Cedroc has lost too much to risk his heart again. The brilliant pilot has never expected to survive. Finding his fated mate? Not a chance. Until suddenly, there she is. Soft and luscious, setting his blood on fire. Threatening every wall he's put up. He shouldn't allow it. Should keep her out. But when the Suhilk war comes too close to his mate, there's only one option. Protect her. Claim her. And destroy everything that threatens her. Cedroc is the third book of the Warriors of Vaznik, a stand alone series in the Warlord Brides universe. There's no cheating, and a guaranteed HEA for each couple!
