A Bookish Nanny for the Dragon King
(2026)(Book 91 in the Possessive Small Town Alpha Kings series)
A novel by Lira Flux and Zola Lore
I didn’t expect my nanny interview to end with a 6 foot 7 dragon king on his knees, freeing my stuck heel until he caught my scent and his eyes burned gold.
And now he’s claiming I’m his fated mate.
I read dragon romances for fun. I never expected to live in one - as the nanny.
Draco Varezys is my employer. A centuries-old king, all hard jaw and rationed smiles, who rules a kingdom but cannot say the word ‘date.’ The chest that purrs when I walk in? He swears that’s ‘digestion.’ The clothes vanishing from my room? We don’t discuss it.
Nobody warned him: I don’t swoon, and I don’t take orders.
So when his dragon decides I’m his - teeth, throat, and all - I set the terms.
‘That’s not the bond,’ he tells me, voice wrecked. ‘That’s me wanting you so badly I can barely stand.’
But he buried his one mate long ago, and dragons only get one. Which means I shouldn’t be possible. No willing human has survived a completed bond in generations.
He keeps trying to make the choice for me.
‘Tell me you don’t want this,’ he says, ‘and I’ll walk away.’
I don’t tell him to go. How can I, when the little girl I was hired to mind already calls me family, and the life he’s offering - his daughter, his kingdom, forever - is suddenly mine to lose?
A thousand years of control, and I’m the one crack in it.
Claiming me could kill me. I’ve decided to let him try…
