Thank you so much, Jenna, for having me on your blog, again! It’s such a pleasure to be here.
Hello everyone! It’s been a whirlwind week for me, as I had two books release from Decadent Publishing last week. One is a new adult contemporary romance, called Accidental Romance. And the other, Made For Her, is a sci-fi military erotic romance.
In many of my other stories, I’ve dealt with the idea of falling in love with aliens. But Made For Her is the first story I wrote about a clone. In the story, Onatria Labs has been contracted by the government to create clones for the military, who are desperate for people to enlist. The clones are not considered human, but property of the military who are trained then used as they see fit.
While there are anarchy groups who object to cloning, the government ploughs on. All is well until Colonel Mikayla Jones objects to a clone in her new squadron. She had no problem training them before, but none of them looked like her late husband.
Even after she refuses to train the new squadron, the clone of Daniel, Dare, seeks her out for extra training sessions, making it impossible for Mikayla to separate her heart from her job. But she has to. Not only is he below her rank, he is a clone. And she could never fall for a clone.
Made For Her Blurb:
After terrorists murder the love of her life, Colonel Mikayla Jones trains squadron after squadron of the clones he brought to life, to take to the skies. When she discovers a young clone of her husband in her newest class, her world spins out of control. How can she command the look-a-like when she can’t help but yearn for him to fill an ache in her heart?
Dare was created to be the best. As the first Daniel clone to leave Onatria labs, he needs to prove he is more than just a DNA copy. To do that, he must rely on the wife of the man who donated his genes. But when she refuses to train him, Dare faces discharge and returning to the labs. Can he convince Colonel Jones to finish his training and find a way into her bed? Or will long kept secrets unhinge the entire clone project?

Excerpt for Made For Her:
Colonel Jones eyed each one of her new cadets, examining the neatness of their uniforms, while inspecting for signs of stress or over-anxiousness. She’d never seen the telltale muscle twitches or sweats in any previous clones, only in human-borns, but she had to look for them anyway.
The first generation of clones didn’t live long enough to become cadets. Their hearts gave out within a year after incubation. But the scientists at Onatria had plowed on, utilizing more of Daniel’s research, speeding up the aging process with hormones to create the perfect generation she saw before her.
She’d had female clones in previous squadrons, but the government filled the one in front of her with testosterone-driven masculinity. If she’d been younger, she’d have a hard time concentrating. But her days of crushes and fantasies were long over. She was devoted to serving her country and planet, and nothing else.
That didn’t stop her from going out on the town for a stress-relieving fuck from time to time. But these young men in front of her appeared so virile, sure to last longer than any of her previous sexual partners.
No. As junior officers, and more importantly, as clones, they were off limits.
Inspecting them gave her the opportunity to check out more than their fatigues and tics, but if they knew her thoughts, they’d walk all over her. She’d be done.
They were of varying nationalities, builds, and heights, all fit to serve the planet. None of the cadets revealed any indication he would put the lives of others in jeopardy. This will be an easy squadron, every one of them ready to fly in a matter of weeks.
She reached the last cadet and froze. Her stomach clenched. No, they couldn’t have!
She pivoted on her heel and rushed off the tarmac, leaving the squad without an instructor.

It sounds like a really great and intriguing story! Personally dating a clone of a loved one would creep me out so I don’t think I’d be able to do it…they might LOOK like the person, but they wouldn’t BE him…not really…
Thanks for the great giveaway!

I hope I’m not commenting twice! my 1st one disappear! If so sorry.
I believe that I would want to get to know, Dare, really well; while a clone he would still be different than her husband; more like his brother. And as long as he adored me, hey that has to work in his favor! LOL!
Thank you for the contest!

That’s a very good question. One I thought would never be asked. After I put some thought into it I believe that if I truly loved someone and they had been cloned then they would have everythig that I loved about that person so I would have to say that yes I would.

This sounds like an amazing book! I can’t wait to read it! If I saw a clone of someone I loved and met them, I bet, assuming they weren’t an “evil” clone, I’d love them just the same as the person they were cloned as, but I think i would come to love them as someone different than the cloned person…if that makes sense.

Hey Lauren! Yes, that totally makes sense to me, especially if the person were still alive. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
