Tales
of the Citadel 21
Control over the elements is dull until a
man walks onto her world and makes her senses burn.
Vexaniali has spent her life in solitude,
finding ways to entertain herself on an empty world that has become her prison.
She was ordered to keep anyone from landing, but it was just a make-work job to
keep her out of the way.
Burn arrives and offers her a chance to use
her skills on a variety of worlds under the aegis of the Citadel Arcani.
Moving a cure around a world using her
mastery of air is time consuming and tiring but not difficult. It is a good
start, and when Burn offers himself to top up her flagging energies, how could
she refuse?

Genre: Erotic Contemporary, Older Woman/Younger ManForty-five-year-old Dana Markus knows a full moon makes people act crazy. It’s why they call the power company with stories about aliens disrupting the earth’s climate. It probably explains why her ex-husband left her for a girl scarcely older than their college-age daughter. It definitely accounts for why she impulsively invited the neighbor’s hunk of a son over for a skinny-dip. And why 28-year-old Lon Corbin accepted.Lon doesn’t think much of the mass of rock orbiting the earth, but he does think he’s the luckiest man alive when the sexy divorcee he’s admired from afar invites him into her pool. He knows she has reservations about their age difference, but he’s planning to show her in a very physical way how good they could be together if she’ll give him the chance.But when their simmering private passion boils over into a public relationship, family pressures and schemes threaten to split the couple apart.The moon brought them together -- but can it save them?Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual situations, graphic language, and material that some readers may find objectionable: voyeurism.Review"A thrilling and romantic story filled with adventure, passion and touching emotion; a story that they can lose themselves in right from the very beginning. The well-written plot can only be described as steamy, entertaining, dramatic and full of remarkably realistic and well-planned twists and turns within the story making the characters as well as their feelings and actions ring true to life."
