She’s making a new life for herself in a realm full of dragon shifters…

Mia knew about the things that go bump in the night long before the world fell into chaos. As a human artist living in a world full of dragons, she should feel out of place.

If anyone wants to get to her, they’ll have to go through him—and he’s made a living out of destroying his enemies. Whether Mia likes it or not, she’s his to protect and this grumpy dragon will do whatever it takes to prove they’re fated to be together.

To maintain her cover and keep her family off her back, they fake a relationship.

Having spent her whole life trying to prove she’s just as capable as her three older brothers, art retrieval expert Ivy Danger has landed the biggest gig of her career, one that will pay off the mortgage of the animal shelter she owns. That is, if she doesn’t die before finishing the job. Even if she locates the stolen art, the violent gang of thieves won’t give up their million-dollar payday without a fight. She has one person she can turn to for help—Nash Harris. Security expert, her brother’s best friend…and the gorgeous man of her fantasies who treats her like a kid sister. Not that she’d do anything about her attraction anyway—not when it would screw up her family dynamic if things went sideways between them.

Now it’s impossible to tell what’s real and what’s not.

Despite having known Ivy forever, “brotherly” is the last thing Nash feels for the sexy troublemaker. She’s it for him. The One. He’s known it for a while…but convincing Ivy is another matter. When they have to fake a relationship for her current job, things shift between them. They’ve worked together before, but she’s in over her head with this latest job. But before anything can come of it, he’ll have to keep her alive when she’s targeted by a dangerous group known for violent retaliation. Nash will do whatever it takes to keep her safe, to prove she can trust him—on the job, with her life, and with her heart.

Genres: Foreign Editions, German

Wenn ein Todesbringer …

Nach Jahrtausenden erwacht, ist der Drachenkrieger Reaper bereit, sein Schicksal zu erfüllen … bis er Greer sieht. Mit einem Blick wird alles, was Reaper in seinem sehr langen Leben je gekannt hat, unwiderruflich verändert. Greer ist seine Gefährtin, er spürt es in seinem Blut, in seiner Seele – aber sie zu überzeugen, ist eine andere Sache. Der Heiler des Drachenclans findet ihn unausstehlich und nervig, aber er erkennt das Interesse einer Frau, wenn er es riecht. Und Greer riecht wie ein Wort: meins.

… auf einen Lebensspender trifft …

Greer hat Hunderte von Jahren damit verbracht, ihre Heilfähigkeiten zum Wohle anderer einzusetzen, was sie zum genauen Gegenteil von Reaper macht. Der wilde Kriegsgeneral mag ein alter Mann sein, aber seine Arroganz beweist, dass er keine Zeit damit verbracht hat, etwas über Frauen zu lernen. Greer ist unzufrieden, als ihr Alpha sie mit dem unerträglichen Krieger nach New Orleans schickt – dann sieht sie ihn im Einsatz gegen etwas, das droht, die Stadt zu zerreißen. Wild, beschützend, großartig … kameradschaftlich. Vielleicht ziehen sich Gegensätze an, aber wenn sie lange genug leben wollen, um es herauszufinden, müssen sie zuerst die Welt retten, die am Rande der Auslöschung steht.
