Alex, ship's captain, and historical artifact acquisitions expert enlists the help of her crew to go on an unsanctioned mission to steal a fabled dragon egg-an artifact worth a fortune. All they need to do is fly to Xagrar, a planet infested with beastly reptiles. But Alex finds much more than the egg in the dragons' treasure vault. She sets her sight on a beautiful ring-the perfect Christmas gift for her mother. Caught red-handed, Alex must face the wrath of the sexiest hunk she has ever laid eyes on, but she sure as hell does not want anything to do with the bossy beast, nor their gods' crazy prophecy. All she wants is to get rid of the infernal ring and return home to Shalanka… Before the holidays are over.
