BOOK SUMMARY

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?

A SPECIAL TOP 5 FROM DIANNE DUVALL


Top 5 Reasons to Love Lisa from The Lasaran

Hello! Thanks so much for joining us. I’ve thrilled to be here, celebrating the release of THE LASARAN, the first book in my new Aldebarian Alliance series. Today I thought I would help you get to know Lisa, the heroine, by revealing five reasons Taelon falls in love with her:

1
She’s strong.

Again she drew her thumb across his stubble in a soft caress. After experiencing nothing but pain and humiliation during his long captivity, her touch felt sublime. “So you came here for your sister?”

He nodded. “She’s sweet and innocent. Like you. It tears me up inside to think of the butchers doing to her what they did to me.”

Her lips turned up in a wry smile. “I’m not that innocent.”

He smiled. “And not so sweet? At least not to the soldier you threatened to shoot.”

She laughed. “Apparently outright terror can make me ballsy.”

Familiar with the Earth term, he laughed.

2
Taelon has known only pain and suffering for nearly three years. So even when times are tough, Lisa finds ways to make him laugh.

Though the circumstances that had brought them together were horrendous, Taelon already found it hard to imagine not waking up with Lisa in his arms every morning, not sharing every meal with her, not eliciting laughs and blushes from her every chance he could.

The bathroom door swung open.

Lisa spoke, still beyond his line of sight. “Our day has had a pretty grim beginning, so I thought you’d like to see this.” Poking her head out, she stared at him with wide eyes and a mouth rimmed with toothpaste foam.

He laughed.

She grinned.

So damn cute, he thought as he rose and joined her.

3
She’s resourceful and doesn’t back down from a challenge.

Taelon scooted to the edge of the table, then slid off onto his feet.

His knees buckled.

Lisa lunged forward and wrapped her arms around him. He was a lot taller than she was. And heavier with muscle. For a minute she thought they would both end up toppling to the floor. He felt like he weighed a ton. But she braced her feet, locked her knees, and managed to keep him upright.

He gripped the table with one hand and wrapped the other arm around her. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay,” she told him. “We can do this.”

He nodded.

Shifting to his side, Lisa kept one arm around him as he found his balance. She hadn’t realized until then that the hazmat suit had fallen to the floor. Well, sh**. How was she going to get a naked alien out of the building without getting caught? He was bound to attract attention.

She glanced at the door. Maybe there were clothes in the next room? The doctors probably changed out of their everyday clothes before coming in here, right?

When she had arrived, the fighting hadn’t reached this section yet. But the gunfire was getting closer. “If we’re going to do this, we need to do it now.”

4
She will fight fiercely to protect those she loves.

He sat up, too. When she struggled to untangle the covers enough to pull them up over her breasts, he paused a moment to help her. “Lisa,” he began in reasonable tones, “I won’t risk your—”

“This is nonnegotiable, Taelon. We’re in this together. No way in hell am I going to let them take you who-knows-where without me.”

5
She’s passionate.

Pulse pounding in her ears, Lisa closed the remaining distance between them and touched her lips to his.

He rested his hands on her hips.

She thought he intended to shove her off. He had, after all, told her that this kind of intimate contact was forbidden on his planet.

Instead, those large hands squeezed her hips, then slid around and up her back, pressing her closer until her full breasts rubbed his chest. His soft, warm lips parted. His tongue slipped out to tease hers.

Heat flashed through her, shocking her to her core. Holy hell, the man could kiss.
