As the last unmated member of his clan, dragon shifter, Eron Atarah, plans a foodie weekend away in order to put some space between himself and all of the mated couples in the castle. As much as he loves spending all day in the kitchen, constantly being reminded of his single status is taking a toll on his normally, easy-going good.

Curvy girl, Jenna Nichols, knows she isn't good enough to date someone wealthy on a permanent basis, but she's not looking for permanent. At least that's what she tells herself after blatantly getting stood up while sitting alone in the expensive hotel restaurant. She doesn't want to care, but it's hard not to when faced with the very real possibility of spending the rest of her life alone.

When Eron spots Jenna, everything clicks into place, and the need to protect and claim his mate pushes him across the room. Jenna wants everything Eron has to offer, but even though they share a connection, she knows his promises are nothing more than words. Except, they feel like a whole lot more, and suddenly, being alone doesn't feel like her only option.
