About this ebook

Once mated, these shifters will do anything to protect the women they love!

The would-be heroine... 

Aeron wants nothing more than to live out her very long, solitary life in a small metal room listening to communications for the Federation Military. It's not glamorous. It's not even charming. But it's safe and there's no chance of getting hurt.


When she intercepts a communication about an impending attack on the Qurilixian people, she has no choice but to act. No one at the Federation seems inclined to do anything and it's up to her to save them. Desperate, she enlists the help of her degenerate sister, whose only solution is to trick Aeron into signing up as a prospective bride to the primitive aliens she's trying to rescue.


The man who did not need saved... 

Dragon-shifter nobleman Lord Bron, is not looking forward to his seventh failed attempt at a marriage ceremony. But when he sees the lovely Aeron he knows his years of waiting have finally paid off. Fate has blessed him with a life mate...


Or have they?


His new bride is insistent she's not there for marriage, but for a mission. Dragon shifters mate for life and it's up to Bron to convince her they are fated to be, or he'll risk spending the rest of his days alone.


Book Five of the Dragon Lords series:This is the original Dragon Lords series by NY Times and USA TODAY Bestselling Author, Michelle M. Pillow.


"Michelle M. Pillow’s Qurilixen World romances are like chocolate for my eyeballs. I fell in love with Aeron and Bron. They’re magical together." - Cynthia Sax, USA Today Bestseller

I really enjoyed this story. I only wanted to read the beginning, but got into it and ended up reading the whole thing in one sitting. Great world building. I enjoyed watching Bron and Aeron try and navigate cultural hurdles as she tried to get her warning across without accepting being a bride, and he tried to honor her, himself, and his family by making the marriage work. A fun read. 4 stars.

Aeron (h) finds out about a threat to Qurilixen & decides to warn them. She follows her sister’s plan & signs up with Galaxy Brides. Bron (H), a dragon shifter lord, senses Aeronas his bride. She only wants to deliver the warning & doesn’t want to be his wife. Aeron & Bron have to work together through challenges to reach their HEA, more like an HFN. I wasn't as invested in this entry in the series - it felt like a filler to introduce a new threat to Qurilixen. I wasn't invested in Aeron & Bron

Michelle Pillow’s His Highness The Duke: A Qurilixen World Novel (Dragon Lords Book 5) is an exciting series. While the story was a good read I was disappointed that the ending seemed rushed and left so many unanswered questions. I’ve always enjoyed the authors writing and perhaps this time the issue is with me and not so much with her. I do look forward to reading more of her stories. Thank you Ms. Pillow for many enjoyable reads.
