Zephyr by Scarlett Grove

To claim his mate, he’ll have to follow his heart

An Imprisoned Dragoness
Maia is the Dragoness Prime and the Duchess of the House of Tides. She has given everything for her people, but they all believe she is dead. Taken captive by her own prince during the cataclysm, Maia has spent all this time locked up on his ship. With one of her fourteen dragonkin to care for, she’s been focused on being her baby’s mom. But when the Prince of Tides tells her she must mate with him or never see her baby again, Maia knows she must act.

A Struggling Scientist
Zephyr knows that human civilization has been irrevocably altered since the vampire kidnappings and murders. Even if the dragons can distribute the vampire vaccine in time, it might already be too late for the human race. While preparing to deliver the vaccine, he is confronted by a woman he never believed he’d meet. The moment Maia walks into the House of Storms looking for protection, Zephyr’s inner dragon is sure she was the one.

An Inconclusive Match
When Zephyr runs the mating analysis, the results are indeterminable. The couple believes in the analysis, so a confirmation of their mating is important to them both. But soon it becomes evident that they will never have scientific proof of what their inner beasts demand is true. Pushed to the brink by the vampires, humans, and his own inner dragon, Zephyr must make a choice between his heart and his head. Can this logical scientist follow his feelings, claim his mate, and save the world? Or will he let his rigid beliefs rob him of everything he’s ever wanted?
