~ Blurb ~

In the future, be careful who you trust.
* Nathaniel Stockton and Grover Silas Ranger are faced with the ultimate test to their relationship when the Project Mars Lottery comes to town. Nate wins a chance to have his dreams come true: live and work on the red planet with his love. His husband Ranger doesn’t see the point of going from one bad place to another. But an evil organization called Sector has a completely different idea for the couple.
* Kidnapped, experimented on, impregnated, and sent to Mars, Nate realizes too late he trusted the wrong people.
* Ranger fights to find a way to Nate. Will he make it to his love before their dreams and lives are irrevocably broken by distance, a pregnancy, and the corrupt agency?

~ Excerpt ~

* The phone rang, dragging Nate from his thoughts.
* “I’m gonna put it on screen,” Ranger called out from the kitchen.
* “Sure.”
* The wall flashed to life, and a dark-haired man with dark eyes, appeared. The stranger reminded Nate of the doctor at the lottery exams—lab coat, stethoscope, well-groomed—but this man was older and seemed to have an edge to him.
* “Hey,” Nate greeted. “What can I do for you?”
* “Am I speaking with Nathaniel Curtis Stockton?”
* “Yeah.” Nate took a swig of his drink.
* “Wonderful.” The man smiled but the expression didn’t reach his eyes. “I am Doctor Rafael Trask. I am one of the lead scientists in a series of special clinical studies being performed. I understand you failed the medical section of the lottery exams?”
* “Yeah.” The guy’s voice sounded cool … exact. Combined with the discord of his face, Nate sensed an air of danger surrounding the man. Creeped out, Nate was hesitant to say too much.
* “Well, first off, let me say, we are not associated with the lottery. But should you participate in our studies you may have another chance at traveling to and settling on Mars. We also offer outstanding compensation. Despite whether you are or are not picked for travel, you will pretty much be set for life.”
* Ranger strolled into the room and sat beside Nate, twirling the comm-wand between his fingers. “What are these studies?”
* The man’s eyes narrowed. “Who are you?”
* “His husband,” Ranger answered. “Whatever he’s to be involved in, wherever he’s going, I’ll be at his side. What’s all this about?”
* Doctor Trask leaned back in his chair and steepled his fingers together. He looked down his nose at the camera on his comm device, appearing to contemplate what Ranger had said and giving Ranger a once-over. The doctor reminded Nate of a vulture.
* “Okay,” Trask said. “Like I was about to mention to Mister Stockton, we are trying to find cures for people who did not pass the medical aspects of the lottery exams due to their diseases. We are also looking into the sterility epidemic and chromosomal changes in the female population.”
* “Could you hold a moment?” Nate asked, grabbing the wand from Ranger and muting the call. He pointed the wand at the screen. “Do you think this is legit?”
* “Yeah. It could be.”
* “It might be the answer to our Mars problem.” Nate smiled, feeling a glimmer of warm hope spring up within him again.
* “Perhaps. Should we see what’s what with it?”
* Nate unmuted the call. “What if we say we’re interested?”
* The doctor lifted a corner of his mouth. “I will digitize a package of information to you, and then we will be in touch with further instructions.”
* “Well,” Ranger said, “count us interested.”
* “Wonderful,” the doctor drawled.

His Christmas Cabin
Surviving Romance Book 1
by Rae B. Lake

Abi is a scared, battered woman who wants nothing more than to just start over. Rebel comes from old money and has spent his entire life guarded and suspicious of anyone who tried to get close to him.
A freak snowstorm on the brink of the Christmas holiday leaves them stranded in a run-down hunting cabin with very little food and no way of reaching the outside world. Together they fight through the cruelty of mother nature, the uncertainty of their circumstance and the anger of an ex that won’t take no for an answer.
Will this be enough for Rebel to open up and see what true love really looks like and will Abi be able to fight past her own fears.
***DISCLAIMER***
STRONG DOMESTIC VIOLENCE TOPICS/TRIGGERS INCLUDED
**Only 99 cents!!**
Fighting a Nightmare
Surviving Romance Book 2
Abi thought she was free. She thought she found true love in a hunting cabin over the Christmas holiday. She thought Rebel Rivers was her future. She was so wrong. After a surprise attack leaves her laid up in the hospital, she has more questions than she does answer. The number one question on her mind. Where is Rebel?
Now Abi is right back where she started. Abused and a prisoner with no one to call on for help. Robert is determined to keep her as his captive no matter the cost. If he can’t have her, no one can.
Will Abi be strong enough to fight even when it seems she is all alone.

Surviving His Romance
Surviving Romance Book 3
Rebel is the monster.
At least that is what the police and lawyers think. They caught him with the gun in his hand and my ex bleeding on the ground from a gunshot wound. They can’t see who the real bad guy is, that don’t know Robert behind the false tears and heartfelt pleas. He is the real
monster.
Rebel now has to face the possibility of spending a long time behind bars because they think they know the nightmare that I have had to face. He swears to me that he still loves me and that nothing that Robert could put us through will change the way he feels about me but how can that be true, I have brought nothing but drama, heartache and pain into his gold sparkling world.
Robert thinks that he can manipulate everyone around him to do as he pleases, but not me. Not anymore.
I will survive.
**Only 99 cents!!**
Rae is a daydreamer, nurse, bookworm, nature enthusiast, wife, momma, animal activist and an optimist. She has lived her entire life in NYC and loves to travel with her family. She believes that sweets should have a larger piece of the nutritional pyramid and that Buffy the Vampire Slayer was one of the best TV shows ever invented. When she is not working as a nurse in her community, she can either be found reading, writing, or taking a walk while listening to music. She has been writing books in her mind for as long as she can remember but decided that maybe there were others out in the world that would find joy in the words she would put down on the page.

* It’s been a long time since I did a post that didn’t have to do with a book. But better late than never, eh?
* For those who follow me on Instagram & Twitter (don’t yet? click on the info to the right –>) you know that along with writing I’ve been painting. Picked up the hobby a few years ago and started learning by watching A LOT of videos, reading websites, picking up & reading some books (of course), and lots and lots of trial and error. I feel that I’ve slowly been getting better while I’m trying to find my “voice” in this colorful art form.
* Now, “poetry?” you ask. Yeah. Used to write quite a bit of poetry when I was younger. But then I morphed in to horror stories and then romance and now it’s a smattering of many genres with and without romantic elements. Anyway, as I was watching one of my favorite teaches on YouTube

a free style poem came to mind so I wrote it down. I then found some time in the past few days and painted the piece. Today, I wanted to share the finished products.

Butterfly Wings
Do you remember the days
We sat beneath our favorite tree
Watching the birds and clouds float by
Lazy days of spring and summer
Just you and I enjoying a love
That we’d imagined would last forever
~ *~
Don’t let the divide take us
Don’t let the endless night break us
Send me a sign your always by my side
Let me hear the songbirds sing
Let me feel the butterfly wings
~ *~
Do you remember the nights
Making love upon the hill
Sheltered by the branches
Of the tree your granny had planted
Wrapped in each other’s arms
Enjoying a love that wouldn’t do us wrong
~ *~
Don’t let the divide take us
Don’t let the endless night break us
Send me a sign your always by my side
Let me hear the songbirds sing
Let me feel the butterfly wings
Oh, let me hear you sing again
Let me feel your touch
Like butterfly wings
Once more
