You're never too old for love... Dragon knight Mikhail has spent the many years of his life in the pursuit of duty. But when his latest mission sends him to a sleepy California beach town, he's shocked to come across a murder in progress. And even more shocked to realize (after plummeting from the sky to save the day) that it's four older women in a writing group acting out a scene from a murder mystery. But that's nothing to how he feels when the "murder victim" looks into his eyes... and he knows that the beautiful gray-haired woman is his mate. Bird Worcester used to write children's books, before a bitter divorce separated her from her beloved son and daughter. Twenty-seven years later, she's still picking up the pieces. But when a handsome, silver-haired stranger literally drops into her life, she finds that her heart just might still be alive after all. But years of lonely solitude and their very different lives aren't their only obstacles. There's also the little matter of Mikhail's dangerous mission...
