Book Name: Mending the Rift
Release Date: March 14, 2016
In a future where man’s ability to reproduce is severely compromised, humanity has adapted to survive. Breeders—male and female—have become precious commodities, and they are strictly guarded and subject to limitations.
Luca Walker is a breeder. Though he knows what’s expected of him as the youngest son of the Northern Confederacy’s Vice President, he’s held out against the pressures of an arranged marriage because he longs to marry for love, not duty. But he’s been promised to Colonel Liam Smith and there’s little he can do about it, no matter that Luca is secretly in love with his bodyguard, Marcus Gray.
When Luca finds himself pregnant with Marcus’s baby, Smith is furious and vows to take what is his—by force, if necessary. Now Luca must fight for his life and the life of his unborn child… as well as the love of Marcus and the happily ever after he’s always dreamed of.

Excerpt:
Marcus rappelled off and stepped onto the
ground with a crunch of his boots. Pointing at the opening with the askew
ladder, he asked, “Don’t tell me you seriously considered climbing down this
way.”
Luca shrugged. “I’d have preferred
spontaneous levitation, but it didn’t happen.”
He yelped when Marcus put an arm around
his torso and lifted him to his feet, as if he weighed nothing. “Hey!”
Marcus silenced him with a glare, and
Luca gritted his teeth while Marcus thumped dust off his clothes. “Your father
is livid.”
Luca swallowed. He’d expected worried,
maybe a bit mad, but livid? His father never got furious at him. Not for long,
anyway. Being the baby of the family had its perks. “Why?”
“Why?
Seriously, Luca, you have to ask why?” Marcus patted Luca’s behind more firmly
than was strictly necessary.
Luca shifted, trying to get away from
Marcus’s arm. When that didn’t help, he slapped Marcus’s hands away and stepped
aside. He couldn’t think when he was so close to Marcus—when the man touched
him, he sent shivers up and down his spine. He ignored the glower Marcus
directed at him. “Yes, seriously. He knows I don’t want to marry Smith. I don’t
want anything to do with all that shit. I want to decide what I’m going to do
with my life.”
Marcus shook his head. “Smith is a good
man. My brother Kyle worked for him. He said he always treated his people well.
If you want I could try to get Kyle on the phone so you can talk to him. That
is, if I can get a hold on him. Trust me, you’ll be in good hands.”
“You don’t get it! I don’t want to be in
good hands!”
“No?” Marcus raised an eyebrow.
Luca huffed, a small smile forming on his
lips. “Well, yes, of course I want to be in good hands. But I want someone to
love me, and not just for my ability
to become pregnant. I want… you.”
Luca’s heart thundered in his rib cage.
There, he’d said it. The ball was in Marcus’s court. Sure, it had only been one
night, and Marcus’s reaction afterward hadn’t been promising, but maybe he’d
just been scared? Maybe he feared to lose his job? Nonetheless, there was more
going on between them, and they both knew it. That one night had just been the
last logical step. Luca regretted nothing.
For a moment Marcus seemed startled, and
there was a softness in his eyes that was solely reserved for Luca. The
softness vanished too quickly for Luca’s liking.
Instead, Luca was greeted with Marcus’s
usual, scrutinizing gaze. “You don’t want me, and you better never mention this
again. It was a mistake. Now get it out of your head and be a good boy.”
