THE MERMAID AND THE DRAGON. Our coastline is craggy stone cliffs in the distance, warm beach sand when we want to sunbathe, and the most vivid turquoise water you’ve ever laid your eyes upon. Welcome to Titan’s Tears Cove, near the Titan volcano, and centered equidistant from the closest dragon-danger zones of Flame Pass and Ember Pass. But they aren’t too close... moreTHE MERMAID AND THE DRAGON. Our coastline is craggy stone cliffs in the distance, warm beach sand when we want to sunbathe, and the most vivid turquoise water you’ve ever laid your eyes upon. Welcome to Titan’s Tears Cove, near the Titan volcano, and centered equidistant from the closest dragon-danger zones of Flame Pass and Ember Pass. But they aren’t too close. Unlike the Gulf of Mermaids colony on the other side of Venys, our tribe is made up of only my sisters, and we are so quietly tucked away that we aren’t often hunted by anything here. At least, that was the case until a lone dragon got too curious. And hungry. Little do I know that I’m about to be snatched up for a dragon’s lunch. Another thing I’m clueless about? One touch of the wrong female to the wrong place on a dragon can strike a matebond for life. Even if a bonding should be impossible. After all, how can a creature that soars through the sky—a dragon, for the high seas’ sake! —be forever-mated to a mermaid? Note: This is a 22K Standalone Short Story for readers 18+. **No wereopossums or trolls were harmed in the making of this book. However, there are some slightly disturbing events for a couple of unlucky mermen. Tragic, certainly, but you know how it is: Dragons get possessive of their lady. less

The last man in our tribe told me that dragons are small and fierce, and when they bond to someone, they’ll protect them with their life. This is what our tribe needs--a protector. Our males are being stolen by raiding clans, and with the man-shortage like it is, we can’t afford to lose any more. Armed with a fishhook and a glaring naiveté, I set off to catch my dragon. I catch him alright. And I find out a few things. One: dragons aren’t small. Two: dragons don’t like fishhooks... moreThe last man in our tribe told me that dragons are small and fierce, and when they bond to someone, they’ll protect them with their life.

I was content to live out my days keeping watch on the village, hunting, and batting away insects that flew too close to the prissy women chosen to birth the next generation.

Claiming a dragon is as easy as a single touch, but claiming his heart is another matter entirely. The tribes have been dying beneath the desert sun for as long as they can remember. With fewer and fewer males birthed, there is little hope of survival. Humanity is doomed. The yearly blooming is a season of fertility and new life—and the time when the males choose new brides. But Elliya has no desire to become another wife amongst many to a spoiled man. She longs for more. She longs for love... moreClaiming a dragon is as easy as a single touch, but claiming his heart is another matter entirely.
