NB: I don't usually feature erotic novels on my blog since it is 'G' rated - but this sounded so interesting I couldn't resist - please be aware that although the excerpt is not an Adult excerpt this is an erotic romance novel.
STRANDED WITH THE CYBORG
by Cara Bristol
GENRE: science fiction romance
BLURB:
The
daughter of the Terran president, Penelope Aaron resented the restrictions
imposed upon her, but that was no reason to take it out on the man assigned to
protect her. She regrets how she got Agent Brock Mann booted from the security
force. But now that she’s an interplanetary ambassador about to embark on her
first diplomatic mission, she still doesn’t want him tagging along. Especially since
he seems to be stronger, faster, more muscled, and sexier than she remembers.
And pretending to be husband? This
mission couldn’t get more impossible!
Ten years ago
Penelope Isabella Aaron had been a pain in Brock Mann’s you-know-what. Much has
changed in a decade: “PIA” as he code-named her, has grown up and is about to
attend her first Alliance of Planets summit conference, and Brock was
transformed into a cyborg after a near-fatal attack. Now a secret agent with
Cyber Operations, a covert paramilitary organization, Brock gets called in, not
when the going gets tough, but when the going gets impossible. So when he’s
unexpectedly assigned to escort Penelope to the summit meeting, he balks at
babysitting a prissy ambassador. But after a terrorist bombing, a crash landing
on a hostile planet, and a growing attraction to his protectee, Operation: PIA
may become his most impossible assignment yet.

Excerpt
For a cyberoperative to be called in to escort an ambassador
to a summit meeting? Ridiculous. A waste
of manpower. That the protectee was Pia, made it impossible. So maybe Cy-Ops’s
involvement made sense in a twisted way.
“Ten years has passed. Penelope is different now,” Carter
said.
Brock doubted that.
“Does she know about me?”
“That you’re a cyborg? Of course not. She hasn’t been told
anything about the program or even that you’re the one who’s been assigned to
her.”
“Yeah, spring it on her. That will go over well.” He could
envision the tantrum, and after she calmed down, the scheme she would devise to
circumvent the decision. The last time
he’d seen her, she’d been emerging from his quarters half dressed, a triumphant
smile tilting her lips. Shortly, thereafter, two of his fellow agents had come
to arrest him.
President Aaron had exonerated him; the transcripts from the
investigation had been sealed; and he’d been offered a reassignment. Instead,
he’d taken a position with an anti-terrorist investigative organization. His
unit got attacked; his fellow operatives had died. Carter, who’d been working with Cy-Ops all
along, had swooped in and saved his ass.
“I’m not saying I’ll do it, but hypothetically if I had a
computer meltdown and agreed, what would be my cover story? I couldn’t tag
along as her bodyguard because that would unsettle the Xenians.”
Carter poured another shot of Cerinian brandy and downed it.
He met Brock’s gaze dead-on. “You’d accompany the ambassador as her husband.”
“Oh, hell no!”
