Please welcome Dark Sider DJ Michaels to help celebrate her debut release, Enforcer's Craving, which is out now with Ellora's Cave! Congratulations, DJ! Please tell us a little about your book.
Enforcer’s Craving is my first foray into erotic romance – and I
went the whole hog by making it a ménage! It’s classed as sci-fi (because the
action occurs on a planet far far away) but there are strong fantasy elements
in the story. The world in which our heroine finds herself is free of
technology and our heroes are warrior dragon riders. But don’t let that trick
you into thinking they are backward in any way. These boys are sophisticated
and sexy (at least, I think they are
anyway).

A Romantica® futuristic ménage erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave
Excerpt:
The
thick forest stopped all of a sudden, as if a giant had sliced it with a knife
and scraped away the excess. Between one step and the next Chelsea was out of
the greenery and standing on fine white sand with the sun glaring down on her
head and shoulders. The beach stretched as far as she could see in either
direction, and it was a good fifty meters from where she stood down to the dark
blue lake.
But the beautiful scenery
was a mere backdrop for what really caught her attention. Dragons. What seemed
like hundreds of them. Huge, dark, mean-looking dragons with snapping teeth and
whiplash tails. Every one of them was the size of a small plane and they came
in monochrome shades ranging from pale gray to blue-black.
She hugged the treeline, not taking
her eyes off the action at the shallows of the lake. There were half-naked men
in the water with the dragons, scrubbing them down and washing their wings but
it didn’t seem to stop the dragons snapping and snarling at each other at
random intervals.
A man separated himself from the
group, wading out of the water and jogging in her direction. The moment she
realized it was Tarkan, she was so grateful to see a familiar face she didn’t
quite register the fact that he was almost naked. But as he got closer the sun
glistened off his wet, copper-colored skin and she realized his tiny black
shorts did nothing to hide the glory of his body.
My
god, he’s perfect. Broad shoulders, deep chest, ten-pack abs and huge arms and legs. He
had no hair on his body and every muscle was so clearly delineated he could
have posed for an anatomy poster. His blue hair was slicked close to his head
and threw his extraordinary facial features into sharp relief.
He
drew to a halt a mere half step from her, his cognac-brown eyes sparkling.
Tarkan took a deep breath and his
voice rumbled out, low and sexy. “You came. I wondered if you would.”
She tried to keep her eyes on his
face, truly she did but she was a chest and shoulder girl from way back. His
naked torso was making it hard to concentrate. “I would have come sooner,” she
said. “But they kept a really close eye on us. I had to sneak out of the dormatory.”
“No matter. You’re here now.” He
closed the distance between them, near enough that her breasts almost brushed
his damp body. Leaning down he whispered in her ear. “Have you come to ask for
my help?”
Her whole body jerked and for a
moment she thought she was having a seizure, then her nipples hardened and her core
throbbed and she realized what the sensation was. Lust. Pure and not simple,
and certainly not welcome. She kept her gaze fixed on the drool-worthy expanse
of his pecs and fisted her hands in her skirts, gripping on for dear life. “Yes,
I’ve come to you for help.”
He lifted a large, warm hand to rest
on the side of her waist, not gripping her, just resting it there. It felt like
a brand, searing her skin through three layers of cloth and all her sensible
intentions. Then his hand slid a little lower, his thumb lightly pressing
against her hipbone. “Are you willing to pay the price, Chelsea?”
About
DJ Michaels:
Books have always
been my refuge, a bit (okay, a lot) like an adult cubbyhouse. When real life
gets too much—or too little—I can delve into my library and be utterly
transported to places familiar and exotic. I can also meet the kind of people
I’d never come across in my normal life, which is not always a bad thing.
These days not only
do I get to visit other writers’ worlds, but I get to create my own—worlds
chock full of sexy warrior men; strong, capable women; and oh yes, let’s not
forget the dragons. My cubbyhouse is very cool, the door is always open for
visitors, and new friends are most welcome.
