Can a curvy baker help this broken dragon find peace? Born in a lab and tortured for a lifetime, hybrid dragon Dallin has never had a real home or a purpose beyond revenge. And he doesn't expect that to change now, even if he's forced to be some human's bodyguard. Then he meets Jo, the curvy baker he needs to protect. She's fiery, sweet, passionate, and far too good for a broken monster like Dallin. But that doesn't stop his inner dragon from sitting up and growling 'mine'. When Johanna gets a ridiculous letter claiming she's in danger and has been assigned a 'Dragon Protector', she thinks it's a scam. Then Dallin shows up, with his hulking body, haunted teal eyes and a face so gorgeous it could almost be supernatural. After he saves her, Jo realizes everything is true. She's in danger, and despite his perpetual scowls, Dallin is determined to keep her safe. Too bad Jo is starting to feel the real danger is how quickly she's losing her heart to a sexy, unexpectedly sweet dragon who needs her as much as she needs him. Between cupcake flavored kisses and steamy nights overlooking the ocean, Dallin's getting the distinct impression that maybe he's found the one—his mate. But he knows there's still something inside him that he can't fix. And if he doesn't learn to let Jo in and trust his heart, an unstoppable force from the darkness may destroy everything they hold dear.
