SFFS: Snippet #3 from Ambasadora Book 1: Marked by Light

Image
AMBASADORA Book 1: Marked By Light DESCRIPTION: If everyone told you love wasn't real, would you still be willing to die for it? Sara Mendoza is captured, tortured, and falsely accused of treason by the Embassy, but she is given a chance to win back her freedom. She only needs to charm information from one of the fragger leaders, then kill him. But by the time she figures out the Embassy's intel is flawed and that Sean Cryer is her true mark, she's already in love with him. Sean knows why Sara is on his ship from the start, but as a lonely, anti-social doser, he doesn't value his life, only his ideology within the fragger organization. Against his better judgment, he becomes her protector, each day caring more about a future he was always afraid to hope for.

STARRIE 1.7 Enjoy some Science Fiction Adventure from the Ambasadora-verse! I'm posting my novel Starrie in order starting from chapter one. This is post seven. Read the rest of the story so far here. And, check out other wonderful posts at the SFR Brigade . STARRIE (FROM THE WORLD OF AMBASADORA) by Heidi Ruby Miller It was damn uncomfortable being buffeted by stronger and colder winds the higher they rose. Ben thought he discerned strains of muffled beats and human voices. He caught Matt's gaze long enough to confirm the occasional echo of music traveling on the icy wind. A warning to outsiders? Or nonchalance, proof that Stavros felt secure in his compound? By the time they reached the underhang and activated their boots' crampon extensions, the music flowed freely, almost vibrating through the rock.
