Zarela Zalvidar has always known the arena would be hers. At eighteen, she dances flamenco while her father battles dragons as the most celebrated Dragonador in Hispalia. Spectators travel great distances to watch him fight in their family arena. Everything changes during their five hundredth anniversary show when disaster strikes and her father suffers terrible injuries. The Dragon Guild threatens punishment and wants to seize the arena from the Zalvidar family. Zarela faces an impossible choice. She must step into her father's role as a dragon fighter, despite having no training. Dragon hunter Arturo Díaz de Montserrat could teach her, but the maddeningly attractive man refuses to help. Zarela won't accept his rejection. Someone is working to destroy her family, and she will do anything to protect her inheritance. The Dragon Guild grows closer to claiming her ancestral home. Zarela and Arturo don't want each other, but they need each other. Without his training, her world will burn.
