When you tempt a dragon, be prepared for the fire...

Zoologist Chloe Stevens is certain she's on a wild-goose chase. There are worse things than being forced to travel to a remote South Pacific island, but to search for a dragon? She's sure the real reason she's been sent to find a creature that doesn't exist is that her boss—and ex-lover—wants her out of the way while he properly initiates a new team member.

Whatever. Might as well relax and enjoy her all-expense-paid "assignment", aka vacation on Ryuu Mountain. The secluded resort is the perfect place to indulge in a little carefree, hedonistic sex. Especially with Jared, the drop-dead-gorgeous bartender.

Their hot fling quickly melts into something deeper. When Jared reveals he is more than he seems, Chloe has a decision to make. Whether to take her discovery public and make her mark in the scientific world. Or keep his secret to herself—and surrender body and soul to the only man who sets the woman in her on fire.
