SIGNED: The Stubborn Lord (Dragon Lords #6) Paperback
Signed Print. Dragon-Shifter Romance. Book Six in the Dragon Lords series. Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Paranormal Romance.
Kendall Haven has survived her father's gambling debts, a broken security system, and years of running a fueling dock on the edge of deep space. She did not survive him betting her. Collected like cargo and sold to an alien bride procurement agency, she lands on a primitive planet at the far edge of the universe with exactly one plan: refuse every single part of the contract her father signed in her name.
Lord Alek has attended the bridal ceremony four times. Four times he has gone home alone. A dragon-shifter nobleman who has made peace with a solitary life, he shows up out of duty this time, not hope. Then the impossible happens and his instincts roar to life, fixed on one very reluctant, very furious human woman who wants nothing to do with him or his planet.
Kendall is determined to resist. Alek is too stubborn to walk away. Between an enemy threat lurking in the forest, a bond neither of them chose, and the inconvenient fact that Alek wants more of her heart than she has ever managed to give anyone, the odds are stacking hard against her escape plan.
She came to a strange world in chains. Leaving may cost her something far more dangerous than her freedom.
