Miners of Djaronmir: Sparx

Book excerpt: Schooled by the harshness of Djaromir, Warlord Sparx of Fyeir believes women to be a distraction he can’t—and won’t—allow himself. His focus needs to be on the city he rules and their progress into the future, not on coddling a sensitive human female. As warlord, he’ll do his duty and help match his men to their future brides but has no intent in joining their happily mated ranks. Then, he sees Lucy. One glance at the sweet little female and his fate is sealed—whether he wants it to be or not. Burning with the need to claim his tempting mate, Sparx tries to hold strong but can't resist his powerful attraction to the newly arrived, fragile female. He can only hope the risk is worth it in the end. Nicknamed “Lucy Goosey” for her tendency to wreak havoc in almost any situation, Lucy had begun to wonder if her streak of unfortunate catastrophes would ever end. Unlucky at literally everything, she knew a change was needed if she’d ever get what she wanted out of life. Crossing her fingers that Earth was the jinx, Lucy and her best friend take a leap of faith and catch a ride to the distant mining planet advertising for mates. She knew it sounded absolutely bonkers, but she’d give just about anything for a chance to have what seemed to only happen in romance novels. Considering the chaos that normally follows her around, she’s holding her breath in hopes that maybe this time will be different. On the harsh world of Djaromir, surrounded by dangers at literally every step, is it possible that Lucy can feel safe being her normally clumsy self? Will she find her happily-ever-after in the massive arms of the imposing Warlord or will her bad luck mean a one-way ticket home?
