Dane by Ashley L. Hunt

The Elderhood is in my veins, but she’s the one that has my heart
She is the one I want!
I am new to the Elder throne, but I am no amateur. With my brother as my predecessor and our father as his, leading my people is all I know.
And, right now, I must lead them in war.
She is the new Ambassador to Alien Relations. It is her job to work with me and come to a peaceful agreement of coexistence.
Unfortunately, we cannot seem to agree on anything.
She is hard-headed and obstinate, not at all the submissive human I’d expect her to be. Her wit is sharp, her tongue is sharper, and resolve is rigid. This is not a woman to be manipulated.
I love it.
I love her.
When we learn of new deceptions, however, she will learn just how dominant and commanding an A’li-uud I am, and she will have to decide where her loyalties lie.
I, too, have a choice: head or heart?
