Viper is good at two things—protecting his people and keeping to himself. As an enforcer for the West Fire Dragons, his job is to hunt down rogue dragon shifters that pose a risk to the Drakonians living on Earth. He's not scared of many things in this world, but the tiny blond-haired librarian of Dragoon, Arizona, is the most frightening creature he has ever encountered. His inner dragon wants to claim her, but would she be able to fully accept him? Danger brings them together and both must face their attraction for one another. Will they be able to see through the walls each has put up, or will they let fear keep them apart?
