The mating instinct was second only to the survival instinct in its strength,
and that was going to work to her advantage – if she played her cards right.

Her loneliness called to him…
Immortality, for all its plusses, was a solitary thing when all was said
and done. Affection was fleeting, and more so in the context of a life without
end. He stepped closer, feeling a pull to her that wasn’t entirely empathy.

Excerpt Tuesday: An Outsmarted Hunter Makes A Formidable Foe
In my novella, Captured by the Hunter, Jodan is an interstellar bounty hunter, sent to collect a runaway bride. Drella turns out to be a very worthy prey – and much, much more than he bargained for. In this scene, Drella used her feminine wiles to outsmart him, and he’s giving himself a mental lecture over it…
He was slipping. He’d let himself get distracted, and he had no one to blame for that but himself. It hadn’t even occurred to him that the woman could be beautiful. Or that alluring.
He’d heard stories of Inirian women, of course, but he’d dismissed a lot of it as folklore. Being a Prim, he knew first-hand how stories of sexual exploits travelled, and only very rarely did they have a smattering of truth.
He hadn’t counted on her being that beautiful. Or on her obvious attraction to him. He was there to capture her – yet she had still become aroused at his proximity to her. He couldn’t help but react.
He should have helped it. He should have known she’d have a plan to distract him.
