Water Dragon
Summary
A Dragon Shifter Novel Torrent took part in the much-anticipated hunt. Luckily, he managed to secure himself a female. Although the human was not his first choice, she'll do. A fertile female is a fertile female after all. An heir is what he needs and an heir is what she'll give him. In return, she'll get to be queen of the water kingdom. What more could a female wish for? Candy is hunted like an animal and won by an arrogant shifter who doesn't even want her. She doesn't care that he's a king. So what if he's really good looking and that underneath all that bristling, alpha male is a sweet guy. Although sweet is probably not the right description for the savage, water king. The only thing he's interested in is mating her, so that she can pop out lots of dragon shifter babies. Well, no thanks! She's not interested. As soon as she's able to get that through his thick skull, she's out of there. Torrent promised her she could leave if things didn't work out between them and she plans on holding him to his word. This book can be listened to as a standalone but would be best enjoyed as a part of the series. (Start with Chosen by the Vampire Kings.) Please note: The story contains strong sexual and violent themes/language and is not intended for listeners under the age of 18.

The only problem is, I’m a one-woman kind of man. In my line of work, I’ve seen it all. Nothing bothers me, until I find a woman’s wrecked body. When she blinked, my world changed. Forever doesn’t come close to giving me enough of her. From the author: "Enough features my ideal hero, an alpha-beta. They are the type of men that will open the door for you during the day and put you up against it at night. Enough is comical, with just a hint of drama. It isn't politically correct and will have you searching your favorite sex toy store. Enough is a stand-alone novel with no cliffhanger. You will meet characters that will reappear in future books."
