Book Description:
Most people believe Eden no longer exists. Lexi Merrill’s about to learn they’re wrong. A hard-working bartender with a self-sufficient backbone and a wary nature, she knows pickup lines like a second language. So, when Eryx Shantos barges into her world with too-smooth words and a body to back it up, she locks up her libido and vows to keep her distance.
Eryx has other ideas. As king of the Myren race, Eryx is duty-bound to enforce the laws preventing exposure of their existence to humans. Yet The Fates have led him through his dreams to Lexi, a temptation he doesn’t want to resist. The question—is she Myren, or human - which makes her forbidden fruit?
When Eryx’s nemesis tags Lexi as his next target, Eryx insists on taking her home where he can keep her safe. Lexi had no idea “home” would mean the one-and-only land of creation…or that she’d trigger a prophecy that could doom her newfound race.

Excerpt:
Lexi
high-stepped it down the hall to the room she shared with Eryx. Sconces blazed
to life along the walls with each step, Eryx setting them alight with his mind
to light her way. Providing what you
need.
Ugh. Not
something she could think about right now. His sure, confident strides sounded
behind her. No matter how far ahead she tried to stay, his hunger burned inside
her. Stupid gift. Now that she’d somehow uncorked it, she couldn’t get it
turned it off—and damned if she wasn’t a raging inferno as a result.
She’d thought
asking for time would calm his fears. Maybe ease his foot off the throttle a
little bit. But oh, no. She’d tugged the lion’s tail, tossed out a slab of meat,
and thrown the cage door open wide.
The door to
their room whipped open and thudded against the wall.
She flinched,
but kept going. “You don’t need to be so melodramatic.”
She’d gone for
playful, but ended up sounding like Marilyn Monroe on a heaped-up dose of
Spanish Fly. Moving to the dresser, she tugged off her blue leather sandals.
“Maybe we can rest later and you can teach me how to move things with my mind
instead.”
Eryx ripped his
tank over his head and tossed it to the floor. Smooth muscles, flexing under
tight, tan skin.
She closed her
gaping mouth. Tugged the lion’s tail indeed.
“I thought I’d
give you something else.” He stalked her until her back met the wall and caged
her with arms on either side of her head. “Something that will feed you instead
of drain you.”
He ran his nose
along the column of her neck and inhaled, slow and deep.
Goosebumps
prickled along her forearms and her belly fluttered. “I thought you said I
needed to rest.”
“You need
energy. I’m going to give it to you.” He nipped her earlobe then sucked at the
same spot. “You said you’ve never known family or love.” His hot breath brushed
across her skin and his tongue traced the shell of her ear. “So I’ll give you
that too.”
A blowtorch,
insane, leave-me-here-to-die-in-glory fire blasted from her insides out. Where
the hell was her caution? Her worry?
“I warned you.”
He bit her lower lip and the sting zinged to her nipples. His hands abandoned
the wall and caressed her back, her thin cotton tunic a nearly non-existent
barrier. “You said you could take anything I threw at you.” He whipped the
tunic over her head and the indigo fabric sailed to the floor behind him. “Then
you’ll have me.” His gaze lowered to her bare breasts. “All of me.”
About the Author:
Rhenna never thought a weird dream, a bucket list, and an addiction to romance novels would lead her into publishing, but that’s exactly how Unexpected Eden came to life. Okay, there might have been a jillion revisions in there somewhere, and a few points where her family thought she’d lost her ever-lovin’ mind, but pretty much everyone’s accepted that this author thing is chronic.
When she’s not working on the rest of the Eden books or her naughty contemporary romances, you’ll find her chasing two precious little girls, batting eyelashes at her indulgent husband, or driving with the top down and the music up loud. Oh, and “researching” on the internet. Those half-naked men she uses for inspiration don’t download themselves.
She’d love to share her “research” with you too and get to know you a little better in the process. Find her blog, Facebook, Pinterest, and other social media links at www.rhennamorgan.com. Be sure to sign up for her newsletter there too for snippets, upcoming releases, and author news.
If you enjoyed Unexpected Eden, Eryx and Lexi would sure appreciate it if you shared your review at Goodreads, Amazon, or other favorite online bookstore. Lexi would make you a mean cyber-cocktail in exchange if she didn’t have her hands full with Eryx, but rumor has it they haven’t left the royal suite in days.
