He has claimed me as his mate...

The King of Amethysts. Formidable, imposing, noble. Sensual.

I know what he is, what he hides. I know the destruction his kind brings. I fear him and his power. And yet, I burn to know his kiss, to learn what it feels like to be held by him. To give into the irresistible attraction. It is a yearning that consumes me, body and soul.

But there are secrets I must keep hidden so no one else dies. Secrets that even I don't dare delve into. The consequences are too devastating.

He says I intrigue him. I want to be with him, but I know the costs of giving into such a weakness. Nothing frightens him. Not my horrific past—or my uncertain future.

There is only passion and something deeper, something real. Something I never dared to dream might be possible.

In the latest story in the scintillating Dragon King series, Donna Grant, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, unites a sexy, determined Dragon King and an enigmatic woman who holds him enthralled.
