Book excerpt: Three dragon lords have no time to find mates, but fate has other ideas! CIPHER When an ultimatum sets Cipher on a path to find his bride, his first stop is the Royal Matchmaker. But Cipher doesn’t want just any woman. He needs a perfect lady dragon who can handle all that society has to throw at her. A human with a checkered past will never do. Not even when he’s certain that she’s his fated mate. STORM When Storm sets eyes on River, a human woman from a diplomatic delegation, he’s determined to make her his own. It’s a simple enough plan. Until an attack puts River, Storm, and two diplomatic delegations in danger. With only River to rely on, Storm will find exactly what his mate is made of. But can he convince his strong and feisty human to rely on him and accept him as her mate? DRAKE Claudia might have been born a simple Earth girl, but she’s spent the last few years traversing the universe and seeing things people back home would never believe. But she doesn’t want to end up as monster chow on an alien planet. When Drake arrives, she lets herself believe they just might escape. But an invisible monster is hunting them. How can they fight a monster they can’t see?
