Welcome Veronica Scott author of Danger in the Stars, a new scifi
romance.
Why did you write
this book?
When I was writing Star Cruise: Stowaway for the ‘Pets In
Space’ anthology last year, I had the premise of an empathic alien priestess
stolen from her own world and sold to an interstellar crime syndicate, forced
to do their bidding. In that novella, the story was about the woman’s escape
with the help of my ship’s crew and two pets. When I finished writing that one,
I started thinking about a sister, also held as a prisoner, but not lucky
enough to escape. How would it be for her, to be in the midst of the criminal
operations, trying to stay true to her own values, but forced to commit crimes?
Who would help her? Conor, the hero, came into my head and said, “I will.”
He’s a comple man of many secrets, but no spoilers from me!
What is your favorite
genre to read?
I love science fiction romance, but I read voraciously,
everything from Regency romances to romantic suspense with Navy SEALs.
Who is your favorite
character from fiction (not including your own)?
I love Nalini Singh’s Arrows in her Psy-Changeling series,
and of that group, Judd is still my favorite.
What are you working
on at the moment?
I’ve got two things going on – a paranormal novel set in
ancient Egypt and a new scifi romance. I don’t usually try to juggle telling
two stories at once but the Egyptian tale came to me one night completely
plotted and so I figured I’d better write it!
What books will we see from you in coming months?
In May I’ll be releasing a volume of three scifi romance
stories, which were previously only available in anthologies, and then of
course the two new books I talked about in the previous question will come out
in the summer.
Please tell us about
your latest book.

Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13
Miriell, a powerful empathic priestess, has been kidnapped
from her own primitive planet along with a number of her people, and sold to
the evil Amarotu Combine, largest organized crime syndicate in the Sectors.
When she and her handler are sent to use her power to commit an assassination,
she must leave behind her own sister as hostage to ensure her compliance.
Miriell cannot ask for aid without endangering herself and others.
Despite his best efforts, Combine enforcer Conor Stewart is
entranced by Miriell, and helps her evade the worst of brutal treatment from
the rest of the mob. But Conor must keep his distance, before the lovely empath
learns that he has secrets of his own–secrets that could get them both killed.
The situation becomes dire when Conor and Miriell come to
the attention of both the Combine overlords and the deadly Mawreg, aliens who
threaten the Sectors. Can she save herself and the Mawreg’s next victims? And
will Conor help her, or remain loyal to his evil bosses?
