Everyone on Tajss seems to be finding their fated mate… except me. I love helping my friends raise their half-Zmaj babies, but every cooing bundle of joy just twists the knife deeper. I want a child of my own. A mate of my own. A love that steals my breath and shakes my world. Too bad every human man bores me—and every Zmaj warrior worth wanting is already claimed. Then he arrives. A massive, golden-eyed stranger. A mysterious, dangerously sexy Zmaj no one has ever seen before. He’s not trusted. He’s not welcomed. But the moment his gaze meets mine, something ancient and electric sparks to life. My heart knows him. My body wants him. My soul whispers mate. Choosing him could mean losing the only family I’ve built on this harsh desert world. But turning away from the one male who might finally give me the love—and the future—I’ve been aching for? That might break me completely. A steamy, heart-pounding fated-mates sci-fi romance perfect for fans of protective alien warriors, fierce yet vulnerable heroines, baby fever, and love that refuses to be denied.
