Dragon Lord Jaxson Lane has spent a lonely existence drifting through the human realm with no real purpose. With the Hidden Lands cursed and his clans dying, his friend and ally, Logan, discovers the Drakana's sinister plot to use a blood ritual in the hopes it will heal their ailing world. The key to that blood ritual is Zahra, the eldest noblewoman of the ancient Fire-Drakes and a woman Jaxson once loved now promised to another. Seeing Zahra again rekindles the fire burning within him and one kiss is all it takes to drive her back into his arms, even though he tries to resist her. Now with the Drakana after Zahra as their target, Jaxson will keep her safe by any means necessary.
Lady Zahra Veritor's betrothal to the son of one of the Council of Five leaders is not a happy one. The only man she's ever loved has been absent from her life for years until a chance encounter brings them together once again. When her life is suddenly in danger, Jax is the only man she can turn to for help...and the only man she's ever loved. As he protects her from the men who want her, tempting him back into her arms becomes her mission. But their game of seduction is cut short when she is injured and nearly killed. Now her only chance of survival lies with the only man she can truly trust--her dragon bodyguard.
