A Fantasy Dragon-Shifter Romance Cerya As the only eligible female dragon of childbearing age, I'm promised by the elders to a man I don't love. To make things worse, I'm fast approaching my time for breeding. My only hope is to escape during the All Hallows Eve Ball. But when plans go awry, I'm reluctantly rescued by the only man who makes my pulse race…and my heart ache. Talon I gave up my right to claim Cerya as my mate after learning she was engaged to my cousin, a man I admire and respect, the King of the Drakur. I've even managed to keep my distance from her and build a wall around my heart. But when I find her in the early stage of mating heat and surrounded by a ballroom full of eager males, I’m driven to protect her. Resisting the call to mate is the hardest thing I'll ever do, but giving in means betrayal of kin and kingdom.
