She is afraid to be touched. He is gentle enough to wait until she reaches for him. Inga has survived the crash, the desert, and the dangers of Tajss, but some wounds do not heal just because the threat is gone. The Tribe has become a kind of home. There is work to do, friends who care, and new traditions taking root beneath the twin red suns. Everyone around her seems to be finding love, safety, and a future.
Inga wants to believe that can happen for her too. Then a male gets too close, and fear steals her breath. Samil sees what others miss. He is not the biggest Zmaj warrior. Not the loudest. Not the bold, dominant protector he thinks a worthy mate should be. He has spent his life believing he is less than the other males, useful only when stronger warriors allow it. But when he looks at Inga, all he sees is beauty, courage, and the female he would give anything to protect.
He has loved her quietly for longer than he dares admit. When the Tribe sets out for the oasis and a human holiday about love sparks an idea for gifts, sweetness, and celebration, Inga and Samil are pulled closer than either of them expects. A stolen conversation. A shy smile. A hand offered without demand. For the first time in too long, Inga begins to feel safe with a male. Then danger strikes. Friends are taken.
The desert becomes a rescue trail, and Inga and Samil are the ones left to follow it. Alone together beneath the burning suns, they must cross deadly sands, evade Urr'ki threats, face monsters, and trust each other with fears neither one has spoken aloud. Samil wants to prove he is worthy. Inga wants to believe she is not broken beyond love. Every patient look and careful touch makes the impossible feel closer.
Every danger shows her that Samil's strength is not in taking what he wants, but in giving her the choice to come to him. And when love finally finds them in the desert, Inga learns that healing does not mean forgetting what happened. It means the past no longer gets to own her future. Let Me Love You is a steamy alien dragon romance novella featuring a gentle Zmaj warrior and a healing heroine.
