Three women, two planets, and a whale.

            For
Marianne Woolsey, linguist and tutor, being empathically bonded to the leader
of the Tolari turns out to be a bed of roses – complete with thorns. Especially
thorns.

            With
diplomatic relations severed and humans kicked out of Tolari space, the Earth
Fleet ship Alexander is gone …
for now … but Earth Central Command hasn’t given up trying to get Marianne
back. As she struggles with surprises, nightmares, and a bond-partner who can’t
be tamed, she just wants to figure out where she fits in a society that isn’t quite human.

            Laura
Howard, the Admiral’s widow, only desires to be left in peace to gather the
fragments of a shattered heart, but Central Command has plans for her, too.

            Meanwhile,
the Sural’s apothecary is a serene and gifted healer who knows what – and who –
she wants. Circumstances have conspired to deny her the man she’s always loved,
but in the pursuit of his heart, she has an unexpected ally – in the depths of
Tolar’s oceans.

       Daughters
of Suralia is a sweet scifi romance.
