Planet Cordania is in dire straits. Seven long years of drought threaten Queen Jana's people. Because of it, she will do the unthinkable. She will sign a contract with Mordovea's King Renae. Twenty-four hours in the arms of a Dragcon ruler, a distasteful task but a small price to pay for her people's survival when no other will come to her aid.

King Renae has finally discovered a way to be in the arms of the woman he's loved from afar. Half man, half dragon, he knows that she and the people of Cordania have scorned his kind forever. They can never be together. But one night will be enough for him. Or will they realize that love does not follow a set course of rules?
