A Pet for the Dragons
❝Three dragons and their naughty little pet.❞ There's a rule in piracy - never fuck with the Dragons because they burn you alive. Literally. I'm not a fan of following rules, especially when the Dragons' hoarding obsession makes them the wealthiest patrons. I shouldn't be surprised when I'm kidnapped by the dragons upon failing to fulfil my end of an important deal. As if my luck couldn't be more of a bitch to me, I get kidnapped by none other than the three Dragons from one of the most powerful clans in the Arctic- Radrox, Ivret and Zorge. Now that they have me, I must pay for my failed deal in cash or kind. But that's not what they seem to be interested in, especially with the dwindling population of dragon ladies and their dangerous obsession with me. Those three dragons are definitely going to burn me but with a different kind of fire. ~ It can be read as a stand-alone book. Themes: slow burn, some BDSM, smut (loads of it), dirty talking, knotting, breeding, reverse harem, romance, kink exploration, action, world-building and a purely character-driven plot with wholesome and humorous moments :) What's not in the book? - Grape. Even though there's a power imbalance between the FL and the MLs, whatever happens between them and her involves consent. No cheating.

Alongside her is Mateo, the son of her captor-turned-adoptive father, and Pedro, a mischievous Visayan boy who sees her as an older sister. Among their ranks is Tetsuya, a masterless samurai who has found a new purpose as a warrior and seafarer. Together, they serve under Captain Ronquillo, a shrewd Spanish trader forging new alliances. But in the heart of Guangzhou, they encounter Cao Liang, a young noble descended from the legendary warlord Cao Cao. A man of ambition and refinement, Cao Liang sees opportunity in the foreigners, striking a lucrative trade deal with Ronquillo while taking an interest in Isabel. As the banquet flows with wine and laughter, subtle tensions rise beneath the surface. Isabel is drawn into the grandeur of Chinese nobility, unaware that she is becoming a figure of fascination for a man who rarely meets an equal. With Spanish muskets soon to arm the Ming, and trade routes binding two powerful civilizations, the tides of fate are shifting. Isabel, caught between worlds, must navigate a future where alliances can turn to rivalries, and admiration can lead to something far more dangerous. In an era where silk and steel define power, destiny is not written in ink-it is carved by the hands of those who dare to seize it. Fair warning: Made with the help of ChatGPT but the idea and concept is entirely mine.
