A dragon shifter. A trauma nurse. Instant flames.

Vander Kelmeyer was a sworn protector of this world for hundreds of years. Dragon shifters are thought to be strong, powerful mythical creatures that only exist in fairy tales. However, that is far from the truth. Vander, the Warrior, was on a relentless mission to stop an evil dragon that had decimated a small nearby village.

It was his duty to protect.

Only this battle ended with him crash landing onto the earth.

Trauma nurse Faye Adams had thought she'd seen it all. A mysterious shifter rolled into her unit, body broken and half dead. There was something about him that had her intrigued. Maybe it was the fact he'd survived whatever hell he'd been through, or perhaps it was the intense gaze from his golden eyes.

Vander's beast immediately recognized Faye as their destined mate. There would be no stopping a dragon intent on laying claim to their mate. Faye and Vander's romance ignites into a fire that quickly becomes deadly. His enemy had been searching for Vander's weakness, and he found it–Faye.
