From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Nicole Blanchard comes a new Beauty and the Beast retelling! I had to mate a beast to save my kingdom. Unlike the rest of my kind, I was unable to shift into an animal form rendering me ineligible for the throne I’d been raised to inherit. I was banished to a temple to remain in isolation until the day would come for me to fulfill a promise. A promise brokered by my family to protect our people from the growing threat from mortal humans: marry the last remaining dragon—a man so violent and untamed some say he killed his first mate in a fit of rage. Was it possible for a man to be both a beast and beautiful? Powerfully built, deadly handsome, and gifted with limitless magick and strength, my mate wanted for nothing. Except an heir. He believed I could provide him with a son and break the curse that infected all of shifter-kind. I soon learned there were bigger worries than a dragon’s teeth. The real threat…was capturing his heart. Deal with the Dragon is the first in a trilogy of paranormal fantasy novels with a fairytale retelling twist. It is complete at 65,000 words and may be read as a standalone.

For five years Deirdre Ione has served the vampire hordes as a blood slave, subjected to unimaginable horrors and incalculable pleasure. On the dawn of a rebellion, she manages to escape her captors and falls right into the hands of the last person she ever wished to see again. The dethroned prince of death himself, Triston Cartier. Her first instinct is to kill him—he’s responsible for her capture after all, but he proposes a trade she can’t refuse. If she will serve as his own personal blood slave, he will grant her full pardon from her contract to return home, with enough money to free and care for her family. If she doesn’t, he will return her to the cage—and to the monsters she serves. Being Triston’s slave is a fate akin to death, for his bite offers her a taste of submission so tantalizing she may not be able to resist.
