RENEGADE DRAGON
Dragon Heat Book #4
by Lolita Lopez
(October 4, 2016; Forever Yours eBook; $1.99)
NOTHING IS HOTTER THAN DRAGON’S FIRE
When her best friend disappears, bio-engineering student Eris
Jones embarks on the quest of her life. Her search leads to a secluded estate
where she experiences visions of a powerful, winged creature who's transformed
into a tall, dangerously sexy man at her touch. But the feel of his rock-hard
abs and lean, sinewy arms tells Eris this is no dream . . . it's real.
Niko Drakon is dangerous and he knows it. When the call to mate is
too strong, he has no choice but to lock himself away in his basement saferoom.
Otherwise, people get hurt. The moment Eris walks into his home, nothing can
keep him from claiming her. However, she could also be the key to
bringing down the dragons' greatest enemy, which leaves Niko with a devastating
choice: keep Eris for himself or lose her to the cause he's served for most of
his life . . .
My
woman.
It was a primitive thought and one Nico
should be ashamed for thinking…but he wasn't. He didn't even know her name, but
he knew that she was his. After all the years of secretly hoping that someday
his mate might cross his path, he didn't dare believe his luck that she was so
beautiful. If anything could tempt him to forsake his vows to the Brotherhood,
it was this staggeringly pretty woman. The thought of having his own mate, of
sharing the same happiness his friends had found, sent hope burning through him
like wildfire.
Despite the rain soaking them from head to
toe, he caught the sweet, earthen scent of female dragon blood mixed in with
all that human.
She
is my mate.
But she had stolen and eaten one of his
family's treasured apples, and that meant she had earned a swift death for her
theft. Unless, of course, he argued that as his mate she was his family and
therefore had every right to one of the apples that was under his—their—guard. He was the head of the
Drakon tribe. It would be his decision that stood on this matter.
He carried his delicious-smelling mate down
to the second cell he kept in his well-fortified basement. After destroying the
first one, he might need the chains and the door of the second to keep his
frightened little dragon hybrid in place. If she refused to touch him, he would
quickly revert back to his beastly form and scare the hell out of her.
He barred the door behind them but
remembered the way she had so easily picked the locks on his home. He placed
his palm against the metal and silently whispered a warding spell before
drawing the necessary symbols with his fingers. She wouldn't be getting out of
here without him.
Safely tucked away with his mate, he
carried her to the back wall of the cell and grasped one of the long chains and
cuffs. Carefully, he set her down and quickly wrapped the cuff around both of
their wrists. She let loose a gasp and jerked hard enough that he actually lost
his balance. She kicked out her leg, but he dodged at the last second. His hand
shot out to protect her pretty head from slamming into the stone wall.
"Stop!" The word came out harsher
than he had intended. Her eyes widened at his rough tone. He hated seeing fear
on her face, but he loved that the light in the cell allowed him to see her
real eye color. The greyish blue irises staring back at him were astonishingly
beautiful against her rich brown skin. "Please," she said with a
little sob that tore at his heart.
Gently, he rubbed her arm. "You'll
only hurt yourself if you insist on jerking on these chains. We have to stay
this way tonight."
"I'm your prisoner?"
You're
my mate.
But he didn't say that. "Yes. Unless you want to see the winged version of
me again, you had better keep your hand on me at all times, understand?"
She swallowed nervously and squirmed but
didn't try to tug away from him. "What are you?"
His eyebrow arched. "You know."
She shook her head. "I don't."
"Yes, you do." He touched her
cheek and silently rejoiced when she didn’t flinch or pull away from him. The
spicy scent of arousal drifting from her skin made his mouth water, but it
wasn't even close to the potency of a mating heat. If she had very diluted
dragon blood, she might need him to make love to her before a full mating heat
would take effect.
Wanting her to name him, he tapped her
chin. "Say it. Tell me what I am."
She lifted her anxious, disbelieving gaze
to his face. A spark of determination brightened her unusual eyes.
"Dragon. You're a dragon."

While browsing bookstore shelves as a teenager, Lo discovered the
erotic writings of Anaïs Nin and A.N. Roquelaure. Certain her mother would not
approve, Lo smuggled the books home and squirreled them away in the most likely
of places: under her bed. Late at night, she delved into the sensual
worlds both writers created.
As a co-ed studying biochemistry and genetics at Texas A&M
University, Lo dabbled in creating naughty tales to entertain her friends.
Study for a midterm or pen a deliciously dirty story to delight her small band
of fans? Not surprisingly, Lo is now on an extended sabbatical from college.
Luckily, Lo stumbled onto the world of erotic romance publishers.
She realized there were other readers and writers who loved and craved
breathtaking romance with the spiciest of love scenes. She took a chance and
submitted her first novella. The rest is history.
Lo lives in Texas with her husband, daughter and big blubbering
Great Dane with mommy issues.
