My car dies on the worst road in the mountain territories. I'm on my way to an inheritance—one that made me the most wanted woman alive. Now I'm trapped in a remote cabin with a dragon shifter king. He's bossy. Silver-tongued. And every time he looks at me, my skin tingles and my pulse races with a hunger I can't control. I should be afraid of him. Instead, I want to burn. There's fire in my blood—fire that's been dormant my whole life. And it's waking up for him. A rogue army is coming. Drayke says he'll protect me. But what I want is to be able to protect myself. Four hundred years of isolation. Then her scent hits me—and my dragon demands a claim that threatens to shatter centuries of discipline. Selene Ward is fire and defiancé and everything I cannot have. But my dragon doesn't care. He wants to mark her. Make her ours. The claiming fire builds every time I'm near her. It could bond her to me forever—or incinerate her from the inside out. An ancient evil is rising. To protect her, I have to risk the one thing I fear most. Losing control.
