Raising Draconas


Sara Lindley - 2016
    It took a lot to convince the High Council that the trip was very necessary to what was considered among all dragons as the ‘planet of filthy, low class humans’. The Planet Earth. Their mission was to collect as many Earth women as possible with latent Dragon DNA and take them back to Dracon to mate with other males before the Dragon Race goes extinct. Thanks to Reihal’s own mother, it’s the only solution that has proven successful in the past. On his last stop before returning home, he ‘collects’ a feisty, foul mouthed female who is a nasty fighter. Jana Claire wasn’t in the least bit happy to see an alien on her land stepping all over her prize soybeans. She let him know in no uncertain terms that she wasn’t going with him…under any circumstances! And then he kissed her. Reihal was convinced then and there this dirty female was his mate. Her scent alone told him she was his fated one and true love here on Earth. It was a embarrassing moment for the King. Jana Claire was comfortable with her life alone. Not happy but comfortable. Now that she was the only living soul left in her family, she still ran the multi generational organic farm. After her brother Jamie died she had men to try to marry her, but she found they just wanted her land. Not her. She had no idea the day she rode her horse Cornbread out to inspect her soybeans that she would meet an alien. Or that she’d be attacked, kissed and kidnapped by a ridiculously handsome alien with a tail, fangs and glowing eyes. She didn’t want to think about the forked tongue! Eww! King Reihal knows with this female, the fight is on and so is the mating fever. Jana retaliates and returns his arrogance and sloppy seduction with the fight of the century and drawing first blood. The fight moves from space, to his planet and into the Royal fortress. Their behavior entertains the whole royal household, guards and servants as they fight their way to the bedroom. Do they really hate each other? Or is it only part of the mating fever that is affecting them? Will they wind up killing each other or mate and make their dreams come true. They have enemies plotting against their sealing the bond and coming together as a united front. Reihal knows what he must do. He must mate with the human and have younglings. Then and only then can he convince his noble dragons they can be saved from extinction.
