About this ebook
He shows her Tajss still has room for a future.
Kate knows how to survive.
After the generation ship crashed on Tajss, survival became her whole world. A hidden tunnel settlement. A damaged rover. Too little food. Too much heat. A leader who would rather control frightened women than risk hope. Kate has spent years doing what needs to be done, keeping her head down, fixing what she can, and refusing to imagine a life beyond the next dangerous day.
Then Errol walks out of the desert.
The Zmaj warrior should be terrifying. He is huge, winged, scaled, armed, and far too capable of making Kate forget every careful wall she has built. But he is also honorable, patient, clever, and gentle in a way that sneaks past her defenses. He looks at Kate as if she is more than useful.
As if she is wanted.
Errol has wounds of his own.
He survived the Devastation, the bijass, and the long years when grief made him turn away from the father he loved. In the Tribe, he has found purpose again, crafting beauty from meteorite glass and trying to live by the Edicts that keep his darker instincts controlled. Kate’s courage unsettles him. Her red hair haunts him. Her sharp mind and capable hands make him want things he has almost forgotten how to hope for.
But Kate is not free to simply choose herself.
Her people are still trapped in the tunnels, led by Annabel’s fear and cut off from the larger survivor communities growing across Tajss. When Kate’s broken rover, the promise of epis, and Errol’s knowledge of the planet pull them deeper into the world outside, every mile forces her to ask what she truly owes to the people she protected, and what she owes to her own heart.
The desert is not kind.
Guster danger, monstrous predators, brutal heat, and old distrust wait beyond every dune. The City, the Tribe, and Gomul’s tunnel settlement all hold pieces of a larger future, but bringing those pieces together means Kate must stand up to the woman who once held power over her, and Errol must face the father he feared he had lost forever.
Kate has spent years surviving.
Errol makes her want to live.
And if she can trust the warrior who sees her strength, her scars, and her secret longing for home, she may discover that Tajss is not only the planet where she crashed.
It is the place her heart has been waiting to belong.
Dragon's Heart is a steamy alien dragon romance featuring a practical rover-mechanic heroine, an honorable Zmaj warrior, found family, hidden tunnel survivors, forced proximity desert travel, protective alien devotion, father-son reconciliation, dangerous Tajss wildlife, meteorite-glass romance, a water ceremony, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
