Read an excerpt from Mari's novella, Scorpion King
Queen Naiya Pisces rules the oceanic city of Pacifica, but when the foundation begins to shake, Naiya must turn to unexpected allies for help—the Landwalkers.
Captain Drake “Scorpio” Scopillo leads a geological study of the ocean floor, investigating the possibility of an earthquake that could devastate Naiya’s city. Determined and commanding, Drake is normally all business—but one look at the beautiful queen and he’s thrust into an internal struggle to resist her powerful allure.
Naiya recognizes Drake as the man foretold by legend—the Scorpion King, the one man born to command her body and soul and rule at her side. But Drake is strong in his resistance, and seduction is her only hope. She prays her feminine charms, coupled with nights of heated sex, will melt his icy heart. For only with the Scorpion King by her side will her people find the hope and strength to survive what the future holds.
5 Angels, Recommended Read. "Marianne LaCroix gives readers a taste of her world-building skills in Planetary Passions: Scorpion King, and tosses down the gauntlet for aspiring wordsmiths. Her depictions and descriptions of undersea life came alive in this tale of power, passion and perfidy. Sub-themes of racism and a greedy, grasping wolf in sheep’s clothing complete the plot spectrum; the story layers here are, in a word, exquisite. Drake and Naiya are strong-willed, hot blooded and we find that each of them has something to lose, as well as something to prove as this story spins to a most satisfying ending. Ms. LaCroix just keeps getting better and better. Five Angels and the coveted Recommended Read rating for this incredibly amazing tale!"

"5 Stars, Orgasmic [heat level]...WOW! This book is hot! From the moment I started reading I could hardly wait to turn the page to see what would happen next. There was an instant connection with the central characters...The plot is fascinating. Romance, science fiction, fantasy and intrigue all rolled into one; what more could you ask for in a book?...I highly recommend this book to those who enjoy this genre. This is erotic fantasy romance at its finest!

"7 out of 10...SCORPION KING was written like a full-length novel, rather than a novella. Rich in character and details, I was drawn into the story from the opening scenes. The sexual chemistry between Drake and Naiya was off the charts, with frequent and lush bedsport. The ensemble cast was well rounded and added extra richness to the tale. A very well portrayed tale of life and love under the sea, I hope there are stories to come for some of the more interesting characters."
