Dragons awaken to once again reign over the skies.
 

Upon eruption of a volcano, Ari awakens to a changed world, and a knowing that his dragon's mate is near. He saves her twice—once as a dragon, and again as a man—and wins her confidence. 

Hope cried out, moaning, “just change me with pleasure?” 

Hope is restless and unfulfilled until she meets Ari, the man of her fantasies. The sensual tension between them heightens with every touch. When their passion explodes, Hope gets pulled into the dragon's mating ritual...and into a world of erotic sensation she never dreamed existed but now cannot live without.

It's here! Stealing Hope ~ Black Friday Special


Black Friday Special
Only .99 through Friday!


Volcanoes shake the land, stirring awake the dragons that live deep within its depths. Rising, awakened to a changed world, Ari heads out to explore. Mankind has been decimated. The earth once again green and growing. An instinct inside him is growing, one that can only be bringing him to the one person fate has created just for him – his dragon’s mate.


Attacked by wild dogs and minutes away from being a cougar’s meal while out hunting, Hope is suddenly snatched into the sky by a creature that can’t be real. Dragons are only real in myths and legends. Stealing Hope away, Ari doesn’t realize that she feels in greater danger from him. His only thought is to rescue his mate.

Hope injures the creature to escape. Her choice to be eaten or fall to her death in the waters below. Now shapeshifted to a man, Ari rescues her. Hope begs him to take her to her family not knowing he was the creature that stole her.

Each touch between Ari and Hope sends a sensual tension wrapping around them both. Passion explodes, igniting fires hotter than dragon flame. Ari’s passion spirals Hope into the mating ritual. The sensual and erotic sensations wind through Hope, making her crave more as her soul reaches for satisfaction.

Hope doesn’t know that the ritual will change her into a dragon, changing her life for all time and binding her forever with the man whose touch sets her aflame in this erotic paranormal romance.

Psst. Dragons are coming...

STEALING HOPE
A DRAGON'S FATED HEART

  Ari stirred, sniffing the air. It was different again, cleaner. He wondered how many years had passed since his last awakening. He set his head back on his hatch mates back. Raising his head up again, Ari glanced around, his golden eyes whirling with color. He no longer had a desire to sleep.

 Ari stood, sniffing and stretching. Looking around he noticed some of his hatch mates also rising.

 “It smells different.” Juevatorj rumbled. Her eyes were whirling, sparkling in the darkness of the cave. “It is clean.”

  Ari sniffed the air again and rumbled in agreement. Crag stretched his wingspan to full-length. All around wings were stretched and tested. Air moved quickly with a half a dozen of them waking up to the world again.

  “Not everyone is waking up.” Ari peered at the ones still curled up together. They blinked at those of them moving around and closed their eyes, not yet interested in the outside world.

Juevatorj bumped heads with Ari. “That’s okay.”

“Yes, that is okay.” A deeper baritone wound through the cave. All of those awake turned their heads toward the sound. “Come my little ones. I will explain.”

Ari, Juevatorj, Crag, Belisa, Hark and Rog lumbered off after the sound of the voice coming from a tunnel that wandered through the cave. At one point they had to swim through the lava. Warmth wrapped around them and they played until they were sharply called to follow. The second voice was a lighter tenor, firm and instant; one they knew better than to disobey. At once, they ceased their games and continued the circuitous path, sniffing at the gold and silver, and collecting bits of colored gems they dug out of the walls.

Ari was the first to stumble out. Rearing back, he was shoved from behind, pushed into the light as his eyes whirled in the too bright sun. He rolled forward, his momentum stopped by a rock. He and his hatch mates chirped in distress, the sudden light harsh against eyes that had spent centuries in darkness, relieved only by the glow of lava.

Deep trilling sounded as they all came to rest outside. Their sire and dam were laughing at their less than graceful exit.

  “Juevatorj, come out of the cave.” Their sire spoke and Juevatorj crept out, belly against the ground and head tucked low. “Do not be afraid.” They had learned to trust that voice since before even hatching.

“Use your first lids, protect your eyes.” Their dam spoke.

Ari and his siblings rumbled happily. Her voice was one of their first memories in the egg.

Their sire and dam spoke often to them, comforting them in the shell. Letting them know how wonderful they were, how beautiful and strong. They greeted them upon each awakening.

 Ari blinked and discovered that the light was not as bright when he opened his eyes again. He trilled in triumph, arching back and spreading his wings in joy. His siblings too, let forth their joy as they learned to control the brightness.

“Very good, my little ones.” His sire had a look of contentment on his face. “We can once again join in the world. We have been sleeping a very long time.”

Blogging from A to Z: Fate


F is for Fate
fate
fāt/
noun
  1. 1.
    the development of events beyond a person's control, regarded as determined by a supernatural power.
    "fate decided his course for him"
    synonyms:destinyprovidence, the stars, chanceluck,serendipityfortunekismetkarma
    "what has fate in store for me?"


  2. 2.
    GREEK & ROMAN MYTHOLOGY
    the three goddesses who preside over the birth and life of humans. Each person's destiny was thought of as a thread spun, measured, and cut by the three Fates, Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos.
    synonyms:the weird sisters;
    the Parcae, the Moirai, the Norns; 
    ‘Clotho,Lachesis, and Atropos’

    synonyms:be predestined, be preordained, be destined, be meant, be doomed;

I love the thought of fate. I based my coming series of dragon shifters on it. A Dragon's Fated Heart series. Stealing Hope (book 1) is due out in August 2015. 
Not everything depends on fate. There is still freewill.

In mythology the goddesses were always having trouble with people and other gods/goddesses trying to change fate. One string cut in the wrong spot or a string put back together that should have been cut changes the fabric of reality. 

So, fate can be fluid. Perhaps just certain actions are preordained. The minutiae of daily life may not change the person you are fated to be with. 

In the case of my dragon shifters, fate kicks in when their mate is ready. No lusting over someone too young or not ready. Here's a short excerpt to explain:

Stealing Hope excerpt:

Ari and his siblings looked at each other and nodded. On occasion he and Crag had snuck out and closer to the surface, curious. But in the past few centuries nothing had called to them, nothing as exciting as the lure of gold to add to their stashes, as fun as digging raw gems from the earth. Now Ari could feel an insistent pull towards the north. Crag was sneaking similar peeks in that direction. Together they would explore like they had as hatchlings.
“You all feel a pull.” They nodded at their dam’s words. “This happens when your mate is born. Follow the directions where your heart pulls you. They might have years to go to be ready for you, so acquaint yourselves with the world around you.” She proudly gazed at them.
“Be cautious. Be careful. Your mates will need you strong and brave in this world. You must fit in to survive.” They nodded, taking his words to heart. Their sire cast a look, THE look in Ari and Crag’s direction. “You two. Behave.” Ari and Crag’s eyes whirled in amusement as their dam shook her head.
