Ki's Redemption
by Keri Kruspe
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Sci-Fi Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Sexy Aliens/Sassy Dragons
Earth’s
fate rests in the hands of shape-shifting dragons, studly aliens, and a
determined woman who demands a say in her own fate. In this exciting finale of
the An Alien Exchange trilogy, follow their adventures across the galaxy to a
tale that features mounting action, stimulating passion, and heart-pounding
emotions.
Sherrilyn
Marie Cantor firmly believes success doesn’t come to those who sit around and
wait for it to show up; it takes determination, discipline, and hard work. At
thirty-four, she has it all – a successful business and more money than she can
spend until a jealous partner sets her up and frames her for stealing trade
secrets. She loses everything and faces a twenty-year federal prison sentence.
When an unexpected offer to find “love among the stars” comes her way, she
doesn’t hesitate to escape her unjust fate and leaves Earth forever.
A
Zerin descended from a secretive line of dragon shapeshifters, M’alalu (Ki) Ki
E’eur ignores the fact he’s living a half-life. Broken from childhood guilt for
the murder of his parents and six year-old sister, he silently goes through the
motions of everyday life. A former mercenary and friend of the crown prince of
Zerin, Ki absorbs a debt his prince intended to take. He’s expendable; the
prince isn’t. Now he’s in the crosshairs of a power-hungry despot determined to
overthrow the current democratic galactic government.

EXCERPT TWO:
Being
possessed sucked.
Yep,
she, Sherrilyn Marie Cantor, was possessed—like “demon taking over your body”
type of possessed. Instead of housing a spitting-pea-soup demon, Sherri endured
an unwanted galactic gangster fighting for domination of her body and mind.
From the moment the bubble housing the Dread Pirate Maynwaring popped over her
face and his essence entered her, she’d been fighting for control. So far she’d
kept a tight lid on things, but the whole situation was turning out to be a
huge pain in the ass.
But,
bright side, she had help from her Zerin shipmate, Ki. He’d taught her how to
access the memories of her unwanted guest while at the same time keeping him
locked away. Jeez, the spirit called himself Dread Pirate. What kind of name
was that? Apparently, that wasn’t his original name, but something he’d adopted
after hearing the story of The Princess Bride from a human slave. He’d become
so enamored of the dread pirate character he changed his title.
What
a snowflake.
What’sss
a sssnowflake, human? He asked it in his normal, hissy tone.
How
a disembodied entity had a tone was a mystery to her. He sounded like a snake
with a speech impediment. She created a visual of sticking his stupid forked
tongue between his teeth and clamping his mouth shut then taping it closed.
And, if he called her human in that derogatory manner one more time….
Ki’s
training kicked in. Instead of imagining the pain she’d rather give, she
created a dark, dank pit to throw his happy ass in.
No…no,
don’t ssssnd me there again!
Sherri
imagined throwing his bright orb down a bottomless cavern before rolling an
avalanche of sharp, heavy rocks to cover the hole. Dust billowed up and down
before it settled in a thick layer to create a mountain to contain him. Then
she pictured the mountain folding upon itself, repeatedly, until it was a speck
of light flashing out of her thoughts.
Unfortunately,
this exercise never held him for long. One minute he’d be gone (treasured
silence), and the next, he’d be right back butting in and making snarky
comments every chance he got. You’d think he’d be smart enough to keep his
mouth shut so she didn’t know he was there.
Whoa…where’d
that creepy idea come from? Sometimes the hair on the back of her neck broke
out in chill bumps as if someone looked over her shoulder. What if…what if she
wasn’t aware when he wormed his way out? Was he spying on private intimate
things she was obsessed with…like say, a certain tall, well-built, sexy-as-sin
Zerin named Ki…
Damn
it! She shook her head to get rid of that image. She didn’t trust people outside
of her body, much less the asshole inside. Only constant vigilance on her part
would keep the alien in the hole she’d put it in. Shit, no wonder she was tired
all the time.
Sherri
sat with her feet over the side of the comfortable bed she’d slept in. She had
to admit, she was happy enough with the accommodations aboard the organic AI
ship called “Elemi.” Still, she could do without the snarky attitude the female
contraption gave her all the time. The sleek 11-15 ship apparently came with a
load of baggage, and not the kind Sherri liked to use on vacations.
