NOTHING BURNS HOTTER . . .
Sophea Long knows that escorting her octogenarian client to Europe will be an adventure. Mrs. P has a habit of stealing anything shiny, and the former "hoochikoo dancer" is a lot faster than she looks. But Sophea hadn't counted on Mrs. P leading her right into the arms of a smoldering, dark-haired stranger who kisses like a dream. If only he'd give up all this nonsense about Sophea being some kind of dragon...
THAN THE FIRE INSIDE
There's a reason Rowan Dakar is known as the Dragon Breaker. The last thing he needs is to fall for a woman who literally sets him aflame every time they kiss. After all, he has a mission-one that will finally free him of dragonkin for good. He can't afford to be distracted by the funniest, most desirable woman he's ever set eyes on. But no prophecy in the world can ever stop true love . . .
“I
wanted to know what it feels like to be a dragon.”
“I told
you—it feels powerful.”
“Yes,
but there has to be more to it than that. When you were around the other
dragons, you were all caveman protective and acting like an adorable but
enraging man. With the monster, you were pure heroic, and not that you weren’t
heroic before, when you helped kick demon butt and all, but that was nothing to
what you did with a sword. I didn’t even know you could use one!”
“I
don’t. Or rather, I didn’t, but managed to learn fast.”
“Right
now, for instance,” I said, nibbling on his ear lobe. “What do you feel?”
He was
silent for a moment, his hands tightening on my hips. “Aroused. Powerful.
Dominant but protective. Do that last thing again.”
I
nipped the underside of his chin. He growled again.
“That
just makes me…it’s difficult to put into words. It’s like what I felt before I
was changed, only magnified by a power of ten.” He closed his eyes for a
moment, his chest moving against my fingers as he drew in deep breaths. “I can
smell the scent of you, wildflowers in a sunny meadow teasing me and raising my
temperature. There’s a fire deep inside me and when you are near, when you
touch me, it courses through my blood, setting me alight with the need to claim
you.”
“Wow,”
I said, marveling at all of that. When he opened his eyes, the gold flecks were
glittering brightly. “That’s really
amazing. I had no idea about any of that. It explains a lot about your behavior
with the other dragons, too.”
He made
a face. “I have a feeling I should apologize for my bad manners, but every time
I think about them, I feel exactly the same sense of antagonism.”
