How brave must you be to love a dragon? Keira loves her rustic village life, but she doesn't love the man her overbearing mother expects her to marry. But that is of little consequence to her neighbors, especially as two newcomers have stirred up excitement in the village. The first new arrival is Aaron Drake, handsome and charming, and intent on pursuing Keira, which stirs up trouble with her mother and soon-to-be-betrothed. As for the other new arrival, who wants a fire-breathing dragon living in their backyard?

After three months of marriage, Aaron and Keira Drake are still very much in love. Anna, Keira's younger sister, has made Storbrook her permanent home, while Max, a young (by dragon standards) clan member, has also recently arrived at the Dragon Master's home. Sparks immediately fly between Anna and Max, but when the prince calls on Aaron for his help with a rogue dragon threatening the city, Aaron and Keira must find a way to work through their own doubts and fears, while Anna and Max are tested in different ways.

When Max flew away from Anna in a blazing stream of flame, she was determined to forget the shape-shifting, fire-breathing dragon. But five years have passed, and still his memory leaves an ache in her heart. A memory that Garrick Flynn, her childhood friend, would love to erase.

But danger and intrigue are never far away as she joins the royal court and serves as companion to the queen. Is it possible to have a second chance at the deep and passionate love she once scorned?

As he and his uncle, Zach, track down disturbing rumors, Xavier meets people who challenge his beliefs about the human race.
