    About this ebook

    Erak had found his mate and he’d rejoiced. That was until she’d turned from him and rejected him completely. His plan was to pursue her relentlessly, but his position as king had interfered. Finally things were settling down and he was able to do as he wished. His mate didn’t stand a chance.
    Tomi had felt disappointed over and over. First she’d been misled and taken off planet to a strange world. Then Erak turned out to be a king, something he’d kept from her. Finally, he’d been discouraged so easily. Now he was back and he thought she’d fall into his arm? Ha, so wasn’t happening.
    Easy? Maybe not, but could two stubborn people fated to be together really mess things up completely? Hopefully not.

    Crystal Dawn

    When she’s not out hunting rogue vampires and werewolves, you can find Crystal Dawn out exploring the galaxy. She can do it all without ever leaving her computer. She kicks ass, takes names, and puts it all down for the enjoyment of her readers. At least that’s what I think she told me. Writing came as a natural outlet for her overly creative mind. She has always told stories and even written some but publishing books didn't start until 2012 with The Rebirth, was the first of the Planet Amazon books. Crystal has also been lucky to have some wonderful beta readers who keep her on track and help inspire her.Secretly, she crushes on all her sexy heroes because all her stories end happily. That is one of the things that makes writing such a joy. Knowing that it makes her reader's day a little brighter. Not that she doesn't read sad books sometimes. While still in school, she read Where the Red Fern Grows and cried like a baby. It was a wonderful book and sometimes a bit of sadness has to be put in books because that's part of life. While she reads all kinds of books at some time or another, PNR and SFR, which she writes is what she reads the most for pleasure.When she started writing, she decided on going Indie after the first two books because an author has more control. She believes Indie will compete well and continues to grow. The need to give pleasure to her readers keeps her going and she sees a long career ahead. Growing up mostly in the NW Arkansas area, it has given her a good place to set some stories and many of her characters come from there or nearby SW Missouri.The start of her stories is the easy part. Finishing them is a little harder when all the stories are in there trying to get out. She loves reading, chocolate, fine sweet wine, and traveling among a large list of pursuits. Her favorite people, after her family and close friends, are her readers who she says are some of the most wonderful people in this galaxy and the next.

Their eyes turn to Earth. Jarel is sent with five other males to find mates and test the compatibility of Earth females. Their results will determine if their Empire looks to Earth or elsewhere.

      She’d had enough and she’d finally hit her limit. Her bag was packed, and it held more than she’d ever had. The hut she’d lived in before was still hers to use and her pride wouldn’t allow her to stay here where she wasn’t truly wanted. All her life she’d dreamed of her fated mate only to find he was more flawed than she was. As she walked out of this life and back to her old one, she refused to look back. From now on it was all about the future.

Finally, he’d been discouraged so easily. Now he was back, and he thought she’d fall into his arm? Ha so wasn’t happening.

      Easy? Maybe not, but could two stubborn people fated to be together really mess things up completely? Hopefully not.

      Prologue

      He wasn’t sure what to do with his wonderful but stubborn mate. Since she’d taken over the kitchen at the castle, they saw each other every day yet she still kept her distance emotionally. She was on his arm for castle events which her business catered, but she rarely went anywhere with him. Nothing seemed to help and no one’s advice worked.

      Her other sisters and even her mother had settled with dragons, and they were happy. Why not Tomi? It was like she was afraid of him or didn’t want to be happy. He ached to love her physically and the few kisses she’d given him had left him wanting more. All he could do was try to convince her to be his. His need for her grew every day. Soon his heart would burst with his desire for only her.

      Chapter 1

      Business as Usual

      It was just another day. She’d hired several females from the villages and quickly sorted out who would work and who wanted a job where they could meet a lord or high-level military man to mate. A couple of them had been nasty when she’d fired them, but she could handle dirty words and threats. She was tough enough to handle more than that if it was tossed her way.

      Erak would be mad if he found out what had happened and that she’d not informed him. Even though his interest was part time, she couldn’t deny what she felt for him. It was painful to care for someone who seemed to care so little for her.

      Did she have a bad attitude? Some seemed to think so, but she didn’t believe it was true. All she wanted was to be treated like she was important. Honesty and respect, those were what she wanted, and she couldn’t seem to get them no matter what she did. First, he lied to her, then he ignored her except when it suited him to have her company.

      Men seemed to be the same wherever you went. Selfish, self-serving, and they took more than they gave. She’d just stay alone. At least her mother and sisters had found males that treated them right. They must have gotten all the good ones.

      Tomi? Someone should do the baking that Dala was supposed to do. Sonja mentioned.

      Thank you for reminding me. I’ll get right on that. She didn’t mind. Baking calmed her and soothed her frayed emotions. As she gathered her ingredients, she began to hum softly.

      Her mind was on her work, and she was getting things done. Tomi? A familiar male voice said.

      What? I’m a tad busy right now.

      When were you going to tell me, you were threatened? Erak asked.

      It was nothing. People get angry when they get fired. She replied.

      I take these things seriously. What if they come back and try to cause trouble?

      I’ll deal with them then.

      You need to let me help you. Some of these people mean what they say when they threaten you. He informed. Won’t you stop what you’re doing and talk to me?

      I’m two people short. Someone has to do the work.

      I want to spend some time with you. Can’t you take a break?

      When you are busy, I need to understand. When I’m busy, you have no understanding. That’s just not going to work for me. She continued to work, and he stomped away.

      She just didn’t see their relationship going anywhere. They’d kissed and it had been amazing, but they’d not gone past that point. It might never happen, that they did more than kiss. Her body ached for him, but her mind said no. Her relationships back on Earth had left a lot to be desired and she’d rather be alone than have a less than stellar relationship. Ha, she’d accidently made a joke.

      The problem was her future happiness was no joke. Erak finally left when he realized she wasn’t going to drop everything to talk to him. Good! Males needed to be trained right. It didn’t matter if he was a king or a poor male. Being a poor male would actually be less complicated. Why did she hold him being a king against him? She didn’t even know herself. Maybe it was just the fact he’d hidden it from her. The problem was, she felt more for that male then she’d ever felt for another. No matter what she did, she was falling hard.

      Putting the bread in the giant oven to bake, she looked up and smiled. Lushia! I am so glad to see you. I didn’t think you were coming in today.

      I’ll be honest with you; I couldn’t stand to work with Dala. If you’ll look at the schedule, you’ll see I was working the days she was not. Lushia admitted.

      If this happens again, you tell me. No one told me how mean and nasty that female was. I finally fired her because she was lazy. She spent all her time talking up the males. She observed.

      She threatened everyone here at some time or other. Lushia declared.

      Including me when I fired her. She giggled. Someone told Erak, and he wasn’t happy.

      That female is dangerous if she’s willing to threaten you. Be careful. Lushia suggested. What do you need me to do?

      This is the list of food that needs done. Take your pick and mark it off the list once you start it. I’ve got all the bread in the oven.

      You’re amazing. I’ve never seen anyone work as hard or as fast as you do. Lushia admitted.

      I’m slow compared to my mom. Sometime I hope to get her in here to show us all how it’s done.

      I doubt her mate will let her do that. These dragon males are extremely possessive. Lushia noted.

      My mom doesn’t put up with that kind of behavior. They almost split up over it. The reason she can’t come in is she has a business she runs too. She just can’t find the time. That’s something I understand. So, what hours can you work now that the big bully is gone?

      Bully? Lushia asked.

      Someone who pushes others around and uses their position or some other method usually size or strength to make others feel bad. It’s a hard term to explain, but it’s a bad person who is cruel to others.

      Some words don’t translate exactly. But what you just said fits Dala perfectly. I can work full time; I actually need to because my Reddik got laid off. Lushia admitted.

      What does he do? She asked.

      "He worked on a farm, but they got a new worker who needs
