A widowed mother fleeing danger kidnaps a powerful alien dragon-shifter—only to discover he’s her destined mate… and her children’s fiercest protector.
When a dragon warrior loses control of his dragon… strange—and dangerous—things can happen.
Palto T’Simmi has less than forty-eight hours to find his life mate on Earth. If locating the one woman destined for him isn’t nearly impossible, convincing her to leave her entire world behind for an alien one might be worse.
His solution?
Kidnap a human.
Seduce her.
Hope for the best.
Martha Lonetree doesn’t have time for destiny. On the run with her two young children, she needs a miracle—somewhere safe to hide, somewhere no one will find them. When she stumbles across what appears to be an abandoned spacecraft hidden deep in a canyon, she doesn’t ask questions.
She claims it.
Because if its owner comes back, he’ll have to deal with her.
Discover what happens when a dragon-shifting alien warrior hunting for his mate finds himself outmaneuvered, outmatched, and unexpectedly kidnapped—in the one place he thought he ruled absolutely… His own ship.
“I don’t know what’s got a burr up your dragon’s behind, but you need to figure it out. You two are driving me crazy,” he growled, pushing the transport through the atmosphere. “Computer, set a course for the *Shifter’s Monarch*.”
“Affirmative,” the computer responded.
He didn’t care if Earth’s military had another UFO to explain. He understood why they were still a primitive world—no one needed to visit here!
“We could go to any spaceport and find the same thing,” he muttered.
“Like what—ugly women?” a feminine voice asked from behind him. “Can the computer fly this thing? And do you always talk to yourself?”
Palto froze in mid-movement.
It wasn’t just the voice that held him still. It was the cold barrel of a laser pistol pressed against his temple.
He slowly closed his eyes when he heard his dragon’s delighted snorts. He now understood its sudden urge to leave and his symbiot’s almost giddy warmth flowing through him. They had known there was a feminine trespasser aboard his ship.
Coming soon.
