A Queen awoken. And the Five Dragon warriors sworn to protect her… When these sexy mysterious strangers show up at my bar and tell me that I’m their destiny, I assume it’s just another corny pickup line.Little do I know that their words hold more truth than I could ever imagine…They call themselves Paragons, dragon-shifting warriors from a land far beyond any I have ever dreamed, and guess what?They think I’m the reincarnation of their Queen.Mhm, sure guys.I highly doubt a college dropout, Bayou waitress like myself, who’s constantly covered in grease and ketchup stains, would be chosen to sit on any throne—besides the one that flushes…I have zero intention of believing a word out of their crazy seductive lips, but as I’m suddenly struck with powers I don’t understand, and visions assail me of my past lives, it’s getting harder to deny their claims.These warriors are pledged for my protection, and my pleasure, and yet I don’t know if I’m ready to leave the life I’ve always known behind.Four of the warriors want to whisk me away to rule their sacred land. The fifth is suspected of murdering me one hundred years ago.And, yet, he is the one I find most irresistible…

    I’m just your average college student who worries about grades and finals. Or at least I thought I was until today, my twenty-first birthday, when my whole life has turned upside down. Growing up, I didn’t know much about my family’s history, but I learned to stop asking a long time ago. Little did I know, Mom chose my birthday to inform me that I was bound to return to my father’s village… of wolf shifters. The price for not going? A curse. Turns out, I am meant to be mated with the pack’s alpha, Asher Shaw. Except, he’s rude, cocky, and about as happy with this arrangement as I am—which means, not at all. But I refuse to be forced into this life I never asked for, just because of my parents’ mistakes. So, I found a way out. A way to break the curse, freeing me to go back to my real life, and him to run his pack as he wishes. Our only path to freedom will force Asher and me to work together and get along—or die trying. Though it might prove difficult, because the only thing I have in common with “my mate” is our desire to outrun our fate to be together. Our futures are on the line, but I’m not giving up without a fight. There is only one problem. The primal draw to each other is something we never expected. Is our determination enough to resist it? Or will the powers that bind us be stronger than either of us can deny?

    But some of us know that to save both our species, humans and shifters must work together…
