Trusting the Dragon


Book Description

Finally divorced and free of her bastard ex-husband, Sarah MacKintosh Carter looks forward to living with the Scottish dragon clan and attempting a normal life. However, a letter arrives and says she has thirty days to mate a dragon-shifter, or she has to return to a human city. If she leaves, she knows her former in-laws will be determined to take custody of her sons. So the countdown begins on finding a dragonman to mate her. There’s just one rule: no falling in love so she can protect her heart. Hudson Wells hasn’t stopped thinking about the female he met by chance two years ago—she’s the only one he’s wanted in his life and his bed since the loss of his late mate. When the chance comes to claim Sarah as his own, Hudson puts his name forth to be her mate. Now he just needs to convince her to pick him. Despite the fact she’s divorced, Hudson soon discovers that Sarah was neglected, so he makes it his job to prove how desirable she really is. As Hudson does his best to persuade Sarah of how they’re combustible together in bed and a good team as parents out of it, her past comes back to haunt her. Not only does it threaten one of her sons, but it could also end up destroying the future she now yearns for with Hudson. Will she find a way to seize a happy ending for once? Or will Sarah end up losing everything she cares about?

Dragons Suck


Book Description

Harkness, a medieval peasant with a millennial’s mindset, is quite happy to sit back and make quips while everyone else does the hard work. His calculated laziness is interrupted when the gods send an ancient and terrible scourge-by-dragonfire upon his village, and he is forced (peer-pressured, really) into trying to save his fiancée from the dragon who has kidnapped her. When Harkness is sent by the village elder to find the one weapon that is capable of killing the beast, his real plan is to go off on his own and use his village’s money to live the high life. This, of course, would require ditching his two companions: Karla, an aspiring troubadour whose passion makes up for her lack of adventuring skills, and Aldric, whose kindheartedness does not make up for his lack of intelligence. Harkness sees this journey as a paid vacation under the pretense of world-saving, but it quickly turns serious when he realizes what’s at stake when he is forced to actually care about something—or at the very least, pretend to.

A Dragon to Trust


Book Description

She's sacrificed everything . . . Vivianne Blackstone has put life on hold for the sake of her world. Her company is tasked with building a prototype spaceship to protect Earth from the invading tribes. Over budget and behind schedule, Vivianne's frustration mounts, and she personally pays a visit to her pet project. She may have to sacrifice more . . . Her frustration is only beginning, because the instant she meets her genius chief engineer, Jordan McArthur, Vivianne's struck by a force she's never known. She wants him--a man she's just met. She needs him--a man she doesn't even like. But this raging desire is so not normal. Jordan looks as if he's seconds from tearing their clothes off. Clearly, Jordan is just as on edge, desperate to repress his need. "Something's . . . happening," he said through gritted teeth. "No . . .it's . . . not." Vivianne's words were an agonized lie. This was insane. Lust had obviously never pounded either of them like this. They were in danger. Earth was in danger. They might all die tomorrow. It didn't matter. They had to have one another. Now.

The Struggle and How We Slayed the Dragon


Book Description

From being successful business owners to going three years without income, losing significant clients, incurring major layoffs, betrayal, and exhausting personal finances, our story is meant to inspire small business owners, entrepreneurs, and those thinking of starting a business that the power of faith, trust, and perseverance can triumph all adversaries. As my wife and I look over the past twenty years that we have been in business, we are so grateful and humble for the love and support God has given to us. We are also grateful for God's strength during the most adverse times in our lives where the many setbacks and tribulations we've encountered almost wiped us out completely. We were one bad decision away from losing it all. However, through God's grace and mercy, he kept us in his righteous right hand the whole time. This book was written to be as transparent as possible in exposing to our readers the difficulties my wife and I encountered and endured as business owners. Expressing our emotional, financial, physical, and creatively fatigued stress and how we overcame each and every one of them is the sole purpose of this book! There aren't any business textbook principals discussed in this book, but there are many examples of how God changed our situations from bad to good. Whether you are single or married, in a business, there is always some significant other, wife, husband, or family member that is affected the same way as you are. So we decided, before we started writing this book, that we would give our individual perspectives so that everyone could actually relate and understand that whatever they are thinking during difficult times, they are not alone. Despite me and my wife's sixteen-year age difference, opposite personalities, different faiths, and being raised in different countries, we were able, through God's love and strength, to conquer our differences, doubts, and fears with confidence in knowing that if we stay grounded in the Word and patiently hold firm to our hope in God and consistently stay in prayer, he would give us the power to slay the dragon, and he certainly did! God bless each and every one of you!

Love is never as important as it is during a war. Gideon is in an odd position. He’s the first human ambassador to the Ogorth clan, and while he loves his new job, he could do without the war brewing.

But it won’t be easy.
