Dragon's Protection - Red Planet Dragons of Tajss #16

About the Book

I survived slavery by making myself small. The enormous alien warrior who stole me from my captors may be the first male who has ever made me feel safe.

I know what powerful men can do.

I learned that lesson long before our generation ship crashed on Tajss, and alien slavery only carved it deeper. On the Zzlo ship, survival means staying quiet, obeying orders, and making myself useful enough to stay alive.

Then my captors land on Tajss.

A massive Zmaj warrior bursts from the sand, throws me over his shoulder, and carries me into the desert.

I think I have traded one captor for another.

I am wrong.

Lothor gives me food, shelter, and space. He watches every frightened reaction and backs away when I need him to. We do not speak the same language, but his actions tell me what words cannot.

He will protect me.

He will never force me.

And he wants me with an intensity that should terrify me.

Instead, it makes me feel alive.

Lothor has survived alone for years with only a winged kedi and the broken fragments of a past he cannot remember. I awaken something in him that has been sleeping beneath the bijass, while his patience begins healing wounds I thought would always control me.

Our hidden cave becomes a home. Fear becomes trust. Trust becomes desire.

But the Zzlo are still hunting us, and Tajss itself is slowly killing me.

The epis my body needs grows in tunnels carved by the deadliest creature beneath the desert. Reaching it could cost Lothor his life. Failing to reach it will cost mine.

He has already sworn he will never lose me.

To keep that promise, he may have to face the monsters beneath the sand, the slavers searching above it, and the buried memories that could destroy everything we have found together.
