Except suddenly dragons are everywhere. Rivals are spoiling for fights of their own; each determined to bring honor to their clan. And James is caught in the middle, witness to a scene not meant for mortal eyes. Too fearless to turn away from me even now that he knows what I am. Only then do I realize, he might be everything I’ve spent years searching for, in more ways than one. JAMES Stop me if you’ve heard this before. The new guy at work is tall, sexy, oozing with menace and mystery. He’s also a total jerk. Who happens to change into a dragon. Yeah, that last part threw me too. As did everything that came after.

Asking painful questions about my past, only to have more answers than I do. Answers I’ve spent my whole life searching for. The very way he’s looking at me now, with a desperate intensity like hunger, want, need. All rolled into an insatiable desire to consume and possess.
