I hope you enjoy the following excerpt, and don’t forget to check out more excerpts from authors in the MFRW Book Hooks Blog Hop.
Warrior Priest:
by Kate Hill
Science Fiction Romance
Excerpt:
He finally rose and glanced at her before leaving to use the washroom. When he returned, he took a pillow and stretched out on the floor.
“Not again, Jade,” she said with a frustrated sigh.
“Your orders were clear this afternoon. I quote ‘you can sleep on the floor.’ Or have you forgotten?”
“The question is, don’t you forget anything? I’m starting to think you enjoy confrontation. What am I saying? You’re a warrior priest. Of course you enjoy confrontation.”
“Not with you.” He tilted his gaze up to her with such a disarming expression that she couldn’t cling to the anger that had almost overtaken her again.
“Then for the love of Mother Sun, come to bed.”
With the agility of a panther, he sprang onto the bed, trapping her between his hands and knees. He loomed over her, grinning. “I wondered how long it would take you to change your mind.”
Blurb:
What happens when a warrior priest from a strict religion meets a free-spirited priestess from a new age commune?
Jade and Selena are as different as two people can be, but to facilitate an alliance between their worlds, they engage in a cultural exchange. With their galaxy in danger from a planet that wants to conquer or destroy all others, they realize the importance of their assignment, but it is difficult for a warrior priest and a nonviolent priestess to understand each other.
Selena is both attracted and appalled by his old school masculinity, and Jade is tempted to break his vow of celibacy until marriage due to his powerful desire for her. Will this unlikely pair not only find common ground, but unconditional love?
