More Info on Michael

I promised to tell you a little more about Michael, so to start, here’s the blurb:

Michael is a Dominant Son of Amber, commandant of the human fighting forces and in charge of Atlantia Station. When he hears a smuggling ring is kidnapping human women and transporting them to the jit’suku galaxy, he goes undercover with his executive officer to uncover the rats in their own kitchen. But playing the role of submissive female is something Leah, the competant XO, isn’t sure she can do. Michael proves to her she not only can, but will enjoy the Dominant games he plays so well for benefit of the smugglers they must convince.

While the story is named for the hero, the heroine is competant, capable, and pretty darn cool too. She’s Michael’s executive officer (XO), a high-ranking military officer in her own right and descendant of a legendary military family. When humanity needs her, she rises to the occasion, though she never intended to join the military when she was younger. Still, she’s risen through the ranks through hard work and acts as Michael’s steadying influence. They work as a team, efficient and deadly. She respects him, but more than that, over the years they’ve worked together, she’s come to love him.

This is the first time I’ve written a hero who’s super Dominant. I think he turned out well, with the right mix between domination and obnoxiousness. LOL. I really hate those dumb alphas who order people around just because they can. I need a character whose dominance is tempered by intellect and a certain amount of compassion. I think Michael works in this way, but you all can be the final judge of that.
