Happy Sunday and its time for SexySnippets, where authors share 7-8 lines/sentences of a book or work in progress. My sexy new science fiction romance, Race to Redemption(Green Rising Book #1) released last week from Evernight Publishing.
This scene continues from my last snippet, where Erik needs Lainie’s piloting skills to fly him through a storm to help a child they both love, but she was fighting it. She still is.
Elaina walked away from him, grabbing an Iska feather whip from the sex toy box and slapping it against her hand in a futile attempt to buy herself time to adjust. She knew she had to help Sen but, given how she felt, spending alone time with Erik scared the crap out of her.
“Qirta’s downing miskberries.” Erik got close enough to smell the musky male of him and see the dark flecks in the green of his irises.
“You’re letting her?”
He nodded and that light in his eyes brightened a notch.
“You trust me enough to do this?” Say yes.

Here’s the blurb.
A woman who lost everything
Intergalactic storm racing champion Elaina Carteret had it all—celebrity, wealth, men—until a horrific accident took it away. To get it back, she agrees to pose as Lainie Carter, medical transport pilot and corporate spy. Her risk-taking attitude infuriates Dr. Erik Johansen, who runs the medical outpost with an iron hand, a permanent scowl and the tightest bod on the planet.
A man desperate for redemption
Unable to forgive himself for a past tragedy, Erik works himself into an early grave. He has no patience for the insubordinate Lainie Carter, who can’t take an order, disrupts routine, and flames his body to ash.
A planet at risk
When the outpost is attacked, they’re thrown together in a race across the desert to stop a deadly biogenetic weapon. As a fragile trust blossoms between two damaged hearts, their pasts resurface and threaten their growing bond.
