Enjoy the excerpt!
LOST IN STARLIGHT
A
streak of light moves rapidly across the sky, and then fades out suddenly.
“Did
you see that?” I ask, excitedly. “It was a shooting star. We should make a
wish.”
Hayden
smiles and says in a low tone, “You do realize a shooting star is actually just
a meteoroid. No more than a tiny fragment that’s the left over dust from a
comet. It’s those pieces that can travel at great speeds—”
“Hayden,
seriously? An astronomy lesson? Why can’t you just see how beautiful and
amazing the stars are? Maybe it’s a sign.”
“A
sign of what?”
I
turn away, but I can’t hide the red glow that warms my face. “You know, like
fate or something.”
“I
suppose…” he pauses, staring up into the darkness. “Is there some rhyme we need
to say or something to make sure our wish comes true?”
A
slow grin spreads across my face. Hayden’s actually indulging me, and not
getting all Mr. Mature Mega-Brainiac for a change.
“No.
Just make a wish.”
“Should
we do it at the same time?” he asks.
My
smile widens. “Sure.”
He
closes his eyes, with an amused grin playing across his sexy features. I close
mine, too and make a wish.
“So, how does this work? Do we tell each other
what we wished for? Or won’t it come true?” he asks.
I
open my eyes and look at him. “Hush! I’m wishing and I can’t concentrate with
you asking so many questions.”
“I’ll
wait.” He whistles a soft tune, then laces his fingers together and tucks them
behind his head.
“You’re
impossible!” I laugh and playfully swat at him.
“Share
time?” His eyes twinkle. “Is it safe now?”
“We
both saw the shooting star, so I think it’s all right to share our wishes,” I
say. “What was yours?”
His
gaze rests on my mouth, and his tongue darts out, wetting his lips. “I’d rather
you went first.”
My
cheeks heat. “It’s kind of embarrassing…”
“You
can tell me anything.” He looks up at the twinkling starlight and sighs deeply.
A long pause glides between us, then without looking at me, he whispers,
“Sloane, of the millions of stars up in the sky, none of them will ever shine
as brightly as you.”

VOLUME ONE: Starlight Saga
High school reporter Sloane Masterson knows she has
one helluva story when she witnesses hottie Hayden Lancaster bending forks
with his mind.
Like any good journalist, Sloane sets out to
uncover the truth, even if it includes a little stalking. When the superhuman
feats start to pile up and the undeniable heat rises between them, Hayden has
no choice but to reveal his secret: he’s an alien hybrid.
They’re
as different as night and day—she’s a curvy, purple-haired, horror junkie and
he’s a smoking hot, antisocial, brainiac—yet the intense fascination between
them refuses to go away. Even at Hayden’s insistence that dating each other is
“off limits” and crazy dangerous, their fiery attraction threatens to go
supernova.
Now
Sloane’s dealing with creepy government agents, über snobby extraterrestrials,
and a psycho alien ex-girlfriend out for revenge. After a crash course on the
rules of interstellar dating, Sloane must decide if their star-crossed romance
is worth risking her own life....
