His Highness the Duke

By Michelle M. Pillow

Dragon Lords Series Book #5

The original Dragon Lords series by NYT Bestselling Author, Michelle M. Pillow.

The would-be heroine… 
Aeron wants nothing more than to live out her very long, solitary life in a small metal room listening to communications for the Federation Military. It’s not glamorous. It’s not even charming. But it’s safe and there’s no chance of getting hurt.

When she intercepts a communication about an impending attack on the Qurilixian people, she has no choice but to act. No one at the Federation seems inclined to do anything and it’s up to her to save them. Desperate, she enlists the help of her degenerate sister, whose only solution is to trick Aeron into signing up as a prospective bride to the primitive aliens she’s trying to rescue.

The man who did not need saved… 
Dragon-shifter nobleman Lord Bron, is not looking forward to his seventh failed attempt at a marriage ceremony. But when he sees the lovely Aeron he knows his years of waiting have finally paid off. Fate has blessed him with a life mate…

Or have they?

His new bride is insistent she’s not there for marriage, but for a mission. Dragon shifters mate for life and it’s up to Bron to convince her they are fated to be, or he’ll risk spending the rest of his days alone.
