Evander Logmire is okay with being single. At least for now. As an immortal dragon shifter, he knows that it might be a long time before he finds his mate, but he's confident that someday he will find her. When she walks into the sports bar he's sitting in to pass the time, he can't believe his luck, but his happiness is quickly overshadowed by the fear in her eyes.

Kari Donovan hates living in the city, and her wolf hates it even more, but wide-open spaces make her vulnerable to other shifters, and she knows they can't be trusted. Especially dragons. So, when a gorgeous dragon shifter notices her, she doesn't hesitate to run. She might be completely alone in the world, and barely getting by, but she's not ready to die.

Evander is hurt by Kari's initial rejection, but her fear brings out all of his protective instincts, and he isn't about to let her get away. Not when she needs him, even if she isn't ready to admit it yet. Kari wants to believe in everything Evander has to offer, but it all seems too good to be true, and trust doesn't come easy when you've been without it for so long.
