To Seduce A Dragon Venys Needs Men

My name is Jaya, a dreamer, bola slinger, and one of ten guardians in my tribe. I was content to live out my days keeping watch on the village, hunting, and batting away insects that flew too close to the prissy women chosen to birth the next generation.My life was nothing like theirs. I spent way too much time burying my secret in the dirt, over and over, to make sure of it. Gods no. That wasn't my future...Until the sky lit up and an angry star sent all the Mist tribes into a desperate frenzy for the beasts of legend to bleed new life into our people.It wasn't supposed to turn out this way.I didn't mean to touch him, but what's done is done. Do I have what it takes to seduce a dragon? Don't know, but hold my bola-I'm about to find out.

Claiming a dragon is as easy as a single touch, but claiming his heart is another matter entirely. The tribes have been dying beneath the desert sun for as long as they can remember. With fewer and fewer males birthed, there is little hope of survival. Humanity is doomed. The yearly blooming is a season of fertility and new life-and the time when the males choose new brides. But Elliya has no desire to become another wife amongst many to a spoiled man. She longs for more. She longs for love. When the Red Star appears in the sky on the night she is to be chosen, Elliya knows it is her chance to make her own choice. She ventures out beneath the blood moon to prove the old legends true-to claim a dragon as her mate. But even if she can forge the legendary bond with her dragon, can she win the most important prize of all? Can she conquer the dragon's heart? ----- VENYS NEEDS MEN To Touch a Dragon by Naomi Lucas To Desire a Dragon by Amanda Milo To Tame a Dragon by Tiffany Roberts To Seduce a Dragon by Poppy Rhys

Her scent lured a dragon, yet it is her heart he wants to claim. In a single night of terror, everything Leyloni knows and loves is destroyed-her home left in flames, her friends and family dead, her way of life erased. She flees with the only other survivor, a baby named Serek. In a world where males are rarely born, Serek is precious beyond measure, and Leyloni must put aside her grief and pain to take him somewhere safe. The only sanctuary she knows of is a friendly village on the far side of the Endless Forest. It is a harrowing journey for a huntress to make on her own, more so with a babe. But Leyloni soon realizes she is not alone-she is being stalked by something far more dangerous than any raiders. The beast is massive with a scaled hide, wicked claws, and sharp teeth. His eyes are like violet lightning, his roar like thunder. He is a dragon. And he intends to make her his. ----- VENYS NEEDS MEN This collaborative series are all standalones and can be read in any order. Every dragon is unique!

Our coastline is craggy stone cliffs in the distance, warm beach sand when we want to sunbathe, and the most vivid turquoise water you've ever laid your eyes upon.Welcome to Titan's Tears Cove, near the Titan volcano, and centered equidistant from the closest dragon-danger zones of Flame Pass and Ember Pass.But they aren't too close. Unlike the Gulf of Mermaids colony on the other side of Venys, our tribe is made up of only my sisters, and we are so quietly tucked away that we aren't often hunted by anything here.At least, that was the case until a lone dragon got too curious. And hungry. Little do I know that I'm about to be snatched up for a dragon's lunch. Another thing I'm clueless about? One touch of the wrong female to the wrong place on a dragon can strike a matebond for life.Even if a bonding should be impossible. After all, how can a creature that soars through the sky--a dragon, for the high seas' sake!--be forever-mated to a mermaid?Note: This is a 22K Standalone Short Story for readers 18+. **No wereopossums or trolls were harmed in the making of this book. However, there are some slightly disturbing events for a couple of unlucky mermen. Tragic, certainly, but you know how it is: Dragons get possessive of their lady.

WINNER of the 2019 World Fantasy Award for Best Novel, and a finalist for the Nebula Award, the Locus Award, and the Lammy Award! One of the 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time, according to Time Magazine One of the best books of 2018, according to NPR, Publishers Weekly, BuzzFeed, the Chicago Review, BookPage, and the B&N Sci-Fi and Fantasy Blog. The Kingston Cycle is One of Reader's Digest Top 25 Best Fantasy Series Ever Written C. L. Polk arrives on the scene with Witchmark, a stunning, addictive fantasy that combines intrigue, magic, betrayal, and romance. The New York Times calls it “thoroughly charming and deftly paced... an accomplished and enjoyable debut.” In an original world reminiscent of Edwardian England in the shadow of a World War, cabals of noble families use their unique magical gifts to control the fates of nations, while one young man seeks only to live a life of his own. Magic marked Miles Singer for suffering the day he was born, doomed either to be enslaved to his family's interest or to be committed to a witches' asylum. He went to war to escape his destiny and came home a different man, but he couldn’t leave his past behind. The war between Aeland and Laneer leaves men changed, strangers to their friends and family, but even after faking his own death and reinventing himself as a doctor at a cash-strapped veterans' hospital, Miles can’t hide what he truly is. When a fatally poisoned patient exposes Miles’ healing gift and his witchmark, he must put his anonymity and freedom at risk to investigate his patient’s murder. To find the truth he’ll need to rely on the family he despises, and on the kindness of the most gorgeous man he’s ever seen. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

From the bestselling, World Fantasy Award-winning author of Witchmark comes a sweeping, romantic new fantasy set in a world reminiscent of Regency England, where women’s magic is taken from them when they marry. A sorceress must balance her desire to become the first great female magician against her duty to her family. Beatrice Clayborn is a sorceress who practices magic in secret, terrified of the day she will be locked into a marital collar that will cut off her powers to protect her unborn children. She dreams of becoming a full-fledged Magus and pursuing magic as her calling as men do, but her family has staked everything to equip her for Bargaining Season, when young men and women of means descend upon the city to negotiate the best marriages. The Clayborns are in severe debt, and only she can save them, by securing an advantageous match before their creditors come calling. In a stroke of luck, Beatrice finds a grimoire that contains the key to becoming a Magus, but before she can purchase it, a rival sorceress swindles the book right out of her hands. Beatrice summons a spirit to help her get it back, but her new ally exacts a price: Beatrice’s first kiss . . . with her adversary’s brother, the handsome, compassionate, and fabulously wealthy Ianthe Lavan. The more Beatrice is entangled with the Lavan siblings, the harder her decision becomes: If she casts the spell to become a Magus, she will devastate her family and lose the only man to ever see her for who she is; but if she marries—even for love—she will sacrifice her magic, her identity, and her dreams. But how can she choose just one, knowing she will forever regret the path not taken?

Popular marriage counselor and seminar leader John Gray provides a unique, practical and proven way for men and women to communicate and relate better by acknowledging the differences between them. Once upon a time Martians and Venusians met, fell in love, and had happy relationships together because they respected and accepted their differences. Then they came to earth and amnesia set in: they forgot they were from different planets. Using this metaphor to illustrate the commonly occurring conflicts between men and women, Gray explains how these differences can come between the sexes and prohibit mutually fulfilling loving relationships. Based on years of successful counseling of couples, he gives advice on how to counteract these differences in communication styles, emotional needs and modes of behavior to promote a greater understanding between individual partners. Gray shows how men and women react differently in conversation and how their relationships are affected by male intimacy cycles ("get close", "back off"), and female self-esteem fluctuations ("I'm okay", "I'm not okay"). He encourages readers to accept the other gender's particular way of expressing love, and helps men and women learn how to fulfill each other's emotional needs. With practical suggestions on how to reduce conflict, crucial information on how to interpret a partner's behavior and methods for preventing emotional "trash from the past" from invading new relationships, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus is a valuable tool for couples who want to develop deeper and more satisfying relationships with their partners.

An alien assassin. A tempting human female he can't resist. But what can a killer offer to the woman he longs to claim? Avery Watson moved to Denver to escape her controlling mother. Sure, it's not easy, and she has to budget every penny, but it's honest work. Plus, her new friends don't care if she doesn't wear makeup, don't glare at her if she laughs too loud or snorts, don't judge her if she geeks out about books and games. For the first time, she's content. And then she meets the tall, long-haired, sexy as sin Hunter Coleman. This powerful, mysterious man isn't the sort that small, freckled, awkward women like Avery usually attract. But apparently one slice of cherry pie is all it takes to draw his attention to her. Now his dark, intense eyes follow her every move. She should be worried, but he makes her feel safe. He makes her feel...wanted. Yet Hunter is even more dangerous than he seems, and he's not a man at all. He's a red-eyed alien assassin with claws, fangs, and a tail, a ruthless warrior with a shadowy past who wants Avery to be his. He's everything Avery should fear-he's everything she desires. And he'll stop at nothing to make her his lifemate. There's just one problem-he's not the only alien targeting her, and his rivals don't seem to have Avery's best interests in mind. --- Stalked by the Alien Assassin is a 155k word slow burn romance with plenty of steam.Warning: It is a little darker compared to the previous books in this series, and does contain violence.

Excerpt from The Cechs (Bohemians) In America: A Study of Their National, Cultural, Political, Social, Economic and Religious Life I do not describe Gech America as a tourist who passes hurriedly through a foreign country and records the impressions Of the moment; I write as a close relative, a member Of the family, who for thirty-nine years has lived uninterruptedly in Cech America or very close to its border. I know it in its holiday attire and in its working clothes. I know its faults, which are many, and its virtues, which, I like to think, outweigh them. A residence Of seven years in Omaha, spent partly in a newspaper Office, partly in a law Office, gave me a rare Opportunity to Observe at close range the evolution Of the virile settler Of the Middle West, while life in large cities (in New York since 1894) has brought me in direct and daily contact with the men and women who live in those queer but cozy corners Of America called, somewhat patronizingly, foreign quarters.
