Devin has a child… and a very pregnant wife. Regardless of what fate may have had in mind for Maks, Devin simply isn’t available.

When Ben finally finds him, though, his mate isn’t at all what he expected. Zander is a loong, a wingless Chinese dragon and the child of fated mates himself.

Then in February it was returned to me, because SMP had not received enough submissions to put out the anthology. I was going to just file it, but I thought, what the hell, I might as well post it here for a while.The anthology call was for stories about an encounter between a human and one of the Fair Folk on Midsummer’s Night. No HEA or HFN ending required. And that’s what I wrote. The end isn’t particularly dark or painful, but the guys don’t walk off into the sunset either. The fae are often complicated and seldom kind, to each other or to the humans they meet by moonlight.
