Dragon's Flame

She wanted one reckless night.

He wants forever.

Fallon has finally found a home on Tajss.

After the tunnels, the desert, and the long, brutal work of survival, the Tribe's cave system offers something almost impossible: peace. Friends who feel like family. Work that matters. Traditions worth building beneath twin red suns.

What she does not need is Arawn.

He is too handsome, too persistent, and entirely too certain that the spark between them means something. Fallon knows better. Attraction is one thing. Letting a cocky Zmaj warrior get under her skin, into her bed, and anywhere near her carefully guarded heart is another problem entirely.

Then a mating celebration goes too far.

Fallon wakes in Arawn's bed with a pounding head, a missing stretch of memory, and the terrible certainty that she has made the one mistake she cannot laugh away. Arawn does not treat the night like a mistake. To him, what happened only proves what his dragon already knows.

Fallon is his.

She runs from the truth. Arawn lets her have distance. But Tajss has never cared much for convenient denial.

When Kate and Errol are sent to the suspicious New Village to build trade, open talks, and convince isolated humans that the wider settlement is not their enemy, Fallon and Arawn are pulled into the same mission. The same rover. The same tense negotiations. Eventually, the same battered room.

Avoiding him becomes impossible.

Resisting him becomes worse.

The New Village does not trust outsiders, Zmaj, or anyone asking them to give up control. But distrust becomes the least of their problems when invaders attack, bearing a symbol tied to the Zzlo and a hunger for kidnapping human survivors. Suddenly this uneasy diplomatic mission becomes proof that every settlement on Tajss is vulnerable.

Arawn shields Fallon through suspicion, danger, and a deadly meteor shower that burns across the sky. Every reckless act of protection makes her want the one thing she keeps refusing to name.

But choosing Arawn means more than admitting desire.

It means choosing forever. Family. A future on a world that keeps trying to take everything from them.

Fallon has spent too long surviving to let herself need anyone.

Arawn is ready to prove that surrendering to love does not tame her fire.

It gives it somewhere safe to burn.
