Draconis Discord — Lisa Shea

Nicole was lost. After a thousand long, tortuous years of craving Nathan by her side, he had finally been hers. For one, brief, shimmering moment, they had stood side by side in front of the world.
Then cruel fate - and a bullet's blast through his chest - had brought it all to a crashing end.
Now she must find a way to claw through the darkness - and to carve out a new life.
Draconis Discord is the fourth and final novella in the Collective Saga series. This adventure romance is set in a sci-fi fantasy future, one where countless disparate races coexist in a tenuous truce. Only the strength of the Collective military keeps the peace and guards against invaders. These stories are presented in a gentle manner, with no explicit violence or intimacy.
