I'm happy to tease you today with some samples from a good friend of mine. DL Jackson, the author of one of my favorite books, Cinderella Wore Combat Boots. This is the first of three Tuesday Teasers I'm seducing you with.
ENJOY!

Blurb:
Ava has lived her entire life fighting
for freedom against an oppressive government. When she falls for a man who
stands on the opposite side of the line she’s drawn, all she’s worked for may
vanish, including her future with a Regulator who she has no business loving.
Excerpt:
Seth slammed his
hand into the gel pad, releasing the lock to the hanger that housed Ava’s ship.
The steel blast door slid open and Ava whipped around, her back to an engine
compartment where she’d been working. A smudge of something black streaked
across one cheek, and her hair hung loose around her shoulders. She wore a red
thermal shirt, tan canvas pants, and black boots that stopped just above her
knees, looking every bit the smuggler he’d fantasized about for days.
“What are you
doing here, Captain Reynolds?”
There wasn’t a
good answer for it. Plain and simple, he needed her, wanted her, and he’d be
damned if he held back now. He strode up to her, grabbed her wrist, and tugged
her into his arms.
Her fingers
laced into his hair, and she tipped her face up to look him in the eyes. “You
didn’t answer my question.”
“Are you alone?”
“Yes, my crew is
on leave.” Her gaze traveled to the hanger doors. “You shouldn’t be here.”
He watched the
way her lips formed the words but heard little of what she said. Need pounded
through him and only one thing would relieve it. Gods, he wanted her. “No.” No,
he shouldn’t be. No, he shouldn’t kiss her. No, he wasn’t thinking about duty
tonight. He dipped his head and captured her mouth the way he’d wanted to for
the last three weeks, backing her against the forward drive. He tore at her
shirt and the buckle on her aviator’s pants, desperate to touch her bare flesh,
be inside her. His hands grabbed her bottom, and he lifted her from her feet
and pressed her against the side of her ship. She wrapped her legs around his
waist. With a gasp, her mouth opened to him. He thrust his tongue in and
savored her flavor, needing more, starved for her.
Ava was
everything opposite to the law he upheld, all he stood against, but it didn’t
have to be that way. It wasn’t too late. He ran his hands up her shirt, cupping
the bare breasts underneath. The pads of his thumbs grazed her nipples, and she
arched into him, growling low in her throat.
He pulled his
mouth away. “I need you now.”
“Take me inside
the Avira.” Heat blazed through her
eyes. “Or take me here. I don’t care, as long as you take me.”
