The Dragon's Temptation
Lily Cahill - 2016

She’s even changed her name to cut all ties between herself and the powerful Valdez family, who rules the magical world. All she wants is to run her shop, a place where she can brew up potions and a damn fine cup of coffee. And maybe flirt with the gorgeous guy who keeps coming in to see her. But there’s more to Damien than meets the eye, and Felicity is soon caught up in intrigue that could shatter her simple life forever. Damien Dragomir has been on the run for decades. As the last dragon ruler of the magical world, he has sheltered his brothers from the Valdez family, usurpers who murdered his parents and would do the same to him if they could find him. Damien’s drive in life has been the safety of his family, but that was before he met Felicity. He can’t stop thinking about the beautiful witch who makes the killer coffee. Is the fire he feels for Felicity enough to trump his hatred of the Valdez name? Love is supposed to conquer all, but can it overcome their history?

Each book in the series follows one brother’s mating and subsequent encounters with the increasingly powerful vampire.
Only one will win the right to call her “mate.”

A difficult task when they’re summoned every time a hiker goes missing. Serg knows there’s something different about his latest case the moment he touches her clothing. She’s his mate, and nothing will stop him from finding and claiming her—except maybe the nuisance of a vampire who lured her off the trail. Juliana Polanski isn’t sure how she got so lost, but there’s no mistaking her instant attraction to her rescuer. There’s also no denying the passion that explodes between them when rain drives them into a cave for shelter—or at his home, in his bed, even after the crazy, improbable truth of his heritage comes out. Serg knows the danger isn’t over. At any moment Julianna could be kidnapped right out of his arms—by the only creature the Durham brothers have never been able to track.

But my promise to solve a cold murder pulls me right back in. And this case leads me to a skittish female who triggers every primitive instinct I possess. We click. Instantly. Just like it’s supposed to be between true mates. The only problem? Mya’s already taken. She’s also already a mother. And she’s pregnant again. I missed out on my happily-ever-after and the fated love few shifters ever find. But so did Mya. She didn't choose this life. An abusive man claimed her before I could and forced her into a bond for the babies she can conceive. Not any longer. My true mate has a choice, even if the law says she doesn’t. And if it takes my death to free Mya, so be it. ~ Rick
