Free from author December 2021 newsletter This not-at-all-dead cyborg needs to be needed. *** Seeking a change after solar cycles of war, Halleli enters a lottery on her home planet. Her wishes are granted. She wins a home of her own in the middle of nowhere. The only problem is…that home is haunted. Objects slide off horizontal surfaces. The floor howls. And the resident ghost, a sexy spirit she has named Chad, roams the space. He sports soulful dark eyes, a deep growly voice, and shiny silver hands big enough to handle a female’s abundant curves. Halleli wants him, and that is wrong, so very wrong. A relationship between them is impossible. He is dead. And she is…not. Valor isn’t dead. He isn’t a ghost. And his name isn’t Chad. He’s an E Model cyborg determined to claim his female…once he can convince her he’s alive. Achieving that feat might require clever words, some heated kisses…and a whole lot of explosives.
