Dragon's Fated Mate - Red Planet Dragons of Tajss #18

About the Book

I already lost one mate. So did he. Neither of us believed Tajss could give us another.

I survived losing my husband by making sure no one could ever matter that much again.

The women in my group depend on me. Keeping them alive means staying in control, never showing weakness, and refusing to trust anyone who might disappear the moment I need him.

Then Calaun finds us in the desert.

The Zmaj warrior is calm where I am furious, patient when I try to drive him away, and far too honorable to abandon five human women who insist they can survive without him.

He saves us from a guster. He faces six Invaders to keep us free. He nearly dies getting us safely to the City.

And through all of it, he looks at me as if I am the only woman under the two red suns.

His treasure.

I tell myself it is only attraction. An itch. Something I can satisfy and forget.

But Calaun does not want one night. His dragon has chosen me as his fated mate, even though that should be impossible.

He already loved and lost a mate once.

So did I.

The more time we spend together, the harder it becomes to hide behind my anger. Calaun protects me without treating me as weak. He listens to my plans, respects my strength, and sees the grief beneath every sharp edge I use to keep the world away.

When an expedition to uncover a buried military base ends with a mysterious illness spreading among the Zmaj, Calaun must return to the secretive Order for help.

I have finally been offered a seat among the City's leaders. Following him could cost me the place I fought to earn.

Staying behind could cost me the male who taught me that loving again does not erase the man I lost.

We both believed fate only chose once.

Now we must decide whether two broken hearts can claim an impossible second forever.
