"The Awakening of Power and Pleasure"

Rayven knew she was different from a young age. So intelligent she topped even the highest scores intellectually, so powerful she struck fear into the hearts of those who would capture her.

Rayven's destiny is one of power and one of strength. The daughter of alien Awares who was sent to Earth in a desperate bid to hide her from the enemies destroying their people, until the time would come that she could be retrieved, returned to her people, and taught the power she would need to lead them to victory. For it was foreseen, Rayven's power would be the ultimate weapon against those who have nearly decimated an entire race.

Draco, now the leader of the last surviving Aware, is merely awaiting the day when it is safe to collect the young Empress and return her to her people. But even more, he awaits the day when he can claim her as his mate, for she was always destined to be held within his arms.

When Rayven is captured by their enemies, Draco knows he must act now. Flying desperately to her aid, he rescues her at the last moment, and wings her through a dimensional gateway to the planet the surviving Aware have taken as their last refuge. Here, amid the lush beauty of a new world, Rayven awakes to both her power and her sensuality. Under the expert tutelage of the man chosen as her mate, she will delve into the secrets of her power, and the mysteries of her most erotic desires.

RAYVEN'S AWAKENING is a masterfully written science fantasy that will draw you from your everyday humdrum existence and catapult you into a world that will fire both your blood and your imagination.
