~Beyond the Darkness, #3 in the Dragons of San Delain series
AFTER WHAT felt like an eternity, Kit was suddenly jolted awake by a surge of excitement coursing through the bond. A bolt of adrenaline rushed to his limbs, urging him to sit up and scan the room frantically. His gaze was immediately drawn to the hoard’s door. His mates were out there, eager to unlock it so they could finally get to him.
The door swung open with a loud creak, and Hudson burst through like a force of nature. His strides were long and purposeful, his gaze fixed on the target in front of him. Kit’s breath caught as he watched Hudson approach.
He’d always thought Hudson was sexy, but there was something different about him now. A raw, untamed energy emanated from every inch of his body, giving off an air of danger and unbridled sensuality.
It was both intimidating and alluring at the same time. Hudson’s eyes were still the color of his dragon, and redness rode on his cheeks. His long hair flew around him as he advanced toward Kit.
Connie’s short hair was becomingly messy, and there was color on his cheeks too. The stubble on his jawline only added to his rugged appearance. His eyes were human brown and blazed with intensity, yet they practically glowed with warmth and affection.
Jumping to his feet, Kit threw himself at Hudson. Connie slammed into both of them, and Kit wrapped an arm around Connie’s neck, pulling him in for a desperate kiss.

Teaser from #3 of the Dragons of San DeLain
Rage surged through Kit’s veins as a wild,animalistic fury filled him. He caught his breath in shock. Hudson, and thatwas definitely Hudson’s feelings, was consumed by an intense and deadly angerthat radiated from him like a scorching fire that promised to unleash chaos anddestruction.
“Holy shit, what just happened?” Kit muttered tohimself, because he was positive he’d never felt such anger from Hudson.
A wave of reassurance washed over Kit through thebond, emanating from Connie like a warm embrace. However, it was quicklyfollowed by Hudson’s intense anger. Kit couldn’t be sure if the reassurance wasdirected towards him, but he assumed it was.
Hudson oddly enough seemed… almost disconnected? Thatreally didn’t describe the feeling he got from Hudson. The bond was stillthere, and Hudson hadn’t shut it down, but it was almost as if whateverfeelings coming through were almost… secondary?
Like they were Hudson’s but not Hudson’s. Which madeabsolutely no sense, because of course it was Hudson… unless what Kit wasfeeling was actually from the dragon.
Suddenly possessiveness flared along the lines of thebond, along with a primitive feeling of… devotion? Commitment? Dedication?Along with covetousness, cravings, eagerness, and greediness. It glimmered andpulsed with each emotion that passed through it.
The possessiveness was visible as the bond tightenedand constricted, while devotion and commitment were shown through its steady,unwavering glow. The bond also revealed eagerness and greediness, flickering inanticipation of what was to come.
And at the center of it all was love, radiating with abrilliant brightness that seemed to envelop everything around it. Kit lookedon, breathless, as he witnessed the power of this love connecting them.
Love?
Kit gulped.
It was a love so pure and all-consuming, it was almostblinding to behold. The three of them had been dancing around with that for awhile now, but there was no denying what he was feeling was from Hudson’sdragon. Eternal love—something so big and so vast, Kit could barely wrap hishuman mind around it.
The bond between them pulsed with love andunderstanding, like two puzzle pieces finally fitting together perfectly.
Wonder flowed along the bond too from Connie, alongwith much of the same feelings he was picking up from Hudson. Wonder and joy,plus warmth. Yup, that was his Connie. Although Connie’s feelings didn’t seemto be quite so primal, so maybe Connie was still in his human form.
The anger slowly bledaway and contentment invaded Kit.October 28, 2024

Thursday Book Recommendation
These are books I’ve read and really enjoyed. Most of what I talk about will probably be paranormal/scifi but not always. Although it’s rare, I do read some contemporary.
This week is: Gloombringer (The Summertide Chronicles Book 1) by Sam Burns
Blurb:
For decades, the four families who rule the Summerlands have been locked at an impasse. No one is fighting, but neither has anyone been speaking.
We don’t have time for that anymore.
Mount Slate, the volcano that sits in the middle of the Summerlands, is threatening to erupt, and only the four family heads working together can avert disaster.
As the right-hand man of the Gloombringer, it’s been up to me to convince first my boss, and now the rest to put aside their differences and work together for the good of the world. The problem is that not everyone is all that interested in the good of the world—not unless they get something out of it. Even worse, I now find myself distracted by the Moonstriker’s envoy, Rain. He’s intelligent and handsome and for the first time in my life, I’m struggling to focus on work. But I have to.
It’s up to us to save the world.
If we can.
Gloombringer is the first of four books in The Summertide Chronicles, featuring one right hand man trying to save the world, one future family head trying to seduce him, one woman badly in need of another drink, and a plethora of people trying to keep them from their goals. It ends with Rain and Adair's HFN, but also contains a overarching storyline that will follow the entire series.

Connie’s heart skipped a beat as he understood what hewas seeing. But quickly he shut that down before it passed along the bondtoward Kit. That was the last thing their mate needed, especially when he waslocked up underground.
From the corner of his eye, he saw Beckett and Audreyalso take to the sky.
The three of them would handle whatever else mightcome their way, while Connie stayed in his human form. Someone had to be ableto give orders if needed until Hudson changed back. He watched his mate fly tointercept the missile coming directly at their home.
There was a bone chilling roar, then a huge line offire. Within seconds there was a massive explosion, but it was still far enoughaway that it did not cause problems.
What if they hadn’t spotted that missile in time? Whatif it had managed to hit its target? While it was doubtful any of their dragonswould’ve have been killed, they could’ve been hurt. Badly. They could lose bodyparts as easily as anyone else.
And he didn’t want to think what it could have done toKit, who was not a dragon. Baring his teeth, he answered Hudson’s rage-filledroar with one of his own.
Someone would pay for this.
