Sharing excerpts from my new release, JAMOKAN: A BADARI WARRIORS SCIFI ROMANCE NOVEL. Starting right at the beginning:

When had he and Aydarr stopped being equals? When had he slipped down the dominance rank?

The day Aydarr’s human mate set Jamokan and his pack free in return for his allegiance to her and Aydarr. He’d had no choice but to agree—he had to save the lives of his men and cubs so he knelt to Jill and gave his word.

But perhaps Aydarr and I were never actually equal, no matter how it galls me to consider the idea.

Jamokan, acknowledged Alpha of the canid-descent pack of Badari Warriors, watched the man at the head of the table as he ran the meeting, not even making any particular effort to project his dominance, although the effects were felt by every Badari in the room. No one could ever forget who the unquestionable Supreme Alpha was. Even the humans sensed Aydarr’s power, or so it was said.

Jamokan had had this same debate with himself more than once since his kind gained their freedom and fled the deadly Khagrish labs, to shelter in this sanctuary valley and wage war on their old nemesis like true insurgents. No one questioned Jamokan’s status as a powerful Alpha, leader of fearsome warriors. Aydarr acknowledged him and his contributions but…he was undeniably second.

No, third. Jamokan’s attention shifted to Daegan, the newly arrived Alpha of the South Seas pack. The islander was only slightly less dominant than Aydarr. To be honest with himself, Jamokan thought the outcome would be uncertain if the two of them ever faced off.

VS Note: So what’s an Alpha to do when he feels his place in the heirarchy slipping? We’ll get to that in future excerpts…

JAMOKAN: A BADARI WARRIORS SCIFI ROMANCE NOVEL (SECTORS NEW ALLIES SERIES BOOK 13) 

Badari Alpha Jamokan and his pack are growing discontented in the sanctuary valley, tired of coming in second place to the pushy new South Seas pack when it comes to assignments and everything else. On top of the discord within his pack, Jamokan is distracted by the search for the right woman to be a proper Alpha’s mate to partner with him in combat and in everyday life. Even the Badari goddess is warning him in visions that he and his pack are on the wrong path for a happy future. In desperation, he receives permission to take his entire pack north to the mountains for a two week hunting expedition, where he hopes to use the time and rugged surroundings to settle the soldiers down and restore order and discipline.

And figure out his own future.

When his men unexpectedly locate a hidden Khagrish lab, he goes to investigate and see if there are humans to be rescued. Little does he suspect he’ll be called upon to break one of the highest commandments of the Badari packs and bring a new disaster to those who look to him for leadership.

Before she became a Khagrish prisoner, Rosemari Parcher was a hydroponics technician on a gritty colony world, who unexpectedly won a planetwide contest. Tapped to receive her heart’s desire and move to a totally different life in the luxurious Inner Sectors, her life had become a happy dream. Kidnapped in space by enemy aliens and given to the Khagrish, she and other humans are the unwilling subjects of a bizarre medical experiment where a quick death seems to be her only hope. Rescued by Jamokan and his pack, she finds herself deeply attracted to the Alpha but the devious Khagrish aren’t through with Rosemari or the experiment.
