The Smoke Thief

When a jewel thief known as the Smoke Thief catches the attention of London's elite—and more importantly, the watchful eye of Christoff, the dangerously charismatic Alpha of a secret dragon-shifter tribe—neither expects the criminal mastermind to be a woman, and certainly not the shy outcast he once knew. Rue has spent years loving Kit from a safe distance while proving herself the most powerful drákon female in generations, but now he's got her cornered with a diamond bait and an unshakeable conviction that she's destined to be his bride. What neither of them bargained for is the electric chemistry that ignites between them—a connection that could either bind them together or destroy everything their people have hidden for centuries. Lush with paranormal intrigue, simmering tension, and a heroine who's finally ready to claim her power, this is a sweeping romance about two people discovering that sometimes the greatest risk is falling for the one person you're supposed to resist.
