Rowan Porter - 2018

The passion that flares in him when he’s spoiling for a fight. It’s been so long since I’ve been near fellow dragons; I try and evoke their semblance anywhere I can. 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. One minute I’m following my obnoxious coworker to give him a piece of my mind. The next? Dragons. Fighting. Us? Running. Him? 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. And the more I feel the heat of his gaze upon me, the more there’s only one thing I want, one thing that matters. And it’s not answers. My Dragon Prince is a standalone M/M Dragon Shifter romance featuring two sexy men who can’t help but be attracted to one another. 18+ only please.
