The Vessel
by Nancy Fraser
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Sci-Fi
Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Major
Liam McGregor is a career soldier. Chosen by the leader of the United Republic
to transport a government protectee to safety, Liam takes on a task that has
cost his predecessors their very lives.
Alora
of Delawon is an alien princess who holds the key to the survival of mankind.
With the women of the United Republic left barren by previous chemical warfare,
Alora’s ability to bear humanoid children makes her the government’s most
valuable commodity.
Together,
Liam and Alora make the trek from the government’s safe house back toward the
current capitol, fighting off raiders, survivalists, and an unexpected
attraction to one another.
Will
their desires put them in danger? Or, will their being together become more
important than the mission?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT TWO:
Liam
took a seat behind the desk and sank into the soft leather of the
non-military-issue chair. Closing his eyes, he leaned back against the
cushioned headrest and waited for the arrival of his charge.
“This
is the man who’s supposed to protect me?”
Liam’s
eyes snapped open, his gaze coming to rest on the tall, curvy fempod in front
of him. Were it not for the unusual blue tint to her skin, and her multicolored
hair, she looked almost human.
Dr.
Williams snickered. “Cut the boy some slack, Alora. Major McGregor’s been
traveling for days just to get here.”
“He
looks rather lazy to me,” Alora said, her sarcastic jab lost amid the smoky,
honey-and-whiskey quality of her voice.
Liam
shook his head, dislodging both her unusual appearance and sexy voice from his
thoughts. “Sorry to disappoint you, Alora of Dela...uh..Dela−ˮ
“Delawon,”
she bit out. “Alora, second daughter of the first house of Delawon.”
Oh
great! She has a title, too. His jaw clenched. He’d been assigned escort duty
for a sarcastic alien princess. A fact both Barrow and his boss had failed to
mention.
“If
you two will excuse me,” Dr. Williams said, motioning toward the lab, “I’ve got
work to do.” Exiting the cramped, six-by-six office, Williams shut the door
behind him.
Alora
seated herself in the chair opposite his, raised her head, and met his gaze.
Her eyes, a darker shade of blue than her skin, sparked with amusement. “So,
how does this work?” she asked. “You stuff me in the back of your assault
wagon, and I cower in fear until we reach the government’s precious medical
lab?”
The
thought of stuffing her in the cargo hold of the Humvee was not without merit.
“No.
I was planning on letting you sit up front with me. However, if you’d prefer
something more contained, I can arrange it.”
“What
I’d prefer,” she said, a long sigh accentuating her words, “is transport back
to Tethys. The sooner the better.”
He
shrugged, taking care to emphasize the lift and fall of his shoulders in order
to convey his disinterest. “Sorry. I left Betsy in the garage back in Traverse
City and drove here instead.”
“Betsy?”
“My
intersystem shuttle. I thought landing it near this rather obscure location
might draw unwanted attention. Not that the steel fences and guardhouse haven’t
already given the location away.”
She
raised and lowered her gaze, measuring him from head to mid-chest before being
interrupted by the top of the cluttered desk. “Are you capable of protecting
me, Major McGregor? Your government’s record in that regard is shaky at best.”
He
gave her the same up-and-down perusal then wished he hadn’t. Despite her alien
origin, she was one fine-looking woman.

AUTHOR BIO:
Like
most authors, Nancy Fraser began
writing at an early age, usually on the walls and with crayons or, heaven
forbid, permanent markers. Her love of writing often made her the English
teacher’s pet, which, of course, resulted in a whole lot of teasing. Still, it
was worth it.
Published
in multiple genres, Nancy currently writes for four publishers. She has
published twenty-four books in both full-length and novella format. In November
2016 Nancy celebrated twenty years as a published author and will release her
25th book in mid-2017.
When
not writing (which is almost never), Nancy splits her free time between her
five grandchildren. She’s also an avid traveler with Las Vegas being her
favorite destination. Nancy lives in Atlantic Canada where she enjoys the
relaxed pace and colorful people.
