HEART of THE
DRAGON
The Atlantis tale that started it all... They Just Keep Coming |
為了尋找下落不明的兄弟,葛蕾斯.卡萊兒絲毫未曾想過會發現一個充滿神話怪物的神祕世界,抑或撞見一位外表足以讓世上男性感到羞愧的持劍生物。 然而此刻他就矗立在自己眼前,戴瑞斯.因.克拉金,隸屬諸多變形族之一,負責戍守亞特蘭提斯大門的龍族戰士,對於誤闖邊界的旅人可是一律格殺勿論。 如今葛蕾斯的性命全在他的一念之間;面對亙古的戍衛誓言,以及這位溜進他眼皮底下,卻不禁意地偷走這位亞特蘭提斯最為兇殘戍龍之心的女子,戴瑞斯勢必得於兩者間抉擇。 Searching for her missing brother, Grace Carlyle never dreamed she would discover a secret world populated by mythological monsters—or find herself facing a sword-wielding being whose looks put mortal men to shame. But there he was, Darius en Kragin, one of a race of shape-shifting warriors bound to guard the gates of Atlantis, and kill all travelers who strayed within its borders. Now Grace's life was in his hands, and Darius had to choose between his centuries-old vow and the woman who had slipped beneath his defenses and stolen the heart of Atlantis's fiercest dragon. ------------------------- Excerpt

GRACE CARLYLE ALWAYS hoped she'd die from intense pleasure while having sex with her husband. Well, she wasn't married, and she'd never had sex, but she was still going to die. And not from intense pleasure. From heat exhaustion? Maybe. From hunger? Possibly. From her own stupidity? Absolutely. She was lost and alone in the freaking Amazon jungle. As she strode past tangled green vines and towering trees, beads of sweat trickled down her chest and back. Small shards of light seeped from the leafy canopy above, providing hazy visibility. Barely adequate, but appreciated. The smells of rotting vegetation, old rain and flowers mingled together, forming a conflicting fragrance of sweet and sour. She wrinkled her nose. Traveling the world had always been her dream, and becoming a flight attendant for a private charter had seemed like the perfect job for her. She hadn't realized she would become an airborne waitress, jaunting from hotel to hotel, never actually enjoying the state/country/hellhole she found herself in. Sure, she'd scaled mountains, surfed the ocean waves and jumped from a plane, but the joy of those adventures never remained and like everything else she'd tried, they always left her feeling more unsatisfied than before. That's why she had come here, to try something new. Something with a bit more danger. Her brother was an employee of Argonauts, a mythoarchaeological company that had recently discovered the crude glider constructed by Daedalus of Athens—a discovery that rocked the scientific and mythological communities. Alex spent his days and nights delving deep into the world's myths, proving or disproving them. With such a fulfilling job, he didn't have to worry about becoming a shriveled old prune. Not like me, she lamented. Wiping the sweat from her brow, Grace increased her pace. About a week ago, Alex had shipped her a package containing his journal and a gorgeous necklace with two dangling, intertwined dragon heads. No note of explanation accompanied the gifts. Knowing he was in Brazil and looking for a portal that led into the lost city of Atlantis she'd decided to join him, leaving a message on his cell phone with details of her flight. With a sigh, she fingered the dragon chain hanging at her neck. When Alex failed to pick her up at the airport, she should have returned home. "But nooo," she said with deep self-loathing, suddenly more aware of her dry, cotton mouth. "I hired a local guide and tried to find him. 'Sí, senhorina,'" she mimicked the guide. "'Of course, senhorina. Anything at all, senhorina.'" "Bastard," she muttered... ------------------------- Excerpt
