She was always meant to be mine…

I find her where no human should be—alone, deep within the caves, standing before my dragon form.

Most would run.

Annita steps closer.

Curiosity shines in her eyes, as if she’s found exactly what she was looking for. When I shift, that look doesn’t fade.

She should run. She doesn’t.

I should leave. I don’t.

The moment I touch her, everything changes. Heat slides through me, sharp and consuming. The world narrows to her breath, her skin, the way she fits against me like she was meant to be there.

I came for something simple.

Now she’s the only thing I want.

But nothing in the world of the Dragon Kings comes without danger. Enemies are closing in, and the closer she gets, the more she becomes a target.

I should walk away.

But I can’t. I won’t.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Donna Grant delivers a sensual, high-stakes tale of danger, desire, and a love powerful enough to bind a Dragon King—and risk everything.

Previously published as part of the Dark Kings series, these stories now begin the Dragon Chronicles. For the richest reading experience, this series should be read alongside the Dark Kings world.
