Dragon shifter and Valleywood talent agent James "Jack" Lane doesn't have a lot of time in his schedule for nonsense. So when someone from his past shows up in his office, James has every intention of sending the guy away. Even if he was once James' betrothed, an arrangement made when they were just children. Dexter Erega doesn't have a lot of time left. In dragon society, once a mate is cast aside, his heartstone is broken, and he's locked away until he dies. Dex has managed to get away from that life, but he needs James to officially sign the papers releasing him from their marriage arrangement. James had no idea his family would follow through on such a barbaric act, and now he feels like he needs to make things up to Dex. That starts them on a journey deep into the Colorado mountains to a Seer who can help, and who might be the key to Dex getting his life back. Can James convince Dex it's a life he wants to share as his mate? This is a Valleywood mpreg story, but it is also the prequel to Mending the Dragon's Heart, and a Heartstone Rescue novella.
