It’s here!! It’s OUT!! (well not quite yet, but the buy link will be out soon)

The Bond That Heals Us is released today! Can you tell I’m excited??

*does a snoopy dance*

I love this story. I know I say that about all my books, but this one and the next book in The Eternal Bond series, The Bond That Consumes Us, were so much fun to write. It also helped that I pretty much wrote them back to back, the flow of the characters never left me.

I so hope you’re all going to enjoy Davin. Personlly, I think he’s really sexy…and he has tattoos…

You’ll get to see lots of Taber, Kamran, Haylie, Sean, and will get to meet a few new characters too.

*does another random snoopy dance*

I hope you all enjoy it. Here’s a quick excerpt to warm your engines.

When a loud hiss of atmosphere vented from the shuttle door, every security guard in the bay raised their weapons a fraction higher, fixing them on the spot. Sara gasped when the most unusually handsome man she’d ever laid eyes gripped the now open entrance and leaned out of the ship to stare directly at Taber. His shoulder length brown hair fell forward, partially covering his face.

“I have wounded in here. I need a doctor,” he snapped.

Before she had time to blink, he retreated inside the shuttle. Kicking her body into overdrive, Sara was through the door and halfway across the shuttle bay before Taber could turn around.

“Sara!”

“Come with me if you want, but I’m not stopping. You heard him, they need help.”

Somehow she managed to skirt past Taber and threw her med kit up into the open door. The entrance, which would normally be only a foot from the ground, was a full five feet in the air. For not the first time in her life, Sara cursed her five feet five inches and tried to pull herself in.

“Let me help,” a voice said from above.

Sara looked up and into the most amazing golden eyes she’d ever seen. His irises were reptilian shaped and Sara found herself unable to look away.

“You’re the doctor, I assume?” His voice was deep with an unusual accent.

His English was surprisingly good for a race she’d never seen before. And he sounded more than a little amused, despite the circumstances he was currently in. She had the distinct impression he was laughing at her. She hated it when people laughed at her.

“Are you going to help me up or not?”

“Sara, let me,” Taber said from behind.

She found herself being pushed and pulled up—directly into the waiting arms of her unusual alien. The air in her lungs whooshed out, leaving her shaking and very much aware of the large, firm, male chest she was currently pressed against. He wasn’t as tall as Taber or any of the other Briel on the planet, but he was more than big enough for Sara. A full head taller than her, she was forced to tilt her head back to look into his golden eyes.

“If you’re the doctor, I might have to get ill.” He practically purred as he spoke and then he winked.
