Dragon's Fated Mate (eBook)

Annabel has already lost the love of her life.

She refuses to lose control too.

Since her husband's death, survival has been simple: protect the women who depend on her, keep everyone at a safe distance, and never risk needing someone again. Then a Zmaj warrior appears in the desert and ruins every careful rule she has built.

Calaun is honorable, infuriatingly patient, and impossible to frighten away. He saves Annabel's group from the predators of Tajss, faces six Invaders alone to keep them free, and nearly dies getting them safely to the City.

He also looks at Annabel as if she is the only woman in the universe.

His treasure.

There is only one problem. Zmaj are supposed to receive a single fated mate in a lifetime, and Calaun already loved and lost his. So did Annabel. Whatever burns between them should be impossible.

But desire becomes trust, and trust becomes something neither of them is ready to name. Calaun makes Annabel feel protected without taking away her strength. Annabel awakens the part of him that believed love ended with the mate he failed to save.

When an expedition to uncover a buried military base ends with a mysterious illness spreading among the Zmaj, Calaun must return to the secretive Order for help. Annabel has finally been offered a place among the City's leaders, but staying behind could mean losing the male who has taught her that opening her heart again is not a betrayal.

They both survived the death of a first love.

Now they must decide whether fate can offer two broken souls an impossible second chance.

Dragon's Fated Mate is a steamy alien dragon romance featuring enemies-to-lovers sparks, a widowed heroine, a widowed alien warrior, fated mates, forced proximity, protective devotion, grief healing, found family, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
