Her kiss might save the world . . .
Unless his kiss kills her first.
It’s been almost two thousand years since the mer-shifter Skyla walked the streets of Athens. But her oceanic studies are interrupted when she is called upon by the god Poseidon to investigate rumors that the world above is being polluted by the magic of creatures from another realm—and worse, that the ocean kingdom of the mer-people might be next.

When her arrival in modern-day Greece leads her to an American detective, Skyla realizes that the magical problem she’s been sent to research is bigger than she anticipated—and that one human’s kisses might be more dangerous to her, and her world, than she ever could have imagined.

#MFRWauthor Mahlee Ashwynne gets ON TARGET on #Thursday13

MFRW author Mahlee Ashwynne hosts Thursday13 today with her latest release.

About the author:
"Writing has been an integral part of my life. I have many plots in the pipeline ... so many and only one life! But I hope to get as many as I can out there either self published or through publishers.
I fell in love with the medieval era. So much fiction that can be interwoven between facts and real people of history! The futuristic aspect of what might be in science fiction drew me like a magnet. I pre empted the popularity of supernatural fiction too with my love for that genre. What I write now reflects my interests."

                          ON TARGET

                                 
                                       Genre science fiction, erotic

 
Blurb
An assassin needs anonymity, loose ends tied up. Svanger slayers have no room for sentiment. Until one woman cracks his icy veneer.

Ace reporter Chaz Halyssion is witness to the assassination of the King of Malthusen. She has it recorded. As one of the few off-worlders there she is under immediate suspicion and on the run. Problem is the real assassin knows she can identify him but he needs her to help him get off-world.

Aldien is the last of the legendary Chameleords. The best at his job in the galaxy. He never leaves anything to chance. Chaz is his last option for escape. She dies once her usefulness is over.

In his darkness Chaz sows a thread of light and hope Aldien needs to extinguish. With regret. In the end he has to choose. He has two options. Kill her, or mind-wipe her and walk away from her forever.

The author shares 13 sentences from On Target:

1 Her family, for all its status and importance, wouldn’t stand by her or disrupt their lives for her well-being.

2 Somehow she needed to glide through the night, unrecognised, and make it to board the starflight home

3 As a Svanger slayer he must preserve invisibility, nothing to connect him to a completed mission.

4 Before she hit the floor the same arms that held her captive caught her and lifted her against a leather-clad chest.

5 “My murder. Or is rape your motivation? That’s what you want,” she spat out in a bitter whisper.

6 “It’s a long ride to the starport. You won’t be able to evade capture and detention alone. Not many survive questioning, particularly where it concerns the death of their king.”

7 “Yeah, right. Obviously you have something bigger than your ego they desire. Your natural charm leaves much to the imagination.” The fiend was enjoying this.

8 “Listen closely. I’m telling you only once. This day has been hell. I got squashed in crowds, singed by stray laser fire, turned into a fugitive, ran until my lungs gave up, found myself a seedy room, attacked by you, then my senses assaulted and aroused.” She flexed her nails into his skin to emphasise her demand. “ I want. You give. Got it?”

9 By taking his body unconditionally she seduced his mind.

10 “Strange woman. Naked you didn’t have any pretensions. Dressed, you have reservations about getting up close. I don’t think either of us is in a condition to indulge in wild uninhibited sex in this tight space. And you are the one in danger of succumbing to an illness.”

11 “Chameleord. It gave my race the means to disguise themselves in other appearances, including a change of eye colour. Mine are predominantly blue-based. However, I can achieve amber, brown, emerald greens and any other variation I can see.”

12 There was no room for sentimentality or any other emotion. She had to die.

13 Damned if he killed her, damned if he let her live. Either way there was a wound within him that would never heal."

A Dozen Quirky Questions... A Dozen Quick Answers...

PEN & PAPER OR COMPUTER?
I write my first drafts with pen and paper then type it into my laptop to edit.

FRUIT OR CHOCOLATE?

COFFEE OR TEA?
I am definitely a tea drinker, herbal, green and white teas begin my day.

CITY OR COUNTRY?
Cities are great to visit but I prefer the quiet of the country to keep my sane.

REVIEW
"The level of sensuality is perfect: not overdone, just romantic and gently sensual. He is the sexy alpha male; she is a sweet and somewhat shy woman who is a bit in awe of this impressive star and dedicated philanthropist." - Julie, 5 stars

EXCERPT

He followed the priest to a courtyard. A young woman sat beside a storm-crushed rose bed. Deshi guessed her to be American, in her early twenties. “Who she, Father?”
“No one knows, not even her.”
The supplies had gone so fast. They had only been to six of the eleven shelters and there were so many people still in need. “Maybe one more thing I can do today,” Deshi said with a sigh. “Father?”
The priest’s right hand clutched the large cross at his neck and he smiled. “Yes, my son?”
“I will take her.”
