She thought the worst thing that could happen was losing her marriage. She was wrong. Zana never planned to reinvent herself in her forties. But when a storm swallows her whole and spits her out in a realm that shouldn't exist, reinvention stops being optional. The Between is just the beginning. Beyond it lies Velmora—dragons, ancient magic, warriors who have lived centuries, and a world that has been waiting for her specifically. Luke is everything she was taught not to want. Arrogant. Intense. Certain of her in a way no one has ever been. Their connection ignites the moment they meet and refuses to be ignored no matter how hard she tries. She spent years making herself smaller for a man who never deserved her. Velmora won't let her stay that way. She is the key. He is the fire. Together, they will burn. Portal fantasy for grown women who like their romance explicit, their heroines unapologetic, and their heat slow-building and worth the wait. Contains strong language, betrayal, emotional abuse, violence, and explicit sexual content. 18+ strictly.
