Bella: When I came to the subterranean kingdom of Driegon as a mail-order bride, I didn't expect the dragon king to sweep me off my feet, take flight, and claim me as his mate. He says a mythical mating ritual called the Torrent proves we're fated. Yeah, sure. Then I find out he's almost engaged. He insists he'll find a way for us to be together, but I've fallen for pretty lies before, and I won't give my heart again easily. Malac: To end a war among the factions of my Driegon people, I must marry the daughter of a rival warlord. I've accepted my fate. Until I meet Bella, one of three Earthlings brought to my kingdom as mail-order brides. One touch, and my blood roars through me - the first sign of the Torrent. We're fated and I ache to claim her, yet I cannot betray my people. But the heart of a dragon will not be denied. Malac is book 1 in the Brides of Driegon series. This standalone, full-length story has in-the-book heat, aliens who look and act alien, a guaranteed happily ever after, no cheating, and no cliffhanger.
