I should have died with her.

When my mate died, I was meant to follow. But I survived, and now I’m an outcast among my own people.

Then I meet her.

Madison Page shouldn’t have any effect on me, yet when I lock eyes with her, something inside me stirs. She’s my enemy. But for some reason, I can’t stay away.

I never wanted a mate again, least of all a human.

But when my people demand eight women as tribute, Madison is one of them. The military says she’s a traitor, and I’m left with no choice but to take her to the island I call home.

At first, she’s just another human. Someone I’m forced to put up with. But as fate pushes us to uncover the truth of my past, the more I realize I need her if I ever want to have a future.

In a world torn by war and betrayal, I never expected to find love again. But now, I can’t imagine living without her.

I ran when the dragons attacked, only to end up in a bad place.

So I tried to run again.

This time, I somehow ended up dumped on the shores of the Dragon Isles, with no memory of how I got there, and only the word of an angry but handsome dragon-man to say that I volunteered. As if.

I cant leave, but I cant stay. The dragons ruined my life once before.

I wont let this one do it again.

No matter how much my stomach ties itself into knots when he comes near.

She was who I needed. Even if I didn't know it.

As heir to one of the powerful dragon houses, my father expects my mate to be a proper ‘match' for my position. He's spent years parading those he approves past me.

I hated them all. No woman was right for me. Until our ruler tricked me into taking a human for a mate.

My dragon has never been so alive. So obsessed. From the moment I laid my eyes on Chloe, I knew that I had to have her. To make her mine.

Unfortunately, the most recent of my rejected ‘proper' mates is also the youngest daughter of a rival house. Taking a human mate so soon after turning her down in public has them up in arms over the perceived insult. They demand I give up the one thing I won't compromise on:

Chloe.

But all this might not matter, because she hasn't told me everything. And her true reason for coming to the Dragon Isles could threaten all dragonkind…

He walked into my life, turned it upside down, and then walked out.

Nine months later, I gave birth to our child. I thought I'd never see him again.

I was wrong.

He's back, and intent on wrecking all my careful planning. Again.

I want him to leave me alone.

But one lopsided grin on that devastatingly handsome face, and I'm reduced to his bedroom plaything once more.

I'm caught in his vortex; my life being shredded apart with every inch closer I get to him.

So why aren't I resisting harder?

He's my disaster, and I can't look away.
