I thought for this Thursday Thirteen, I’d give you thirteen facts about The Bond That Ties Us, release next week!

1. The Bond That Ties Us is set on Eurus colony, found many hundred light years from Earth. The colonists had to be cryogenetically frozen to make the trip.

2. Haylie Bond is the new security chief. No one knows what happened to her predecessor and his files have gone missing.

3. Haylie doesn’t act on impulse because she feels she’d be too much like her mother, who’d abandoned Haylie and her father for another man.

4. Ambassador Kamran represents the Briel, a race of people who have helped the humans establish a colony and presence in this sector of space.

5. Kamran is the youngest and most celebrated ambassador his people has ever had. He takes his job very seriously, and has spent the last year trying to prevent the Ecada from attacking the human/Briel colony.

6. Ownership of Eurus is currently under dispute. A brutal race known as the Ecada want the planet for their own. Ideally with the humans for a food source.

7. The Briel are governed by a matriarch. There are fewer women than men on their planet, and finding a mate is of great importance. Only single Briel men, or widowed Briel females have positions off world.

8. Sara Fergus is Haylie’s best friend and the colony’s new doctor. Sara is a bit clumsy, but is a fantastic doctor. She tries to get Haylie to relax.

9. Taber is the Briel head of security. He’s completely loyal to Kamran and lives strictly by the Briel rules of conduct.

10. Off world, the Briel are governed by a subset of the Briel government known as the Elder Council. This is comprised of widowed Briel females.

11. As soon as Haylie arrives on the planet, she is overcome with a wave of desire. She’s not sure what is wrong or who it’s directed toward until she sees Kamran.

12. Once Haylie and Kamran realize there is a connection between them, they decied to hide it from others. If the council finds out about them, they will be forced to leave the colony and return to Briel.

12. The Bond That Ties Us goes on sale from Ellora’s Cave on July 20th!
