Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

What happens when a warrior priest from a strict religion meets a free-spirited priestess from a new age commune?

Jade and Selena are as different as two people can be, but to facilitate an alliance between their worlds, they engage in a cultural exchange. With their galaxy in danger from a planet that wants to conquer or destroy all others, they realize the importance of their assignment, but it is difficult for a warrior priest and a nonviolent priestess to understand each other.

Selena is both attracted and appalled by his old school masculinity, and Jade is tempted to break his vow of celibacy until marriage due to his powerful desire for her. Will this unlikely pair not only find common ground, but unconditional love?

Let’s chat about what to eat

First, what is your name and how old are you?

My name is Jade, or Ari Jade, if you want to be formal. I’m thirty-four years old.

What is the time period in which you live?

It’s the modern era on my planet—I’m from Covenant—but to someone from Earth during your time, it would be the distant future.

What is your favorite meal?

Land and Sea Delight. It’s sea greens wrapped in noodles with garden snake strips on the side. My mouth waters just thinking about it.

If any, what food do you refuse to eat?

I don’t think there’s a food invented that I’d refuse to eat. Selena always teases me about my appetite. That’s just another way we’re complete opposites. She doesn’t eat much, and she’s vegan.

When you find yourself with some type of unknown food on your plate, what do you do?

Eat it. When you nearly starve to death while trapped for weeks in an ice cave, you learn to appreciate food in a way you never imagined before.

Have you ever eaten military style rations, and if so, what was your favorite?

Yeah, I’m a warrior priest. Meat stew.

Do you skip breakfast or is eating that a must-do for you?

The only time I skip a meal is if I’m forced to or during our annual fast.

Do you keep snacks on hand, and if so, what are they?

Fruit nut mix. Jerky. Cereal bars.

Who are your favorite people to share meals with?

Selena, even though she’s vegan. Just kidding. I’ve had some really good vegan meals since meeting her. At her commune, they have a recipe for sweet potatoes that’s so good I can almost taste it now.

Tell us what your author eats or drinks while writing about you.

Kate is basically a water drinker. I’m with her there. Nothing tastes as good as water when you’re really thirsty. As for food, she has a weakness for dark chocolate and peanut butter.

If your author has a pet, what does she feed the animal?

She has dogs, a cat, and hermit crabs. The dogs eat wet and dry food, sometimes mixed with a little pumpkin. One of her dogs loves apples and celery for snacks. The other won’t touch either one. Her cat prefers cat food with turkey and won’t touch the ones with fish. The crabs? She feeds them fresh fruit, vegetables, nuts, and a variety of dried crab food, calcium powder, and worm castings. Sometimes they enjoy a little popcorn, too.

Same question for you. What do you feed your pet/s?

At this time I don’t have any pets, not because I don’t like animals, but because I’m not home very often, even though that’s about to change. Since meeting Selena, a lot has changed, and I mean that in a good way.
