I am carrying his child. He does not know. And the mountain may bury him before I can tell him. Tamara has always survived by being fierce, independent, and impossible to control. She loves deeply, but trusting someone with the damaged pieces of her past is another matter entirely. Then the nausea begins. The healer confirms what Tamara already fears. She is pregnant with Kri'sin's child. Her alien warrior will be overjoyed.
Tamara is certain of that. Kri'sin has never hidden his devotion, his desire for a family, or his belief that she is the treasure fate created for him. But Tamara grew up with a mother who told her they were both broken. What if she was right?Terrified she will repeat the same cycle of emotional neglect, Tamara keeps the pregnancy secret. Fear twists into anger. Every attempt Kri'sin makes to help feels like pressure, and every loving touch reminds her how much she stands to lose.
She pushes him away without telling him why. Kri'sin knows something is wrong. He does not know how to fix it. Giving Tamara the space she demands feels unbearable, so the newly promoted warrior throws himself into duty. When signs suggest the Urr'ki are preparing something dangerous beneath the mountain, Kri'sin leads a patrol deeper into forbidden territory. Then the mountain moves. An earthquake tears through the underground settlement and traps Kri'sin beneath tons of stone with a badly injured Urr'ki warrior.
The enemy he has been taught to hate may be the only person who can help him survive. As Kri'sin protects the wounded male and begins questioning generations of bloodshed, Tamara wakes from the disaster with a concussion, a threatened future, and one devastating certainty. Kri'sin may die without ever knowing about their baby. Tamara refuses to let the mountain take him. With her closest friends beside her, she joins the desperate effort to dig him free while confronting the voice of her mother that has controlled her for far too long.
Kri'sin has always believed Tamara is his future. To claim that future, he must survive the darkness, trust an enemy, and return to the woman who has been keeping the most important secret of their lives. Tamara must finally believe that the fear of becoming her mother is proof she already cares enough to become someone better. Dragon's Secret Baby is a steamy secret-pregnancy alien romance featuring an unexpected baby, a devoted dragon warrior, a heroine healing from childhood trauma, fated mates, relationship conflict, forced separation, enemies forced to cooperate, an earthquake, dangerous cave rescues, found family, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
