Dragon shifter Blaine Wingstar has seen a lot over his three centuries of life. Enough to know that the woman whose groceries he just accidentally dumped all over the store isn’t from the shifter town of Cadia. That isn’t the only thing different about the platinum-haired beauty, however, as his dragon’s reaction is quick and fierce. Whatever it is, all Blaine knows is he’s craving more. Cassi Karkasy isn’t visiting Cadia for fun. She’s part of a legal team from rival shifter stronghold Fenris sent to defend one of their own who is locked up. Now a chance collision has her whisked into a date with a handsome shifter who she knows by reputation alone. But does she dare tell him the real reason she’s in Cadia, and why she fought so hard for it? Yet as she swiftly learns, their fates are more directly intertwined than either of them could have planned. As her half-truths come back to haunt her, an attack on her team convinces Cassi that perhaps Cadia isn’t the place for her after all. Can Blaine forgive her, and figure out who’s behind it all before he loses the love he thought he’d never find?
