Part of Dragon Kin, book 2
First published 2008
Talaith wakes to an angry mob dragging her from bed. They want to burn the Nolwenn witch alive. A silver-maned dragon swoops down and rescues her, but this rescue comes with strings attached. The dragon transforms into a devastatingly handsome man who declares Talaith his property under dragon law. He expects compliance and gratitude. Instead, he gets sharp words and stubborn resistance from a woman who has survived as an outcast through her own power. Briec the Mighty thought claiming this witch would be simple. He planned to enjoy her magical abilities and her body. What he did not expect was falling under her spell in return. Talaith refuses to play the grateful damsel. Her constant arguing should annoy him, but instead it draws him deeper. Briec discovers that conquering a strong-willed human woman poses dangers he never anticipated. His growing feelings for Talaith could threaten not just his pride, but the survival of all dragonkind.
