Ilara Depherra, aka The Shepherd, grew up on the streets of Toru City, the victim of a corrupt child welfare system that did little to protect the children in its care. Now Ilara protects them, teaching them the skills they need to survive on the streets and hiding them from the men who would enslave them. But she’ll need all her skills to survive the loneliness and danger ahead, especially to her heart. Kei Rewu is an arena gladiator of inter galactic renown. When he catches a thief stealing from his precious vegetable garden, he’s determined to teach the lad a lesson he won’t soon forget. Imagine his surprise when he discovers the lad is not only a woman, but the one who’d picked his pocket on a local transport. It doesn’t take him long to figure out who she is and call on his friend and former lover, Solae O’bora to help.
Locked in battle of life and death, Ilara and Kei could lose everything they hold dear. Or find a love that will save them both.

New at Women & Words this week, Dalia Craig has joined our line up of regular contributors. She writes fast-paced contemporary romances with an erotic twist. Her first official blog will go up in a few weeks. Until then, you can check out her author page for a complete bio and a link to her website.
And only at Lesfic Unbound! (yahoo group all about supporting lesbian geared fiction, come play with us)
A special opportunity is going to be made available to members of Lesfic_Unbound. Many of us have read and enjoyed the books of J.P. Mercer (Peg). Talon was a finalist for a Golden Crown Award and her new book Web is selling very well. Peg's first book, Incommunicado, which she wrote with Nancy M. Hill, is no longer available unless you can find a used copy somewhere at a decent price, so Peg has agreed to have Incommunicado serialized here for the group. One chapter a week will be posted and each chapter will be left in file for two weeks to give everyone a chance to read it.
Andi Marquette is giving away a copy of her latest release, Land of Entrapment. Leave a comment on this post and you’ll be entered into a drawing. The winner will be chosen a week from today (October 4th). Good luck!
Land of Entrapment
K.C. Fontero left New Mexico in the wake of a bitter break-up to take an academic fellowship in Texas. With a doctorate in sociology and expertise in white supremacist groups, she’s on her way to an academic career. But a plea for help from her ex, Melissa, brings K.C. back to Albuquerque to find Melissa’s troubled younger sister. Megan has disappeared with her white supremacist boyfriend and K.C. knows she has the expertise to track the mysterious group, and she knows she’ll be doing a public service to uncover it. What she doesn’t know is how far into her past she’ll have to go to find both Megan and herself and the deeper she digs into the group, the greater the danger she faces.
