New York Times bestselling author Dianne Duvall brings readers the first novel in a thrilling new sci-fi romance series full of action, intrigue, humor, and happily-ever-afters.
Taelon searches the galaxy for his younger sister, who mysteriously disappeared while on a diplomatic mission. When an ally reveals that she was seized and is being held prisoner on Earth, Taelon descends upon the blue planet, intent on freeing her and exacting vengeance. However, all does not go as planned. Before he can find her, Taelon is captured and becomes the subject of torturous experiments. For what feels like an eternity, all he knows is pain and fury… until a mind tentatively touches his own and a woman’s voice forever changes his world.
After suffering tragic losses, Lisa is finally beginning to carve out a future for herself when chance sends her to the Anomalous Cognition Research Institute. What at first appears to be a benign organization seeking participants for a psychic study instead turns out to be a government facility harboring a much darker intent. Lisa discovers this too late and soon becomes the unwilling subject of a terrifying experiment. Just as fear and desperation threaten to consume her, a deep, compelling voice penetrates the looming insanity and lends her hope.
Having seen only the worst of humanity, Taelon is shocked when Lisa risks everything to free him. Together the two make their escape, and Taelon finds himself fascinated by the small human woman who—despite all she’s suffered—can still laugh and tease and lure smiles from him. Friendship swiftly grows between them as they work together to evade soldiers intent on capturing them and find themselves hunted by mystifying preternatural beings. Through it all, Lisa steadfastly remains by his side, stealing more of his heart each day while she helps him unravel the mystery of his sister’s fate. Can they find his sister before the hunters find them? If they survive their quest, will Taelon have to bid Lisa farewell… or can he coax her into leaving her planet and joining him for the adventure of a lifetime?

I always like to give you a peek into the pages on Release Day, so here's a brief excerpt of The Lasaran that features Taelon and Lisa:
Dipping
his head, Taelon brushed his lips against hers in a light kiss. “Thank you.”
Her
heartbeat picked up. “Thank you for protecting me,” she whispered. If he hadn’t
been so intent on keeping her safe, he might’ve learned where his sister was.
“I
would protect you with the last breath left in my body, Lisa.”
She
believed him. Sliding her fingers into his hair, she drew his head down and
claimed his lips in a longer, deeper kiss. His arms tightened around her. His
tongue delved inside to stroke her own. Desire swept through her, heating her
blood and driving her to fist his hair.
He groaned. And
Lisa knew it wasn’t from pain this time, but need. He buried one hand in her
hair and tilted her head so he could deepen the kiss even more. His other hand
caressed her back and pressed her closer, reminding her that they were both
naked.
What
the hell was she doing?
She
broke the kiss and stared up into emerald green.
Taelon
affected her in ways no other man had.
“What
are we doing?” she whispered.
A
twinkle of mischief entered his eyes. “Breaking a number of Lasaran laws.”
Her
lips twitched. “Aside from that.”
He
shook his head. “I don’t know. I’m so drawn to you, Lisa.”
“I’m drawn to you, too.”

I never post to authors but I have to say I love your books I have them all from the Gifted ones to your newest book. I love your writing and your imagination. I spent a year in the hospital after a very bad car accident and your books helped me keep my sanity and dieing of boredom. Thank you and I cant wait to read your next books.
