It takes a strong man to be able to stand up to her demands, and so far she hasn&#8217;t found one strong enough to want to come back for more. On the eve of the biggest Sci-Fi convention in the known universe, she makes a wish. Now it&#8217;s up to Doug, the sexy troubleshooter from the Wishes Gone Wrong department of Wishlabz Inc. to make sure it comes out right. Because a wish gone wrong can be a very dangerous thing&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou killed him?\u201d She couldn\u2019t help it. Her voice rose to a high-pitched squeak.<\/p>\n<p>Doug laughed. \u201cHell no. He\u2019s just out for the next forty-eight hours or so. Little known fact about Tra\u2019toni; they have a very sensitive pressure point at the base of their skulls. Press it hard enough, they drop like a stone and stay there for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Relief flooded through her. \u201cSo why don\u2019t we stay and clear things up with security?\u201d She looked around as he changed direction, hustling her down a long corridor away from the main conference area. \u201cThe exhibits are all the other way. Where are we going?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Doug draped an arm around her shoulder and pulled her in for a long heated kiss just as a couple of people decked out in futuristic armor exited one of the side corridors and hurried past, chattering away in galactic standard.<\/p>\n<p>His lips locked over hers and he thrust his tongue deep. Want and need slammed into her like a freight train careening out of control, while his hands slid down to mold the shape of her ass. She\u2019d been anticipating a long night of passionate lovemaking before she\u2019d realized her wish had gone so horribly wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Heat coiled in the pit of her stomach and sent tendrils of erotic fire darting through every nerve. She suddenly didn\u2019t care where he was taking her, so long as there was a sleeping platform there. Or a table. Or a floor. Or a kitchen counter. Right now, she\u2019d be quite happy to fuck standing up right here in the corridor. Damn! She needed some action, and soon. He broke off the kiss as quickly as he\u2019d started it, and Jenna shook her head in bewilderment. \u201cWhat the hell?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t want that couple to be able to identify us later. Now all they are going to recall is two people making out in the corridor. They didn\u2019t even get a good look at our faces.\u201d He urged her further down the corridor. \u201cMy job is somewhat discreet, and I don\u2019t want anyone connecting us with the big guy lying on the floor back there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He stopped in front of an access panel, and Jenna realized that they were in the outer rings where the passenger ships docked. Producing a plastic data card, Doug slipped it into the I.D. panel. The door cycled open with a quiet\u00a0<em>swoosh,<\/em>\u00a0and he motioned her to precede him.<\/p>\n<p>A short walk down the corridor led them to a ship\u2019s entrance port. \u201cWelcome to the\u00a0<em>Gryphon<\/em>.\u201d He patted the ship affectionately before placing his hand on the security panel to allow it to identify him. \u201cBest little spaceship in the galaxy.\u201d The entry slid open smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNice.\u201d Jenna couldn\u2019t care less about a bucket of bolts. \u201cWhere\u2019s your stateroom? You do have a stateroom, don\u2019t you?\u201d She ran a finger down the thin material of his shirt. \u201cWith a bed?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchase Link:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Love-Wishes-Kane-Anne-ebook\/dp\/B00RETCJ22\/\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Love-Wishes-Kane-Anne-ebook\/dp\/B00RETCJ22\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Author Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Website:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.annekane.com\/\">http:\/\/www.AnneKane.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Twitter:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/annekane\">www.twitter.com\/annekane<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Facebook:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/anne.kane.author\">http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/anne.kane.author<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pinterest:\u00a0<u>http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/sassic123\/<\/u><\/p>\n<p>Goodreads:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/list\/2870136.Anne_Kane\">Books by Anne Kane (Author of Captive Heart)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-share-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" data-via=\"compbeastsblog\">Tweet<\/a><br \/>\n<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=\/^http:\/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+':\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Love \u00a0and Wishes Author: \u00a0Anne Kane Blurb: \u00a0 Jenna has a secret &#8212; her alien blood makes her completely lose control during sex.
