DERYK is the 2nd book in USA Today Bestselling and Amazon #1 author, Carole Mortimer, NEW paranormal series, DRAGON HEARTS.

Warriors, from the mists of time?

Dragons, of #myth and #legend?

Or both? If Deryk doesn’t find his mate soon, he will become pure dragon, and once he’s done that, his brothers will have no choice but to hunt him down and destroy him. Arrogant, rude, and abrasive, Deryk is the original bad boy. Which is why he finds it highly amusing when his eldest brother asks him to go in his stead on a visit of diplomacy with the Romanov dragons in Russia. The moment Izabella Mikhailova’s unique scent hits Deryk’s senses, literally bringing him to his knees, he knows he’s finally found the one woman meant only for him. Now all he has to do is convince Izabella she’s his mate. All? This is one stubborn woman, and even more frustrating, she’s human. Izzi’s family has been the public face of the Romanov family for centuries. They are caretakers of the Mikhailov Palace, human servants to the Romanovs. Izzi grew up knowing and accepting that dragons exist. She’s also aware they are the most arrogant creatures on earth, with an iron will that is not to be trusted. Which is why she knows to stay well away from Deryk Pendragon. Unfortunately, everything she’s ever thought about dragons is confirmed when Deryk’s actions trap her in the mating fever. She’ll never forgive him for his cunning and deceit. Or will she? When dragon hunters endanger Deryk’s life, Izzi knows she will do anything, anything at all, to ensure they don’t succeed in hunting him down and killing him.
