Meet Fiona – heroine from Surrender
Meet Fiona – heroine from Surrender
Fiona Lockhart from my latest release, Surrender, was one of my favorite
heroines to write. She’s smart and has dreams of becoming a doctor, but she
gives them up to take care of her sick mother after her father walks out. She
also sacrifices her freedom to protect her mother in the aftermath of a war,
choosing to marry a Kall alien – an enemy and a stranger. She knows Merokk
expects a good, submissive wife, and she tries to play that role, but it’s not
always easy.
Here’s one of my favorite excerpts:
Shaking, again. Merokk suddenly ached to calm her
fears. “You’re afraid of me.” It was a statement, not a question.
Betsy stiffened in her chair. “I’m not afraid of
you,” she insisted, her tone haughty. “I’m just uncomfortable in this
situation. It doesn’t seem fair. No Earth men have to marry a Kall. Only the
women. It’s very one-sided.”
“A Kall female only marries the enemy if we lose the
war and the enemy decrees it. It’s a sign of dishonor, but one that can be
redeemed over proceeding years of peace and service.”
She smirked. “I wasn’t one of the illegal miners who
killed your people. I had nothing to do with this war, yet I’m branded an enemy
and forced to marry a Kall who no doubt killed thousands of my people. I suppose
you’re right, it is a dishonor. The dishonor will be mine on our wedding night
and on all the subsequent nights when I share your bed.”
An ominous silence descended, and Merokk, rooted to
his chair, directed a murderous look at Betsy. Damn her. Was she trying to
provoke him? It took all his self-control not to drag her to the bedroom for a
much-deserved beating. He chose his next words carefully.
“You’re right. I’ve killed thousands of your people,
and I’ve trained thousands of Kall who’ve killed thousands of your people. I
should be returning home to glory and riches to take a seat on the High
Council, but instead I’ll be marrying you and spending the rest of my days on
Earth. Despite my dissatisfaction with the situation, I’ve resolved to make the
best of it. You’d do well to do the same, Betsy, or your life will soon be
miserable.”
The fire in her eyes didn’t dim. “It’s not my life
anymore.” She pushed back from the table. “I’m not hungry.”
The servants chose that moment to enter the dining
room with trays of food, which they quickly placed in the center of the table.
When Betsy made to follow them out into the corridor, Merokk rose to his feet
in an instant.
“If you leave this room, you’ll regret it.” His
threat had the desired effect, and she froze with her back to him as she stood
in the doorway. “Come to me, Betsy. Now.”
She spun around and stormed over to him. Unshed
tears brimmed in her eyes, but she replied with malice. “I won’t bend the knee
and apologize to you, Merokk. I’m not sorry for speaking the truth, and any
apology you tear from my lips will be a false one. Consider that before you
strike me.”
His expression softened. “I’m not going to hurt you
or demand an apology from you.” He moved closer, towering over her small form
like a giant. “But I do expect you to dine with me.”
The prospect of spending more time in his company
must have frightened her more than physical punishment. She paled visibly and
took a step back. “Very well,” she said, turning to find her seat.
Merokk caught her arm and spun her around to face
him. “No. Kneel on the floor beside my chair.” When she hesitated, he breathed
against her ear, “Don’t make me repeat myself.”

I used to like Battlestar Gallactica with Gil Gerard and also the original Star Trek when I was little. Not much of a sci-fi fan now though. I always enjoy reading books by Sue Lyndon :)

Like Phoung, Battlestar Gallactica with Gil Gerard was my favorite when I was growing up. I really like the older cheesy sci-fi movies and TV shows. I also really like Stargate, SG1, I can watch every episode over and over.
