Publisher Description
Back in high school, Annie Michaels was an outcast. Too short and plump with frizzy red hair, glasses, and braces, she was the poster child for unpopular. But now, ten years later, things have changed. Annie is still plus-sized but she’s ditched the glasses and braces and pays to have her hair straightened. She just wants to go to her high school reunion in peace and try to hook up with her old crush—the elusive Christian Wentworth.
Too bad a tall, dark Kindred warrior has other ideas for her.
Drugair of the Drake Kindred is annoyed when he starts Dream-Sharing with the luscious little redhead. He doesn’t have time to call a bride and besides, as a member of the Kindred Elite Espionage Corps, his job is too difficult and dangerous to complicate matters with a helpless Earth female. It also doesn’t help that he has a Darker Side—the Drake who lives inside him wants to claim Annie as theirs but Dru does everything he can to suppress it’s fiery desires. He tries to ignore the dreams and finds he can’t…he has to go to Annie.
But just because she’s been dreaming of Dru doesn’t mean Annie’s willing to drop everything and be his bride. It’s only after he rescues her from the reunion gone wrong that she begins to feel for him—enough that she stows away on his ship and gets caught up in his latest mission, tracking a terrorist to the Shadow Palace in the Maw Cluster millions of light years away.
While in the Shadow Palace, Annie has to pose as Dru’s x’aan-chow or “sex pet.” This new twist in their relationship brings them closer together but when Annie is threatened, Dru’s Darker Half takes over. When the Drake comes out, will it bring them closer together? Or will they both die as a result?

Yay Kindred!
Wonderful read as always. Thank-you Evangeline 😺😺😺
Good twists
This series is extensive and there is a lot of repeat but I thought this story and both characters were just new and different enough to make it a good addition to the series. Annie is a video game developer and was in the beginning written as a very strong career woman but...
I’m knocking off a star for the way they handled a certain situation, the one where the hero swoops in and saves the damsel was a major, major miss. If someone tries to kill you, has set the scene complete with a kill kit would you just shove that experience to the back of your mind? Really? Upon returning home from your off world adventure and your elderly neighbor tells you the psycho with a roll of knives and torture tools came looking for you would you simply push it to the back of your mind because you really need a shower and a nap and waltz in? No! No you would not! Annie does.
There a lot of serious situations that the author brings up in the entire series that she doesn’t handle appropriately and I usually just find it mildly irritating but your old high school crush being Dexter Morgan really deserves more fleshing out. It was a good and unique angle!
Loved
What an amazing story. I just love this type of Kindred. This was a little different the the one we had read in the past. I just loved this story.
Drugair was what was called a Drake Kindred. He was different then the other Drugair Kindred we read about in the past. He was one that was in control of his Drake. He never let it out. The Drake Kindred had like this beast that lives inside them. It is different then another kindred for it is like 2 souls living inside one body.
Drugair was a Kindred that had a lot of pride and lived for his job that he done for the Kindreds. He put the needs of his work over his own personal needs and this could cost him more then he is willing to give.
I loved Annie. She was more of a geeky girl. She had a past that was so painful but looking at what she became in her life show how strong of a woman she really was. She is chasing a dream she should not be chasing when it comes to her past though. It is very dangerous.
I love how well fit Drugair and Annie was. She was not scared of him and willing to speak her mind and put him in his place.
This story is full of danger, passion, and some pretty hot moments. Loved it and glad I got a chance to read it.
