Tales of the Pride: Awakening
by Larissa Lyons

Flung halfway across the galaxy in his felid form, Jâden awakens trapped in a cage and finds himself up for auction. He easily sniffs out the intriguing scent of one of the bidders, a lovely female alien he wishes to claim for his own...if only he can convey his desire and convince her to bid on him before it's too late.

Exhausted after outrunning raiders on her way to the remote outpost, Lyra instantly revives when she hears a mystical pänthliõn is going on the auction block. She wasn't sure this breed of giant feline truly existed, but one glance at the gorgeous cat and her thoughts turn from restoring her ship to sinking her fingers into his lush coat. Now, she just needs to find a way to buy him...and figure out what one feeds a recently-hibernating carnivore.

Larissa Lyons' Bio

After doing stints in community theater and stand-up, I decided it was more fun putting words in other peoples' mouths and turned my focus to writing. After four years working on a loooong contemporary romance (and rewriting it about seven times!), I met Alyssa Brooks in the summer of 2005, when both of us were looking for a critique partner.

Within two days of meeting Alyssa, she'd corrupted me and I began writing erotic romance. My first story, Written in the Stars, was selected as the winner of Liquid Silver Books' Capricorn Zodiac contest in the fall of '05, and I've been writing sexy, sensual stories ever since! When not writing (okay, even then...) I devour chocolate covered peanuts, make brownies, and try to think of creative ways to explain to my husband why our house is such a mess.
