Practical accountant Sara Keegan questions her sanity when she is saved from a vicious attack by a man who has the ability to turn into a fire-breathing dragon and who believes her to be his destiny.
The worry rolling off of him made me wrap my arms around him. “Babe, talk to me.” “It’s just a lot. Everything that just happened.” He chuckled. “Yeah.” “I’m pissed you lied to me. I’m pissed at Carey for blaming you for what happened. I’m scared of these powers I’m supposed to have. I’m confused because I love both of you and I don’t know how that works. And I’m sad because everything I thought I knew isn’t real and I don’t know what to focus on to stay grounded. I keep going from pissed, to scared, to confused, to sad…” “What are you right this second?” I took a second to think about it. “Safe.” It seemed it didn’t matter what life altering event I found myself in, I’d always feel safe in Ben’s arms. “If you need to feel grounded, you think of that. You think of me. I’m real. How I feel about you? That’s real. What we have is real. Carey? He’s real too. He might be acting like a dick right now, but that man adores you. That’s real.” I glanced up at him and he tucked the hair behind my ears. “We will figure out something to help you with your magic. We will find the bastard who killed Trini. Babe, it will be okay.” “How do you know?” I whispered. “Because the instant I saw Carey in that house, I was positive I was losing you forever, but I didn’t. You’re still here,” he whispered. “You’re still here and you’re still mine and I’ll be damned if I’m going to let anything mess that up.” Being a vigilante when your boyfriend is a cop? Never a good idea. Finding out magic exists and I'm half fire faerie? That's a twist I didn't see coming. Reading a letter I wrote to myself telling me my long lost best friend is actually my mate? Yep, that happened. Oh, but here’s the best part: having zero control over my powers? Well, that’s just icing on the cake. Now, if someone could explain to me how I’m supposed to navigate aforementioned revelations while catching the hunter killing off the people I love, that would be great, because the war isn’t coming. It’s already here…
"It was one kiss...and it very nearly ended my life ... It's clear I can't have him, and not just because his evil overlord father hates my guts. My crush on Ryland is not my only secret. I'm hiding something bigger than that. It's the reason my dad left, and I am pretty sure it's why his 'magical' cult is now following me around. The only problem? Ryland has a secret too, and his just happens to have all the answers I need. Which brings us to that kiss..."--Cover.
One kiss can change the course of destiny... When ace accountant Sara Keegan decides to settle down and run her quirky aunt's New Age bookstore, she's not looking for adventure.

Sometimes when you break a curse, you open old wounds. Caught up in the supernatural slave trade, mermaid Mila Sealight needs saving, not promises of undying love from a cursed dragon. But allies are scarce, making a down-on-his-luck fire breather her only hope. When dragon Niall MacTeine boards the slaver boat with his brothers, he knows they are going to save people, he just never expected to be rescued himself. He's been cursed a long time and has started to give up hope. Everything changes when Niall is thrown overboard while fighting the slavers and Mila gives him the 'kiss of the sea' to save him from drowning. That's when it hits him—she's the key to his freedom. But breaking the curse that locks him in his human form requires trust and an open heart. Neither of which Mila gives lightly. Niall will have to prove he's worth the risk in order to claim his fated maiden. And he will pay the ultimate price in the process. This is book 2 in the Maidens series but it stands alone. You'll have more fun if you read book 1 Kiss the Dragon (which was a USA Today bestseller) but it's not required.
