VIPER (Naga Brides 1)

Long have we been alone. Without brides, without females to warm us during the long nights. Without sweet mates. But we see them, from afar, brides that could be ours. Kept away from us by walls and weapons. Females we long for greatly. Obsessively. Human females. And the one with red hair? I want her. I saw her first. I will fight for the death for her. She is MINE. So, we'll come together and make an exchange with their men that will benefit us all. After that? To the winner goes the spoils... Let the hunt begin. But the red-headed female is mine. --

One day I'm a confidant for our leader, and the next I'm escorted out of the settlement by armed guards. Before me now lies the vast and dangerous wilderness of Earth, ravaged by aliens that long ago vanished. They left their devastation-and their technology-behind. My leader wants that technology. He'll do anything to get it, even trading me to those who have it. Serpent men. Nagas. Half-men, half-snake beast aliens rule these lands- misbegotten monsters warped by something we don't yet understand. They want me. Especially the ruby red demon that stares at me with such an intensity my soul quakes. But I refuse to be any man's broodmare, especially an alien's. If he wants me so badly, he'll have to catch me first. Unfortunately, that was the whole point after all...
