Mate Dance by Amber Kell is the third book in the Dragon Men series.

Raven's always loved to dance and is known as the greatest dancer in the galaxy. Even with all the fame, he feels something is missing. Raven loves his job, but right now, he is just tired and needs a break. Raven leaves the theater after a show and he finds a young girl, Trisha, crying near a dead body. Raven stays with her and when help arrives, Trisha refuses to be separated from him. When asked, Trisha tells them that her father is Prince Kaemon, which they doubt. Raven insists they perform a DNA test, which conclusively proves her claim. Kaemon can't believe he has a child, being that he is gay, and the King is overjoyed with the news. Raven and Trisha arrive at the castle, Kaemon immediately wants to keep him there forever, and his dragon agrees. Raven can't take his eyes off Kaemon and they have a night together to remember. Raven knows he will never forget Kaemon, but he isn't willing to give up his career and freedom, or is he? Will Kaemon find a way to change Raven's mind with Trisha's help?

This is a wonderful story that begins with a bang, never letting up until the very end. Kaemon appears flighty in the way that he deals with Trisha, but I can't imagine how anyone would feel to learn that they had a child they never knew about. The king's joy reminds me of how most people react when learn that they have a grandchild. I love how Raven stood by Trisha, making sure that she felt safe and cared for, even though he had no earlier dealings with children. The instantaneous attraction between Kaemon and Raven was wonderful, but their different way of looking at things intrigued and deepened their feelings. I hope that this isn't the end of their story.
