When a help wanted sign pops up on the main road, he takes a chance on working at the local bookstore, but he finds so much more than a job. Logan meets Dakota and knows right away that the sweet man is his mate. Then he has to set about making Dakota see what he does in their relationship. Can these two overcome the dark shadow of Dakota's past and teach Dakota that home, and family, are where you find them? This book has dragon shifters, talking lizard birds, fated mates, and mpreg!

Dragon shifter Lars is used to hiding who he truly is in order to be a guardian for his dragon community. He's gotten good at it and, while he's happy to see his friends and family mating up, he does feel lonely. A lot. But when an old flame returns and is far from the charming, fun dragon he remembers, Lars decides maybe it's better to go it alone. When Bryant came to Oro Escondido the first time, he had the opportunity to flirt with Lars. To woo him. Now his brother is critically injured, his trust in dragon tradition is shattered, and he just doesn't have the time to make nice. But he quickly realizes Lars is the one for him, and that he has to reverse Lars' bad opinion of him. Can Lars and Bryant push and pull their way to a new relationship, even through family troubles, outside danger, and theor own stubbornness? This is a MPREG romance with dragons, danger, and a bit of snark.
