I was her prisoner...she was my enemy. Now I'd burn kingdoms to keep her.
Valen
I've been chained like a beast for a year.
Collared. Muzzled. Left to rot in a dungeon beneath the palace of my enemy.
But when his sister, a curvy little princess, offers me freedom in exchange for a favor, I listen.
She needs a dragon to fly her across the Poison Desert to save her dying mother.
And I need her blood to Shift.
But not just any bite will do.
I have to sink my fangs into her inner thigh-right next to her untouched, forbidden heat.
And when I do... she moans.
She tastes like magic...feels like destiny...and smells like MINE.
Now we're bound together on a dangerous quest full of cursed forests, wicked witches, and ancient trials that force us closer with every step.
She was supposed to be a means to an end...
But now I'd burn down kingdoms to keep her.
Irena
They said the beast in the dungeon was dangerous.
They were right.
But I'm desperate-and the only way to save my mother is to make a deal with the terrifying man in chains.
He's not just a man-he's a Drake Shifter with claws, fangs, and eyes that glow like embers in the dark.
He says he can fly me across the desert...
But first, he demands my blood-and not from anywhere innocent.
He bites me on my thigh, and the pleasure is like fire licking across my skin.
Now I can feel him inside me... even when he's not touching me.
I thought I was just using the beast to save my family.
But the longer we travel, the more I realize-he's not the monster in this story.
And I'm not sure I want to be saved.
