed to be on his
side, even if he didn't exactly know why.
"Blaze? Are you saying that this…
humanoid… is your mate?" the first man asked incredulously.
The man named Blaze turned to look at Tal, his
eyes softening rapidly, a slow smile coming to his fac. He inhaled deeply,
breathing in Tal's scent, his eyes closing in rapture before he turned back to
answer the question.
"Yes Buck, he's mine… my mate."
Tal's eyes widened, another squeak escaping at
the word mate. His mother's words about how he would feel upon meeting the
person destined for him came rushing back. He stepped away from the man called
Blaze and backed into the door behind him, his eyes wide and his body quivering
in fear. Blaze met his gaze, his eyebrows raised in question
"Fucking shit balls," Tal breathed.
"Hell no." He shook his head quite forcefully before he slipped back
into unconsciousness.
About the Author:
Author: Vicktor Alexander
Website: http://www.vicktoralexander.com
Info: Vicktor Alexander “Vic”
wrote his first story at the age of 10 about his youngest sister and her
destruction of the world…with her breath. Always one who pushed the edge of
convention, it wasn’t long or much of a shock, before he was writing
interracial historical romances. However, Vic realized that his heroes seemed
much happier when they were hanging out with other guys and that was when he
discovered the M/M genre. Vic now enjoys writing about shifters, humanoids,
cowboys, firemen, rent boys, fairies, elves, dancers, doctors, Doms, Subs, and
anything else that catches his fancy, all sexy men falling in love with each
other and having lots of naughty, dirty, man-on-man sex. Vic is a huge fan of
the “happily-ever-after” ending, but while his characters all ride off into the
proverbial sunset, all sexually satisfied and in love, they all bear the scars
of fighting for that love, just like in real life. No fluff writer here, Vic’s stories can be
slightly gritty, dark and hard hitting, but the reason for that, is that love
is sweeter when it’s been fought for and won. Never satisfied with only one
genre, every book that Vic writes falls into more than one category and has
each main character experiencing more than one orgasm. Out and proud, Vic does
not believe that love only comes in one form, one race, one gender and that not
only is gender fluid, by sexuality as well.
Vic loves to make people laugh and when he’s not writing, or rather,
procrastinating in writing, he’s reading, playing the Sims 3, hanging out with
his very supportive adopted family, taling to his adopted daughter Catrina,
seeking the man or men who can handle his crazy, stressful, soap opera-esque life
and being distracted from his writing by drooling over pictures of John
Barrowman and Shemar Moore.
