Mate Challenge

By the King's Command...

When the high council orders a mate challenge in his name, King Criostoir is furious. There is only one dragon he wants as his mate. But in order to have the man he's loved for years, he'll need to enter his own mate challenge as one of the contestants. Trust doesn't come easy for Kurgan. Only one man has ever held his loyalty. When a mate challenge is ordered, Kurgan is enraged until he arrives and discovers one of the contestants is the man he has had an on-again, off-again affair with, and then he is enraged. If he beats his lover then he becomes the king's consort. If he loses, he loses the man he loves. When an attack comes and the mate challenge canceled, the truth King Criostoir has kept from Kurgan for over twenty years is revealed. Despite the betrayal burning in Kurgan's eyes, King Criostoir must depend on the dragon to help him save his kingdom and hope Kurgan will listen to him if they survive.
