Allie's Match

She knows he is her match.

He thinks he is too broken to claim her.

Allie has watched every woman around her find a Zmaj mate who looks at her like she is the center of the universe. She is happy for them. Truly. But being happy for someone else does not stop the ache of wanting that kind of love for herself.

Then Balan walks into their jungle refuge.

One look, and Allie feels everything click into place. The former Order warrior is huge, gorgeous, wounded in ways he refuses to show, and absolutely hers.

The problem? He keeps avoiding her.

Balan knows Allie is his treasure. His dragon knew it the moment he saw her. But he also knows what he was: a loyal warrior of the Order, a male who followed Kirmanda's lies, a fool who helped serve a corrupted brotherhood. What right does an oathbreaker have to claim a female as bright, soft, and brave as Allie?

So he keeps his distance.

Until the jungle nearly takes him from her.

When Balan and Bahr vanish on patrol near the ravine, Allie refuses to sit safely at home and wait for grief to find her. She joins Ziva and Rakstan on a desperate rescue mission through the deadly jungle, following broken signs, old tracks, and the pull in her heart that insists Balan is alive.

He is.

Barely.

Balan survives the river, the fall, the broken arm, the wounded wing, and the terrible truth that the Order's corruption runs deeper than any of them imagined. But when Allie reaches him, bruised and battered beneath the cliffs, all his careful resistance finally shatters.

She came for him.

She chose him before he ever found the courage to claim her.

Now the Order is closer than ever, Kirmanda's secrets point toward forbidden cloning and a war none of them can outrun, and Balan understands the truth he can no longer deny: there is no safe future for Allie unless they stop the Eye at the heart of it all.

He thought his broken vows made him unworthy.

She is about to prove love was the only vow that mattered.

Allie's Match is a steamy alien dragon romance featuring a wounded Zmaj warrior, fated-mate longing, a heroine who refuses to be left behind, hurt/comfort, dangerous jungle rescue, forced proximity, Order secrets, found tribe, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
