Only, his brother wants to force her to be his mate in order to end the war between the two clans. Derek's plans to take it easy with Jade are soon ruined by an angry alpha changing in front of her and revealing all the secrets she never knew. Jade Thorn is at a great point in her life. Graduated from film school, she is working on the type of films she loves; romantic fantasies with deadly creatures who have redeeming qualities. But when she is kidnapped by men claiming to be dragons, she gets a rude awakening to how real the stories she helps tell truly are. Now, she is faced with a cruel dragon clan leader who wants to make her his mate for a political venture for power and his brother who is confusingly kind. Even though Derek and Jade are supposed to be enemies, their eyes, hearts, and bodies want the exact opposite. But both the war of the clans and his brother's claims could jeep them apart.
