I’m excited
to share a peek into my new release, Leena’s Men. It is book #2 of my Fated
Mates of Mesta series. Leena’s Men is currently available
at All Romance Ebooks and Resplendence Publishing and will soon be available on
Amazon and other retailers.

Men

BLURB:
Transporting
cargo between Mesta and its neighboring planets in the Aaron system provides a
comfortable living for Leena, however it greatly lacks in the excitement
department. Receiving a distress signal from a crippled Earth vessel gets her
adrenaline pumping, but being overwhelmed with unfamiliar, intense emotions
from the moment of first contact shocks her to her core. Leena has purposefully
kept the ‘far-from-guaranteed’ event of finding her soul-bonded mates out of
her life plan.
Adam and
Craig were seriously considering making some big changes even before finding
themselves adrift in space with a fast failing life support system. Their
relief and thankfulness for surviving a fiery crash landing is monumental. When
they discover that their savior is a beautiful woman who ignites all of their
senses at first touch, Adam and Craig know without a doubt that their life
together is about to take a course beyond their wildest imaginings.
EXCERPT:
“Leena,
I’m picking up an automated distress signal.”
“Origin?”
“This
sector, a non-military Earth class B vessel. They must be in serious distress;
the signal is extremely weak.”
“Give
me their position and attempt to establish contact,” Leena instructed.
As
soon as the coordinates locked into her navigation terminal, she changed course
to intercept and increased speed to maximum. People of the Galactic Federation
planets provided aide to each other without question. It was one of the many
attributes that separated them from the insurgent worlds.
The
Earth craft was moving at such a slow velocity, it came into view relatively
quickly. Leena maneuvered her cargo ship in a wide circle around it.
“Phaedra,
are you getting any response?” she asked her co-pilot.
“No.
Maybe there are no survivors and it’s functioning on auto?”
“Possibly,”
Leena replied, taking note of the severity and pattern of external damage. The
ship had obviously been in battle and escaped. The hull burns indicated they’d
received heavy hits from behind. “Or the crew may be alive but unable to
communicate.”
She
took position in the lead and executed a slow turn starboard. When the Earth
vessel followed, her heart thudded in her chest and a wave of intense relief
swept through her.
“What
in the stars?” Leena mumbled. She closed her eyes a tried to calm herself.
“Leena,
are you unwell?” Phaedra asked.
“No,
no I’m fine.” She drew a deep breath and adjusted their course to Mesta. “Open
a channel to home port. At this speed it will be the first we reach.”
“Done.”
“This
is H’oug three six nine, we have an emergency,” she announced.
“Leena,
this is Caris; explain.” Caris was her eldest brother’s bonded mate.
“We’re
leading in a damaged Earth ship. We’ve been unable to establish communication
and they’re flying sub-light. I figure they have no navigation since we found
them heading away from the inhabited section of our system. Who knows if they
have the ability to make a controlled landing?”
“I’ve
got you both on scope. We’ll be ready here; you hold back at the outer
perimeter.”
“No,
that’s too far from port. They won’t be able to see where they’re supposed to
go. I’m bringing them all the way in.” Adrenaline raced through her veins.
Transporting cargo between Mesta and its neighboring worlds provided a
comfortable living, but greatly lacked in the excitement department.
“Do
not take any unnecessary risks.”
“Yes,
sir,” she responded tersely, choosing to keep the rest of the comments swirling
in her head to herself. Learning to deal with the over-protectiveness of
Slaterine males was a huge part of a Slaterine female’s daily life.
Leena
engaged the communicator attached to the shoulder of her suit, putting her in
contact with the three other members of her crew who were not on the command
deck. “Prepare for landing.”
As
they entered Mesta’s atmosphere, the Earth ship exhibited signs of losing
stabilization. When the landing field was clearly visible, Leena veered out of
their path, accelerated, and re-positioned to be able to watch their descent.
Her nerves kicked into high gear. Gods,
please see them to safety, she silently prayed.
