Blurb:
On Alpha Island men sell their flesh through prostitution or gladiatorial matches. Brothers Iron and Rock have almost earned enough in the arena to buy their freedom. When tragedy strikes during a match, Rock refuses to fight again, even if it means staying on Alpha Island forever.
Accidentally transported to the planet Amazurn, Earth women Geri and Dee thought all they wanted was to return home, until they fell in love with the sexy twin gladiators. Tender yet powerful Rock has claimed Geri’s heart and fiery Iron is Dee’s perfect match. The women must choose between their home world and love.
When Rock and Iron are invited by the Queen of Amazurn to participate in a gladiatorial challenge with freedom as the prize, they have a chance for a new life with their lovers. But the competition is fierce and rather than gaining their freedom, the brothers might lose their lives.
Note: Rock and a Hard place is the conclusion of a two-part story started in Puppies Bite.
The following excerpt from ROCK AND A HARD PLACE is for readers 18 and over.
This was the way to start the day. Nothing felt better than standing here, warm after a shower, wearing nothing but a towel while the most gorgeous man in the universe approached her from behind.
Rock’s arms slid around Geri and he nuzzled her neck while holding her close to his hard, damp body. She closed her eyes and leaned against him.
Fear tainted this romantic moment.
Tonight Rock and his twin brother Iron would fight in a gladiatorial match, a top form of entertainment on Alpha Island. Here on the female-dominated planet Amazurn, alpha males were banished to one of four islands where many men survived as gladiators or prostitutes. To a recently arrived Earth woman like Geri, Amazurn took some getting used to. If not for Rock, she wasn’t sure how she would have survived here without losing her sanity.
Rock tugged off her towel and let it drop to the floor. Their nude bodies pressed close and his stiffening cock pressed against Geri. He caressed her hips then cupped her breasts. She sighed with pleasure as his thumbs swept over her nipples, awakening them. He slid a hand down her belly and his fingers stroked her soft mound before dipping between her legs.
Geri moaned and wiggled her bottom against him. He chuckled deep in his throat.
“You like this?” he said close to her ear.
“What do you think?”
“I think we can do better.” He swept her into his arms and carried her out of the bathroom and into his adjoining bedroom.
