Hello everyone! Can you believe we're into November already? On my list of things I wanted to accomplish this year, I have one more book that I want to finish. And while I am working on it, I'm not sure if it will be ready before the new year. Anyway, I'm sharing another snippet from RET, my most recent release. Snippet setup: Last weekend's snippet showed Ilam with conflicting feelings about his team captain. And the alcohol Ret kept giving him was not helping. In this snippet, Ilam has stopped drinking, and Ret has moved onto something else, as they begin to have an actual conversation. This is in Ilam's point of view, but the first line of dialogue is Ret. Enjoy! “First, I want to know why you never come to the clubs with us.” I took a deep breath and tried to come up with a tangible answer while he took another drink. He’d asked this many times, and I always came up with some excuse as he got ready to leave. Only, he wasn’t on his way out this time. “Um, it’s not really my scene.” “What do you mean?” He wrinkled his brows as he gestured up and down my body. “You’re very attractive. You could have everyone there offering you drinks and much more to spend one night with you.” I twisted in my seat, turning to face him. Stars, why did talking with him have to be this uncomfortable? **Plus, some more of the scene... “See, that’s the issue. I’m not into having one-night stands. When I find someone I want to be with that way, I want it to last. I want an actual mate, not a one-time thing.” Ret clacked his tongue. “A mate, huh? Don’t you want to have a little fun first? Get a sample of what’s out there before you settle? I know you’re an omega and all, but that doesn’t mean you need to be with the first guy who pays attention to you. You’re still young.” I stood up, needing to stop this conversation from going any further. I’d already had more than enough of the kind of attention Ret was talking about in my lifetime. The first was long ago and not anything that made me crave more. But Ret would never understand. “I’m going to bed.” “No.” He gripped my bicep and tugged on my arm. “Please don’t. I’m sorry if I offended you. It’s just you’re so fucking good-looking. I don’t get it.” RET Kaddim Brothers book three Ret Kaddim has the perfect life. He’s a space racer, the leader of the most popular team across the universe. Always planning, practicing, and racing, he has no time for a relationship, but finds plenty of willing partners who agree to his one-night-only rule. Because there is no way he wants to end up in a relationship and stuck with a family like his younger brothers. He’s having too much fun for that. Ilam Nairan always dreamed of becoming a space racer. And thanks to a chance encounter with a retired racer, he is now living that dream. Far away from the mated and pregnant omega life his parents wanted him to have, he loves everything about his life. It’s perfect. But one night can change everything. Especially when too much alcohol is involved. Can these two teammates survive the resulting media storm? What will it mean for their careers? The future of the team? And for them? Ret is a sweet with knotty heat mm non-shifter mpreg sci-fi romance featuring an alpha space racer and an omega space racer who both believe they’ll always be single, snarky but loveable teammates, lots of space racing, endearing family members, an adorable baby, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

I'm sharing another snippet from RET, the third book in my Kaddim Brothers series, which is now available! Snippet setup: Last weekend's snippet showed Ilam feeling a bit uncomfortable and confused as to why Ret was there, but they did have a drink. I'm skipping ahead just a bit, but continuing that scene. This explains a bit about how Ilam is feeling. Enjoy! The next drink was sweeter. No burning. And, for some reason, I lacked the ability to object to another. After five drinks of that stuff, a toast for each member of the team, my body was warm and tingling in places that needed to stay asleep around my unattainable team leader. He could never know what I thought about him. He would definitely kick me off the team if he found out. Ret held up the three-quarters-empty bottle. “Should we start toasting the other teams? The ones who make it easy for us to win?” I waved my hand in front of me. “No. I’m good.” *And a bit more* Tempting thoughts spun in my head, and for some reason, I believed it a good idea to tell Ret that I sometimes fantasized about him. Yep, I’d definitely had enough to drink. Because the Ret I fantasized about didn’t bring home others. He only wanted me. Definitely not the same as the alpha in front of me. I had to stop.

I'm sharing another snippet from RET, the third book in my Kaddim Brothers series, which is now available! Snippet setup: Last weekend's snippet showed Ilam trying to figure out why Ret had come back from the club early. And alone. And why he wanted to have a drink with him. I'm skipping ahead a bit, but continuing that scene. Enjoy! Taking a seat next to my team leader, careful not to actually touch him, I leaned back and brushed my hands across my thighs. Stars, I wasn’t dressed nice. Ret still had on the leather pants and mesh top he’d worn to go out, while I wore my tattered pajama pants. Thank the universe they were a fresh pair, as I’d recently finished my laundry when Ret had knocked on my door. Yet, it was another reason he shouldn’t be here with me. He poured some chirof in each of the glasses then handed me one. “A toast to the best racer of ORIXA. Heck, you’re the best racer in the USRA.” Oh, I thought he was talking about himself for a moment. He always went around boasting to the other teams that he was the best circuit racer.
