THE MERMAID AND THE DRAGON Our coastline is craggy stone cliffs in the distance, warm beach sand when we want to sunbathe, and the most vivid turquoise water you’ve ever laid your eyes upon. Welcome to Titan’s Tears Cove, near the Titan volcano, and centered equidistant from the closest dragon-danger zones of Flame Pass and Ember Pass. But they aren’t too close. Unlike the Gulf of Mermaids colony on the other side of Venys, our tribe is made up of only my sisters, and we are so quietly tucked away that we aren’t often hunted by anything here. At least, that was the case until a lone dragon got too curious. And hungry. Little do I know that I’m about to be snatched up for a dragon’s lunch. Another thing I’m clueless about? One touch of the wrong female to the wrong place on a dragon can strike a matebond for life. Even if a bonding should be impossible. After all, how can a creature that soars through the sky—a dragon, for the high seas’ sake!—be forever-mated to a mermaid? Note: This is a 22K Standalone Short Story for readers 18+. \\No wereopossums or trolls were harmed in the making of this book. However, there are some slightly disturbing events for a couple of unlucky mermen. Tragic, certainly, but you know how it is: Dragons get possessive of their lady.

The last man in our tribe told me that dragons are small and fierce, and when they bond to someone, they’ll protect them with their life. This is what our tribe needs—a protector. Our males are being stolen by raiding clans, and with the man-shortage like it is, we can’t afford to lose any more. Armed with a fishhook and a glaring naiveté, I set off to catch my dragon. I catch him alright. And I find out a few things. One: dragons aren’t small. Two: dragons don’t like fishhooks. Three: this dragon will only bond to his \mate.\ So I guess the question is… do I desire a dragon? \\This novel is a 30K short story romance.

My name is Jaya, a dreamer, bola slinger, and one of ten guardians in my tribe. I was content to live out my days keeping watch on the village, hunting, and batting away insects that flew too close to the prissy women chosen to birth the next generation. My life was nothing like theirs. I spent way too much time burying my secret in the dirt, over and over, to make sure of it. Gods no. That wasn't my future... Until the sky lit up and an angry star sent all the Mist tribes into a desperate frenzy for the beasts of legend to bleed new life into our people. It wasn't supposed to turn out this way.

When the Red Star appears in the sky on the night she is to be chosen, Elliya knows it is her chance to make her own choice.

The tribes have wilted. The last of the menfolk have grown old. The human race has been dying since the red comet first soared through the skies above. My name is Issa, and as the youngest huntress and the only one left within childbearing age, I’m doomed to be the last matriarch of my people. Which would be a great honor, if there were a male to be mine from another tribe. But none have been born, none but my younger brother. It’s been my life duty to protect him. When the time comes to escort my brother to a neighboring tribe, my friend tells me a rumor of a huntress finding a dragon in the northern plains. And when that huntress touched the dragon’s hide, the beast transformed into a virile, possessively bonded male. With a thundering heart and nothing left to lose, I venture into the forbidden jungle to find such a dragon. To touch him, to bear his burden.
