At a select academy they study new airship technologies and the dawning Industrial Revolution, but magical forces still rule. And the cousins are about to discover the full ruthlessness of this rule.

    And I’ve one night left to live. At least, I thought I did, until the nobleman turned up. He calls himself Meridas, and he thinks my magic will be of use. Also, he’s a dragon. Because why not? A sky-cursing handsome dragon person, if I’m being honest here. I don’t like the idea of being used, but it’s not like I have a choice. Not unless I want to survive the next day. It helps that he lives in the floating cities, though. I always wanted to get out of the slums. Maybe not quite in this manner… but a girl’s gotta take every opportunity presented, right? It does help that he’s everything a girl looks for in a man. Kind. Attentive. Strong and determined to save his sister, and save me. Things I’m definitely not used to. Things I wouldn’t mind exploring further, if I get the chance… This Box Set Includes: The Dragon's Life Witch The Dragon's Air Witch The Dragon's Storm Witch The Dragon's Ink Witch Author's Note: This is a collection of stand alone steamy romances meant for 18+
