Game on Askole
by Gail
Koger
GENRE: science fiction/romance
BLURB:
Tihar travels to Earth to find and claim a Jones’ female. He
knows they are fearless, psychic warriors and talented in bed sport. Ten
minutes after meeting Sarah, Tihar knows the feisty, little human is the one he
has been searching for. Now he must convince Sarah, she’s meant to be his.
The first-time Sarah sees Tihar, she's a bit freaked out. The
Askole warrior has tentacles, snakelike features and black armored-plated skin.
Even weirder she finds him strangely attractive. Tihar’s torso is sculpted
perfection and his black scales are kind of sexy. Who knew challenging Tihar to
combat would start the Askole mating dance. He thinks Earth girls are easy and
he’s about to learn messing with a Jones female is never a good idea.
As the two grow closer, their romance comes to a screeching halt
when Askole rebels attack Tihar’s home world. He tells Sarah she is his heart’s
destiny and he will love her to the end of time. He abruptly severs their
mental bond and disappears. Reeling from shock, Sarah won’t let a galactic war
stop her from hunting him down. Can the two of them find their way back into
each other’s arms?
Excerpt:
Poof!
A tall, stick thin Coletti female wearing a pointy metal hat and bronze
breastplate over a screaming red body suit appeared on the terrace and surveyed
us like we were dog poop she had accidently stepped in.
“Say
howdy to Lilkee, the paranoid whack job.” I waved at her all friendly like.
“Lookin’ for your death bringers?”
She
totally ignored me and drew her sword. Lilkee’s entire focus was on Detja. If
looks could kill, Detja would be toes up.
“Lilkee,”
Detja said, her voice terse and unfriendly. “Zarek is not here.”
The
whack job smirked and stroked the hilt of her gem encrusted sword. “I know. I
came to see the pitiful female your half-breed son has chosen.”
“Half-breed?
Pitiful?” Kaylee narrowed her eyes. “One more insult and that skinny bitch is
gonna get her ass kicked.”
“We’ll
help,” I said.
Her
lips curled in contempt, Lilkee examined Kaylee from head to toe. “You are
nothing, but a filthy little primitive whose pathetic planet Malik plans to wipe
from existence.”
“The
only one being wiped from existence is Malik.” Kaylee stood. “If you’re a smart
girl, you’ll leave now, before I beat the living shit out of you.”
“I
am Coletti, daughter of Zarek. You could never defeat me,” Lilkee said proudly.
Kaylee
punched her hard in the mouth, knocking her down. “Wanna bet?”
Two
dozen Genghis Khan wannabes appeared around us.
“Oh,
hell.” I grabbed a butter knife off the table.
“Kill
them,” the whack job commanded.

Howdy.
My name is Gail Koger and once upon a time I was a 9-1-1 dispatcher. Too many
years of wild requests, screwy questions, bizarre behavior and outrageous
demands have left me with a permanent twitch and an uncontrollable craving for
chocolate. I took up writing science fiction romance to keep from killing
people. So far, it has worked.
