Nic was dark, brooding...and impossible to resist. But Nic was keeping a secret, and in the end he left, unknowingly leaving her expecting their baby. Cassidy loves her three-year-old daughter with everything she has. But Nic's secret makes the little girl invaluable to the fae. When a powerful fae comes for her daughter, Cassidy takes her and runs to the only man who can save them. Nic never expected to see Cassidy again, but he'll do anything to keep her and his daughter. He just has to convince Cassidy to give him a second chance—and keep his newfound family safe from the fae. *A red-hot second chance shapeshifter romance* Immerse yourself in USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Rivard's award-winning world of dark shifters and treacherous fae... NOTE: Sea Dragon's Hunger is a fast-paced romantic suspense set on a remote California sea island. All books in the Fada Shapeshifter Series are standalone with an HEA, but the people, clans and stories interconnect. If you crave dark shifters, dangerous fae and intense emotional storylines, this series is for you. "I highly recommend this series if you are a shifter fan. There is sex and suspense and everything you could hope for in a shifter book. I can’t wait for more." ~Paranormal Romance Guild EXCERPT: Nic had been restless all day, and it was growing worse. His Irish mother had been a powerful Seer. Nic couldn't see the future like his mom, but he'd learned to trust his premonitions. Trouble was on the way. He dove into the water. The ocean was a seething mass. A wave crashed over Nic's head. Even in his man form, he could hold his breath much longer than a human. But his animal wanted out. Nic dove deep and let the shift take him. Energy rippled over his skin. For a few seconds, his body was a cluster of incandescent lights—blue, purple, green—before shaping itself into the powerful body of his sea dragon. Nic arced in and out of the waves, reveling in the slide of salt water over his skin. He had rudimentary wings and could fly in short spurts, but the ocean was his element. A school of common dolphins scattered at his approach, chittering anxiously to each other. In this form, Nic measured twenty-five feet from nose to tail, and he had the teeth and claws to match. Nic ignored them. He might be a half-savage dragon, but he drew the line at eating something as intelligent as him. In the sky above, lightning flashed, followed by a crash of thunder. Rain slashed down, pelting his dark-gold hide. He dove beneath the waves, stopping a couple hundred feet down. Above him, the storm still raged, but this deep, the sound was muted, the black waters calm. He glided through the midnight liquid, the premonition riding him like an itch that couldn't be scratched, teasing at a part of him buried so deep, he could go weeks without thinking about it. Trouble. Cassidy O'Byrne. Pain sliced through him, fresh as the day he'd left Ireland—and her. He gritted his teeth and bore it. Then his spine prickled. His dragon was racing for the surface before his mind caught up. Cassidy was here—and she was in danger. THE FADA. Shapeshifters created during Dionysus's infamous bacchanals from a mix of fae, human and animal genes. They're ruthless, untamed...and when they love, it's forever. *BEST SHIFTER SERIES of 2018 ~ PRG Reviewer's Choice Awards* Keywords: sea dragon romance, sea dragon paranormal romance, sexy dragon romance, unusual shapeshifters romance, dolphin shifter romance, dolphin shifter paranormal romance, shapeshifter series romance, shifter series romance, shifter series paranormal romance ebook, shifter series paranormal romance novel, second chance romance, secret baby romance, second chance paranormal romance, secret baby paranormal romance, woman in danger romance, woman in danger paranormal romance, gripping paranormal romance, band of brothers, misfits who band together, steamy paranormal romance, steamy paranormal romance book, steamy paranormal romance ebook, dark fae, dangerous fae, happily ever after

Infused with magic and romance, this sweeping fantasy adventure inspired by the legend of Mulan follows a young woman determined to choose her own destiny—even if that means going against everyone she loves. The Three Kingdoms are at war, but Meilin’s father refuses to answer the imperial draft. Trapped by his opium addiction, he plans to sell Meilin for her dowry. But when Meilin discovers her husband-to-be is another violent, ill-tempered man, she realizes that nothing will change for her unless she takes matters into her own hands. The very next day, she disguises herself as a boy and enlists in her father’s place.
