What's your Holiday obsession?

Tomorrow starts the countdown to Christmas. Advent Calendars will be brought out and children will eagerly mark off another day in anticipation of getting their little obsessions. What is it you're obsessing about this year? A diamond necklace, earrings, Pandora jewelry? Perhaps your tastes run to the more practical and you're dying to get a Kindle or Nook loaded with steamy hot romances to warm you on these cold wintery nights.

Well, here's one guaranteed to get your pulse racing. Bittersweet Obsessions is a contemporary erotic romance novel with light soft sci-fi and light paranormal elements. Imagine, if you will, a humanoid species of aliens living among us, as much a part of our society as any other immigrant. So like us, there's been intermarriage between them and Humans for decades.

What makes them unique to us is subtle. Honeyed skin tones, slightly pointed ear lobes. Oh, and the ability to communicate telepathically. They can even share dreams, project visions, and their ultimate mating ritual involves "heartglow" when love is combined with intense desire.

Bittersweet Obsessions blurb:
Three men. One woman. Which will trigger her obsession?

When it comes to love, they believe in one perfect mate,


but putting the centuries-old belief to the test


could bring them everything they desire.

In a culture where it’s believed each person has only one life-mate, what happens when yours is beyond your reach? Teriza feels the mating call to a man married to a Human. Unwilling to be the cause of infidelity, Teriza distances herself from her mate after an intense pheromone-charged encounter that leaves her in precarious health. She requires treatment and is sent to a clinic in Switzerland, where sexual surrogates are employed to heal such conditions.

After Paul Craddock’s life-mate died, he turned to surrogacy to ease the pain of loneliness. His reaction to Teriza surprises him by being more than a casual attraction. He’s intrigued to discover she feels the same. They experiment with the Human way of courtship, but the ultimate bond that Crainesians experience eludes them.

Teriza fears Paul cannot be content with her since he’s experienced heartglow during his previous marriage. Paul worries that the existence of Teriza’s life mate makes him the consolation prize, good enough, but not her first choice.
Though they are falling in love, they’re in uncharted territory without the engulfing pheromone storm of life-mates to guide them. Will they learn to trust their feelings and listen to their hearts before it’s too late?
