The fated mate of her dreams… is her grumpy ex-boss.

The moment she met Corin Blackburn, Maya Flores's life fell apart. The man who should have been her soulmate rejected her. Lost and alone, she ran away to Hideaway Cove, where she built a new life for herself and her dragon shifter son. And left Corin Blackburn behind. For good.

Or so she thought.

When someone steals from the Blackburn treasure hoard and pins it on her son, Maya and Corin's worlds crash together again with explosive results. Neither of them can ignore the heat between them. But can she forgive him for rejecting her when she needed him most?

Corin Blackburn knew the moment he met his mate, that he was the worst thing to ever happen to her. The duskfire magic that fuels his power would destroy her.

The only way he could keep her safe was to reject her.

But now that she needs his help, can he forgive himself for reclaiming his abandoned fated mate, when his magic might still destroy her?
