When a charming bad-boy dragon sets his sights on a sheltered dragoness, sparks fly—and not just because they're both fire-breathing creatures! Ailean has a reputation for getting what he wants, but Shalin proves to be far more than just another conquest. As he saves her from danger and shows her a world of passion and adventure she never knew existed, both discover that sometimes the most thrilling conquest is finding someone who challenges you in the best ways. This is a swoon-worthy paranormal romance that perfectly blends witty banter, genuine heat, and the irresistible appeal of a reformed bad boy who's finally met his match.
Reading soundtrack
A confident, magnetic pull between opposites—rough edges meeting gentle hearts. Sultry indie-pop and smoldering R&B blend with soaring orchestral moments. Think confident swagger, whispered confessions, and the thrill of being truly *seen*. Moody, sensual, slightly dangerous yet deeply romantic.
