About DRAGON LOST:
Destinies
can’t be ignored. No one knows that better than Annita. For as long as
she can remember, it's been foretold she would find a dragon. A
real-life dragon. She’s beginning to think it was all some kind of
mistake until she’s swimming in one of the many caves around the island
and discovers none other than a dragon. There is no fear as she
approaches, utterly transfixed at the sight of the creature. Then he
shifts into the shape of a thoroughly gorgeous man who spears her with
bright blue eyes. In that instant, she knows her destiny has arrived.
And the dragon holds the key to everything.
All
Royden wanted was to find an item his brother buried when they were
children. It was supposed to be a quick and simple trip, but he
should’ve known nothing would be easy with enemies like the Dragon Kings
have. Royden has no choice but to trust the beguiling woman who tempts
him like no other. And in doing so, they unleash a love so strong, so
pure that nothing can hold it back.
**Every
1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s
an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in
the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Excerpt
“Who are you?” she repeated, this time with authority in her voice.
Royden didn’t want to like her, but he did. It took serious courage to stand up to
a stranger in a cave, much less one who had used magic. He’d probably have to get Guy to come and wipe the mortal’s memory of him. So much for no one at Dreagan knowing he was gone.
Shite. This wasn’t turning out as he’d hoped.
He threw her question back at her. “Who are you?”
“Annita Dragoumis. This is my family’s land, and you’re trespassing.”
There was something about her bossy tone that went straight to his
cock. Which was the last thing he needed. “I willna be long. I just need a few hours.”
“For what?”
He sighed, doing his best to keep his patience. “I’m looking for something.”
“Sure you are. The fact remains
that you aren’t supposed to be here.”
Royden was finished playing games. He knew he was in for a world of
problems now that a mortal hadn’t just seen him in dragon form but had also seen him shift. He needed
to turn the tables on her and quickly.
“You’re in a dark cave with a man you doona
know, and you’re issuing demands?”
Her eyes narrowed. “You aren’t Greek.”
“No’ in the least,” he stated.
For a heartbeat, she stared at him as if trying to figure out his
accent. “Welsh?”
“Now that stings, lass.” Though he was impressed that she knew English.
“Scottish,” she said with a smile. “You’re from Scotland.”
Royden bowed his head. “Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, it’s time for you to leave and forget you’ve seen me.”
Annita shook her head of dark brown hair. “I can’t do that.”
She wasn’t afraid to speak her mind or stand up to an unknown man in a cave, and
she could speak fluent English. Who was this woman?
BOOK TRAILER
REVIEW QUOTES FOR DONNA'S NOVELS:
“The central romance, fueled by a hostage drama, plays out in glorious detail against a backdrop of multiple ongoing issues in the “Dark Kings” books. This seemingly penultimate installment creates a nice segue to a climactic end.”
~Library Journal – for BLAZE
“…intense romance amid the growing war between the Dragons and the Dark Fae is scorching hot.”
~Booklist for BLAZE

~BookPage for FIRESTORM
“…will leave fans eager for the next volume in the series.”
~Publisher’s Weekly for FIRE RISING
What I thought about Dragon Lost
Annita was told she would meet a dragon someday, and when swimming in the caves along the family beach, she comes across a man swimming -- or was he a big beige dragon first? As much as Royden wants to make her believe she was only dreaming, Annita knows what she saw and what her grandmother told her was foreseen for her.
Once Royden finds Annita he feels compelled to stay with her, even though Con, the King of the Dragon Kings (when do we get his story!) is concerned about him and wants to know when he's coming back. So Royden stays and gets to know Annita, breaking the rules to tell her the history of the dragon kings before leaving. He's given her a week to decide if she wants him as a mate, which does come with some conditions and some sacrifices.
I got involved with this series reading an earlier novella from Donna Grant in this 1001 Dark Nights series. It's a great way to get a taste of a series, and see if you might light an author's storytelling. I found this Dragon Kings series and I was hooked on this world of Dragon Kings with the Scottish accents! They are lots of fun and very romantic, so if that's your jam, you might like this series.
An ARC was provided by the publisher. This is my honest review.
