A widowed dragon father. A witch in exile. Four matchmaking sons. One missing sister . . . Sometimes the best love stories start with the worst first impressions.

Cosimo Greatdrakes has lived in emotional solitude since his wife's death, burying his grief and dragon beneath duty to his sons. When his missing sister's trail leads him to Florence, he encounters the one beautiful witch who will challenge everything he believes—his academic rival, who has been frustrating his research for over a year.

Marcella Sforza has spent a decade hiding her powerful magic after escaping an abusive marriage. Helping Cosimo find his sister means facing the people who stole her birthright, but he offers the one thing she can't refuse: her family's lost grimoire.

With four meddling sons determined to play matchmaker and an inner dragon that believes it has found another mate, Cosimo and Marcella discover that some forces—love, family, and ancient magic—refuse to be denied.
