Synopsis (Goodreads):

The Alien Adoption Agency is going to make all of Luna’s dreams come true.

At least, that’s what Luna believes when she boards a rickety space craft headed for a frontier moon to meet the child she will raise in exchange for 100 acres of land and a modest stipend. But she doesn’t count on the dangerous animals, the short but lonely nights, or the big blue warrior who informs her he is on permanent security duty for the baby.

Noxx is a proud dragon warrior of the Invicta, dedicated to use his strength, strategy and endurance to protect his homeland. When his commander assigns him guard duty for a baby, he resents the interruption of his career. It’s bad enough that he’s starting to bond with the little whelp, but the instant he sees the child’s adoptive mother, he knows she is his fated mate. Noxx will have to deny his desperate craving for the dark-haired beauty if he wants to hold on to his chance at redemption.

When a last-minute trek through the forest of Clotho gets them entangled in a dangerous battle, Luna will have to learn to trust the hunky blue warrior. But can the dragon let go of his duty long enough to let himself love someone, and be loved in return?

Thoughts on Noxx: A human woman looking for a fresh start and a grumpy warrior who isn't all that thrilled with the glorified babysitting he's been tasked with. Noxx does his level best to pretend he's not intrigued by Luna and that the baby he's been caring for means nothing to him. Luna on the other hand, doesn't know what to make of the grumpy Noxx. He's scowly and standoffish, but he seems to have a soft spot for her new baby and he's nice to cuddle up against at night.

And there are moments when they fit perfectly together.

A little danger, a found family, a dragon who knows what he wants when he sees her, a man who fights it, and a baby who needs his new family. Good stuff.
