a Paranormal Romance
Where there’s smoke, there’s dragon
fire.
Ordinary
girl. Extraordinary fate.
Violet Winters is having a less
than perfect day. Her parents are meddling with her love life (again), her
wintery magic is kaput and her vivid dreams are coming far too close to
reality. When she falls through the ice after seeing her fiancé all close and
snuggly with a fellow polar bear, all bets are off. Is she better off dead or
will she get another chance at life when a Grimare angel rescues her from her
chosen fate?
Fire
meets ice and passions ignite.
Dante is a dragon on a mission:
fight the string of strange fires springing up around Westmore and find a mate.
When his Captain decides to have the men pose for social media shots to garner
attention for the station, Dante finds himself in the middle of a steady stream
of women after his special strategically placed “fire hose.”
At Hot Whips Café to haggle with
the owner for counter space for their new firemen calendar, he meets a woman
who sets his inner scales on fire. Can he save her from the machinations of the
Fates or will she die a second time by the very threat Dante fights against?
A dragon’s panty melting kiss may
just be the wow this curvy girl needs.
Review by pearls
He's a dragon shifter and a firefighter, and he's got a really big hose! This is a great afternoon read. Violet's winter magic may be just the right to create some fire and ice nights. But first they have to fight an arsonist and the Fates who want her dead. But first she must learn to accept her own self worth. With a "guardian" angel and her mate behind her, Violet learns to find her inner power, but is it in time to save her life? and did I mention the smokin' hot dragon?
Excerpt:
“Come on, Dante,
show us a little leg.” The smirking photographer circled in front of him and it
was all Dante could do to control the dragon scraping beneath his skin to avoid
reaching out and shoving the camera up his ass.
Pictures for
social media. The Captain had officially lost his fucking mind. The catcalls
and male laughter from the rest of the guys made him lose his footing and the
fire hose he’d been using as a prop to conceal his nakedness began to slip.
“Jesus. Fix that
hose. This isn’t internet porn, you know.” The Captain groused, scowling.
Dante scrambled to
catch the hose and cover himself and balanced against the newly washed and
waxed fire engine, trying to pretend he was anywhere else but standing like a
prize bull at an auction.
“If you’ll hold
still, please. The others have already contributed their shots. You’re the last
one.” The cameraman huffed, turning the lens. He lowered the camera and glared
at Dante. “You could smile maybe?”
Shit. He was
distracted by the wacked out dream he’d had the night before. A woman he’d
never met swam in front of him, dying. Her long black hair fanned out in the
cold, dark water and he’d panicked. He’d told her to live.
“Fine.” Dante
growled, a wisp of smoke curling out from behind his lips. He felt the change
sliding beneath his skin, the dragon agitated by his distress.
“God, Dante. Come
on.” Carter laughed. “You aren’t afraid of a little flashing light, are you?”
The rest of the crew laughed, sharing in the good natured ribbing.
“Bastard.”
He just wanted it
to be over. His beast wanted to fly and hunt and if he didn’t get out of here
soon, he was going to lose his mind. Most of the men here were either dating or
married. He wasn’t and the urge to mate
had made his already bad temper even worse.
The Captain had
lured him and the others in with the promise of a social media boost to help
the department. He figured a couple of pictures for Instagram like that vet
that had so many followers it was insane. Model pretty with a gaggle of women
trailing behind him like no tomorrow. The guy had even been on national
television recently. Cap was dreaming, but he also knew the man would do
anything to save their department from going strictly volunteer.
So many in the
country had gone that route and the bear shifter was fighting it tooth and
claw. Dante supported that. He’d moved from his home in the mountains to come
here after his buddy Carter had told him about the job. Happy and with a large
family of cat and dragon shifter young, his friend would do anything to ensure
things stayed status quo. So would he, and apparently that included standing
naked in front of a freshly polished firetruck.
Thank God his
mother couldn’t see him or he’d never hear the end of it. She’d been writing
him emails nonstop asking if he’d met any promising women. Jesus. He’d never
seen a woman more eager to fuss over grandchildren. But he hadn’t and the
prospects didn’t look very favorable. Not that he hadn’t dated. He had. But no
female he’d met even sparked his interest past the typical curves and tight
jeans and it wasn’t enough. Not anymore.
He wanted a mate.
Someone to come home to and warm his bed and his heart. Most of the women he’d
come across only wanted one thing—to bang a fireman and brag to their friends.
“Well, that’s
about as good as I’m going to get if you’re going to scowl like that.” The
photographer capped his lens and sighed, stalking off toward the Captain. “You
can get dressed now.”
“Jerk.” Dante
swiped the robe he’d worn from the floor and shrugged into it.
“Man, you really
need to learn to crack a smile, buddy.” Carter grinned as he and a few of the
others approached now that the photographer had gone.
“Thank you, guys.
Dante.” The Captain came forward giving Dante a narrow eyed look, then nodded
toward the remainder of the group. “We should see the finished product in a day
or so.”
Wait. Product?
