Colonel Tariq, of the prestigious Tygerian Imperial Guard, has lived a hard life. A war hero, wounded in battle, he lost his parents in a shocking way at an early age, and then lost his young husband after only two cycles of marriage. The tragedies have left him wary of relationships and too scared to love again. But now, he’s been given an offer he can’t refuse—an opportunity to “do King Davos a favor” and act as a personal bodyguard for the youngest prince of Tygeria, the famously blond, gorgeous and hard-to-handle Prince Rakkur. Rakkur is on his way to meet a potential suitor on the faraway planet of Loros, where Prince Mikol now lives. It sounds easy enough—except for one major problem. Tariq has a huge secret when it comes to Rakkur. One that will challenge all he thought he knew about himself—one that will change literally everything. Fasten your seatbelts and come along—it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

Prince Jago Ballenescu, grandson of Davos and Blake, only son of Anarr and Renard, has run away from an arranged marriage that he wants nothing to do with. His parents made a match for him that is entirely “suitable” with a “nice enough” person—whom Jago finds boring in the extreme. So he does what every normal, totally unspoiled young prince would do. He runs away. Caught and sent home in disgrace, he is on a ship bound for Tygeria with his uncle, Prince Rakkur, when they are attacked by the dreaded Pton and taken as hostages. On the ship, he meets the enigmatic, gorgeous alien Lord Dominiko. He quickly falls in love with his captor, rescues his uncle and then things begin to get really complicated. Lord Dominiko is your typical Pton nobleman—embroiled in court intrigue, surrounded by enemies, involved in numerous affairs, and completely jaded with his life. He never expects to meet a beautiful young princeling who will turn everything he thought he knew on its head and enlist him in a crazy scheme to take terrible risks, commit amazing feats of bravery and make huge sacrifices to help others and achieve a noble goal. If the two of them can pull this off, everything will fall into place. They might even save the universe. Fingers crossed, anyway.

General Quinn Fortana has arrived on Lycanus 3 to retrieve a stolen dragon’s egg, reportedly ready to hatch at any moment. He finds an arrogant, impossibly good-looking thief who stole the egg and calls himself a Prince. He claims King Davos is his grandfather. Quinn thinks that with his red hair and human looks, he might be the product of an illicit love affair the king may have had, but either way, it’s an intergalactic incident waiting to happen. To make an impossible situation even worse, one touch of the thief’s hand reveals to the general that the boy is his fated mate. When the egg hatches and immediately bonds with the gorgeous prince, things really begin to get out of hand. When Prince Rylan is unintentionally thrust into the world of the fierce Dragon Riders and given a crash course in saving the day—and saving his lover, the General—he must use the daring tactics of aerial dragon fighting. Fate sweeps Rylan from his princely life of comfort into an uncertain future–and an unexpected kinship with two of the most extraordinary creatures he has ever met, the handsome, stern Lycan general who thinks Rylan is spoiled and arrogant, and a dragon who has an unexpected talent that may make all the difference. This fourth book in the Bloodlines series can be read as a standalone if you have a little knowledge of the Mate of the Tyger Prince world. Though the books in the two series are all different, there are two unifying wrestling with the destiny of finding your one true mate and discovering love where you least expect it
