My one true love, the woman I’ve pined after for centuries, is now my greatest enemy. I may not look a day over thirty, but I’m an ancient dragon shifter from the Sahara Desert. God knows eyebrows would be raising if I hadn’t retired from the Special Forces at some point. But staying busy in the service all those years helped keep my mind off losing Katalin. Although my mate went missing centuries ago, my dragon’s fire will never stop burning for her. I can’t possibly forget the way her soft curves fit so perfectly against me every night. And thoughts of letting her slip from my fingers haunt me to this day. So when I’m asked to lead the Special Ops Shifter Force’s L.A. unit, I jump at the chance. Our next mission is to investigate a string of gruesome murders reported by a Venice Beach wolf pack. And believe it or not, all victims have two puncture wounds at the neck. But everyone knows vampires aren’t real. Or at least that’s what I thought—until I came head to head with one myself. With the same angelic face as my mate. Steamy shifter love scenes and an HEA inside! No cheating or cliffhanger in this standalone story. Readers 18+.
