Top three reasons I should stay away from Danek: 1. He’s on a super-secret, important mission for the Rebellion. He’ll be undercover on a hostile planet, surrounded by people that want to kill him. 2. He’s gorgeous. Entirely unattainable. Way, way out of my league. 3. I’m 40, but I’m supposed to pose as his fake fiancée. 4. And he’s a really, really good actor, because when he kisses me, it feels real. When he wraps his arms around me, I want to stay in his embrace forever. (Okay, fine, that’s four reasons.)

I'm caught between two alien warriors, sworn enemies intent on destroying each other. The one thing they agree on: I’m their mate. The prison planet is a dumpster fire. War is coming.

It’s not a hardship. After three months on the prison planet, I think I’m finally free of my demons. But my mates have been plotting to escape the prison planet. Without me.

Day 200-something on the Prison Planet...and things are finally settling down. Life is slowly getting back to normal. Babies that won't sleep through the night? Check. Pregnancy cravings?

It's time for a Draekon Holiday. Draekon Holiday is a short story set in the Dragons in Exile series. It does not stand-alone, and should be listened to after Draekon Rogue.

But there’s more to this girl than meets the eye. I may give her the discipline she craves, but she'll satisfy my darkest desires. She'll be my one, my only...my babygirl.

Siebold thinks that woman is me.

We're still stuck on the prison planet, and I'm pregnant. I cycle between three states. Hungry. Horny. Weepy. I eat french fries dipped in vanilla pudding. I look like a beached whale. I'm also scared. No one knows what my child will look like or what species she’ll be. She could be human or Draekon, or...something else entirely. Something new. Daughter of Draekons. Daughter of Draekons is a short story set in the Dragons in Exile series. It does not not stand alone and should be listened to after Draekon Destiny.
