The Neighbors Might Talk

There's a dragon in the garden. Trudy and Rikard have their quiet retirement all planned out—a plan which doesn't include the gorgeous naked dragon shifter who crash-lands in their garden...or the temptation he brings to their happy relationship. Danyen didn't mean to be trouble to the kind-hearted couple who rescued him from the destruction of their peas, but his alien species has very specific needs that only bound mates can satisfy. He only intends to stay long enough to recover, but he finds himself unexpectedly tangled in affection and attraction. Is three always a crowd, or will they give the neighbors something to gossip about? A short, spicy ménage romance served with tea, The Neighbors Might Talk was originally published in Two Mates for the Dragon charity anthology. It has had very minor edits and additions from that version. * * * Birch Hearts is a collection of short stories and novellas by Elva Birch, full of romance, adventure, and magic.
