She is too young. He is too old. The bond between them does not care. Abigail has spent her entire life waiting for something that felt right. Not a casual night. Not a man chosen by her friends. Someone who makes her heart recognize him before her mind can explain why. She never expected that man to be a scarred alien warrior old enough to know better. Zat'an was once the Second, the most respected warrior beneath the mountain.
One defeat cost him his rank, his purpose, and the place he held among his people. Now younger males mock him, his society treats him as an outcast, and every scar on his body reminds him that his strongest years may be behind him. Then Abigail steps between him and the warriors who would humiliate him. She is small, young, human, and braver than anyone he has ever known. His dragon claims her instantly.
Zat'an refuses. Abigail deserves a younger warrior with a future ahead of him, not a battered veteran with one damaged eye, a broken horn, and too many years of war carved into his body. No matter how fiercely he wants her, she must remain off-limits. Abigail has other ideas. The attraction between them burns hotter with every stolen look, jealous confrontation, and moment Zat'an tries to push her away.
But when he finally gives in, he retreats before claiming her completely, convinced that loving her would be selfish. To make himself worthy, Zat'an ventures alone into the forbidden tunnels beneath the mountain. He finds an ancient enemy preparing for war. Then Abigail and her closest friends disappear. The underground Zmaj believe the Urr-ki are mindless monsters who can only be defeated. Captivity shows Abigail a more complicated truth.
The enemy speaks, thinks, protects its own, and may be searching for the same future both species desperately need. Zat'an does not care about politics when Abigail is in danger. Wounded and outnumbered, he must lead a rescue through lethal tunnels, survive traps and poison, and face the younger warrior determined to take his place. Saving Abigail may restore his honor, but winning her future will require something harder than battle.
He must believe her when she says he is already worthy. Off-Limits Dragon is a steamy forbidden age-gap alien romance featuring a younger virgin heroine, a scarred older warrior, fated mates, he-falls-first obsession, warrior rivalry, redemption, dangerous underground caves, captivity, a desperate rescue mission, found family, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
