Dragon shifter Dominick Carunno couldn't take his eyes off her from the moment he set foot in Top Scale Academy. She was completely perfect, and completely off-limits. But lightning can strike anywhere, and when passion overrules common sense, things begin to spiral out of control. That was three months ago, and she hasn't spoken to him since. Now he finds himself in jeopardy of being expelled.

Rhynne Nova, instructor at Top Scale, is in a bind. Her parents have decided it's time for her to marry, and have produced the perfect suitor. Unfortunately, not only is he not the dragon she secretly longs for, but he's a pompous jerk who won't take no for an answer. Caught between love and duty, Rhynne isn't sure which way to turn. A sudden onset of morning sickness doesn't make it any easier.

Can she bring herself to tell Dominick and her parents the truth, or will her fear of change prevent the two fated mates from coming together for good?
