Ebook. Dragon-Shifter Romance. Book One in the Dragon Lords series.

Morrigan Blake has built her career chasing stories across the galaxy. When a tip about illegal practices at a remote alien Breeding Festival lands on her desk, she boards a luxury spacecraft disguised as a prospective bride—hidden recorder in hand, escape plan already mapped. The primitive planet of Qurilixen is just another assignment. She has absolutely no intention of staying.

She didn't plan on the crystal. Or the prince.

Prince Ualan of Draig has spent his life honoring the old ways—the warrior codes of his people, the traditions of his dragon-shifting bloodline, and the sacred bond of the Breeding Festival. When the ancient crystal around his neck blazes to life for a dark-haired, sharp-eyed human woman during the Procession of Finding, he doesn't question it. The gods have chosen. She is his fated mate. He is simply waiting for her to catch up.

Morrigan has a story to file, a ship to catch, and a hard-won independence that no alien warrior—fated mate or otherwise—is going to overrule. But Ualan's certainty runs as deep as his bloodline, and on Qurilixen, a prince's word is law. One of them is about to discover exactly how stubborn the other truly is.

Some fates aren't meant to be escaped—only surrendered to.
