Monster Ball
by Darah Lace
As the only eligible female dragon of
child bearing age, Cerya Vasiliev is promised by the elders to a man she
doesn’t love. To make things worse, she’s fast approaching her time for
breeding. Her only hope is to escape during the Monster Ball. But when
plans go awry, she’s reluctantly rescued by the only man who makes her
heart ache and her pulse race.
Talon
Alexeev gave up his right to claim Cerya as his mate upon learning of
her engagement to his cousin, the leader of the Drakur, a man he admires
and respects. He’s managed to keep his distance and built a wall around
his heart. But when he discovers the intoxicating female in the early
stages of mating heat in a ballroom full of eager males, both monster
and human, he jumps without thought to protect her.
Hiding
in close quarters from the males in pursuit, Talon’s dragon must resist
Cerya’s call to mate or risk betrayal of kin and kingdom.
