La lumière du bonheur

Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt

Description

Can an army combat veteran find love with an alien prince from another planet, or will the machinations of her ex-husband lead to disaster for both worlds?

What happens when an ebook in cyberspace ends up in outer space? It turns a failed author into a bestselling one. On another planet.

Wounded army vet turned English teacher Mara Eldress figures her flop of a memoir has sentenced her to the bottom of the slush pile… until she discovers her book is massively popular with space aliens.

Who knew a book signing tour would take an author to a distant planet?

Enter Vikk Stravdas. Sexy. Smoldering. Sinful. And an alien prince who claims to be in love with her book. He offers to transport her to his home planet of Vraithe where she's a famous celebrity.

Yeah, sure.

The man's hot but bonkers. However, after attempting to call his bluff, Mara is beamed away by Vikk the hunky extraterrestrial, and her life turns into a whirlwind romance.

Talk about close encounters of the spicy kind. One small step for a writer, one giant leap into an alien's sexual paradise, boldly going where no woman has gone before.

Mara wonders if she should ditch her anonymous life and remain a celebrity on the beautiful planet Vraithe… until her evil ex-husband stirs the pot back on Earth, causing a series of unfortunate events that require Mara's return, which triggers consequences that affect both planets.

With lives on the line, will Mara be able to write her own happily ever after with Vikk?

[Author Message: please note that this novel is told using multiple points of view (POV) in order to tell a dynamic, well-rounded story set on two planets, Earth and Vraithe. Even minor characters may get a short section in their POV. I hope you will trust me as an author, as I did this on purpose, as several sections early on pay bigger dividends later in the story. If multiple POVs are not your jam, please sample the novel to get a flavor of the set-up. You can read the first three chapters on my website. Thanks! and Happy Reading!]
