Intrigued by Eva Weston's dragons? Book 3 of the HEART OF THE DRAGON is on it's way!

Greetings all!

I'm currently working on the third installment in the HEART OF THE DRAGON series, THE DRAGON'S DALLY.  This steamy bit of fantasy romance focuses on the growing relationship between Princess Tania and the Water Dragon.

If you have read the second book, THE DRAGON'S DEN, you will remember that Patryck was a sexual deviant.  He still is.  But this time, Tania wishes to know his carnal cravings even though she has pledged herself to Aristo.  Sleeping with another dragon might just be the end for her...or at least, the end of her relationship with Aristo.  What would he do when he finds out?

Although I only have the first chapter available, I'm able to give you an excerpt!  Enjoy!


“How many times have you been chained?” Patryck asked Tania as he held her hand in her father’s dark, dank dungeon. 

Tania shrugged off the question.  She wasn’t particularly fond of discussing her father’s abuse to anyone.  If she hadn’t still carried the scars of several harsh beatings, no one would ever suspect.  She swallowed and replied, “Now is not the time, Patryck.  We have to get out of here before the guards return,” she licked her lips and eyed the dungeon.  The foul stench of molding straw and human waste filled her nostrils.  She almost gagged.  She should have been accustomed to the odor because she had been thrown in her father’s dungeon on numerous occasions.  She gritted her teeth, “We have to find Aristo.”

She was more determined than ever before to rescue her love.  She had stood up to her father, King Polas, a mere few moments ago and she was riding the adrenaline rush.  Had she paused to deliberate on her past actions, she would have been amazed that she had found the courage to oppose him.  Little good it did her, though.  She and Patryck were now in the dungeon—lost and filthy.

Tania glanced at Patryck who waited for her command.  He was a very young dragon.  His wings hadn’t fully developed but his sense of procreation had.  Tania wondered if he would be any help here at all.  His mind was constantly focused on carnal desires.

Patryck brushed back his very blonde hair that mimicked wave crests as his hand morphed into water.  As the last Water Dragon, Patryck could easily shift into the liquid without needing a special source in order to do so.  Aristo, on the other hand, could only shift when the moon was shining and Stephen could only shift when the sun shone.  Tania needed to know why that was. 

First things first—she needed to rescue Aristo.  She had done so before.  He had called to her and she had found the love of her life.  But no matter how much she strained, she could not hear him. 
Tania squeezed her eyes shut and felt around the dark with her senses.  Perhaps if all other senses were quiet, she could find her way to Aristo.  After a few moments, she stomped her foot and gave up.  Aristo was silent.

“Where do we go?” Patryck asked.

Tania ignored him.  She did not have an answer for him.  She had assumed Aristo would be in the dungeon like before but perhaps she was wrong. 

“We need to look through every cell,” she finally replied. 

Patryck’s eyebrow jutted into his forehead, “How many cells are there?”

Tania shook her head, “Several.”

“We better get started.”

Eva Weston's Dragons are cooking up some heat: Today's Recipe: Fresh Strawberry Pie

Howdy fellow dragon lovers!  I hope you had a great Valentine's Day!  I know Princess Tania from THE HEART OF THE DRAGON did!

Stephan, the Sun Dragon, has been trying to woo Tania for weeks now but he hasn't made any progress.  He hoped this recipe would get her attention!  What do you think?  Are strawberries the way to win your heart?

Stephan is a vegetarian and he knows his way around fruit and vegetables--he especially knows his way around feminine fruit...

Stephan's Fresh 3-Layer Strawberry Pie 

Difficulty:  Easy
Prep Time:  30 minutes.  10 minutes if a Dragon slices the strawberries.
Cook Time:  2-3 hours sitting in the refrigerator.

Ingredients:
Bottom Layer:
2 Cups Sliced Fresh Strawberries
Because he is a man, Stephan took a shortcut and purchased a pre-made pie shell.  You can, too :-)

For bottom layer, bake the pie shell for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.  Remove from oven and place strawberries in the pie shell.

Middle Layer:
2 Cups Mashed Strawberries
1 Cup Sugar
3 Tablespoons Cornstarch

For middle layer, combine mashed strawberries, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan.  Bring to boil.  Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thick.  Cool for 15 minutes and pour over bottom layer.

Top Layer:
2 Cups Halved Strawberries (Halved for aesthetics)
1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
2 Tablespoons Sugar
1/4 Teaspon Almond Extract

For top layer, arrange strawberries on top of pie.  Refrigerate for 2-3 hours.  Just before serving, whip cream with sugar and almond extract until stiff peaks form.  Spread over pie.

Yield: 6-8 Servings.  Or One serving if properly coated on the body. ;-D

Princess Tania had a great night after eating that pie and using the whipped cream.  Mmm.

Enjoy!

Eva Weston's dragons will light your fire this Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day!

My sexually ferocious dragons are eager and willing to put your loins in a blaze!  THE DRAGON'S DEN, the sequel to the Bestselling short story, THE DRAGON'S DESIRE is now available for the Kindle and Nook!


The dragons will stop at nothing to claim her...

Aristo worships the ground Tania walks but he is not the only one.  Stephan, the Sun Dragon yearns to have her as his own.  The only thing stopping him is his brother, Aristo.  Stephan does not wish to upset his brother, but he cannot deny his attraction for Tania.  Neither can the other dragons, Patryck and Narcil.  

Narcil hides his temptation well but Patyck, the youngest dragon, cannot control his carnal cravings.  The dragons desire Tania because she is the one woman who can carry on their legacy and she is the one woman who can inspire a love unlike any other.

The war with the dragons is far from over and Tania's father, King Polas, will stop at nothing to see them all destroyed.  He believes the dragons have kidnapped his daughter and "no one touches what belongs to him".  His hatred of dragons had always been palpable, but with the loss of his daughter, the hatred had become something of an entity.  He has enlisted his son, Brynt, to fetch his daughter and slaughter the last remaining dragons.  

Excerpt:

Stephan kissed the top of her head, “I was worried.  You weren’t breathing…” He continued to pelt her head with kisses until his lips finally found hers.  He didn’t stop for air.  He kissed her as if his very life depended on it.  She did not return the kiss.  Instead, her mouth was frozen in shock.

“Kiss me,” he whispered as he continued to lick her lips, “Please kiss me.” Begging was not his strong suit but he would do anything for just one embrace.  His large hands held her head firmly in place.  He gazed into her eyes, “Kiss me, Tania.  Tell me you want me.  Tell me you need me.  Tell me you’ll be mine.”

Still, she did not reply.

The magic that made her a Dragon Mother commanded him to love her.  He could not deny her appeal.  He had to have her. 

Stephan practically growled a response, “I need you.  I’m in agony without you.  Please, Tania, please just this once…”

He continued to gaze into her eyes, pleading for love that he thought he would never have.  Tania was his one chance to be a pleased man…to be loved.  She was the Dragon Mother and so she would always have his heart.  Why couldn’t she see that?  Why wasn’t she answering him?

His heart cried out for her each time he laid eyes on her.   His soul screamed for her touch, begged for her to be the mother of his children.  She was everything he needed.

“Tania,” he brushed the strands of her dark brown hair from her face, “Please kiss me.  Give me a sign, at least, that one day you will look upon me the way you gaze upon Aristo.  Tell me I have a chance to be happy.  Tell me I have a chance to have a family once again.”



I hope you have as much fun reading as I did writing!  Enjoy and have a very happy Valentine's Day!
