Paris Warwick, dragon shifter and reclusive artist, prefers being alone. No mates, no kids, and barely any friends. It's all just a distraction from his art. He never goes out to clubs. Ever. Of course, the one night he goes out changes his life. When he sees her. His mate. He knows he can't walk away from the beautiful Corinne, so he vows to only have one night with her. That's it. Then it's back to loneliness, right?

Corinne DuBois is on the run, free for the first time since...ever. It took her years to plan the perfect escape, and only one night to ruin it. The sexy stranger from the club had some pretty fertile mojo because she is definitely pregnant. Too bad he gave her a fake name. Two months later, with little hope, she is comforted by a sympathetic, elegant woman, who gives her a job and a place to stay. Lucky her, for once.

Turns out, her mysterious one-night stand was Johanna Warwick's son. Corinne can't help but fall for her baby daddy when he tells her that they are destined mates. Too bad her past just caught up to her, threatening the new life she was starting to build with Paris.
