In the midst of an ill-fated search for a blood relative, she stumbles across a gorgeous giant of a man with secrets as big as his muscles. As much as she longs to relax into his embrace, she can’t. He’s the exact sort of trouble she can’t afford. The eldest of three dragon shifter brothers, Caine’s icy facade is nothing more than a cloak against the doubts he harbors inside.

Determined to know more about his mate, Caine’s inadvertent searching has led her past right to his doorstep. But Annalise is his mate, and Caine will destroy anyone who tries to lay a claim on her. No matter who they may be…
