It's Halloween, but Dragon can't find a pumpkin to carve. What will he do?

Her kiss will rock his world... Dragon shifter Rhys believes in what he can hold in his talons. A chef with his own restaurant, he is organized, practical, and distrusts surprises. When his firestorm sparks in the realm of Fae, he's sure it's an illusion created by the Dark Queen and a trap. Even though he wants a partner and family again more than anything else, Rhys isn't going to be seduced by a fake destined mate—even if the kiss of that beautiful selkie melts his very soul and is one temptation he can't resist... Selkie Lila learned long ago that her independence is her most precious possession. But Rhys challenges everything she believes to be true about mortals—he defends her right to choose, even at his own peril, and that's more seductive than Lila wants to admit. Is it just a trick to convince her to bear his son? Or is this Pyr warrior as honorable as he appears to be? When an ancient and evil dragon prince joins forces with the Dark Queen to eliminate both the Pyr and the selkies, Rhys and Lila must work together to save their kinds—and each other. When they plunge into unknown realms with only each other to rely upon, will their combined abilities be enough to triumph—or will they have to surrender more for their unborn son and the chance of a future together? *** The DragonFate Novels continue the story of Deborah's dragon shape shifting heroes called the Pyr. Each book is a romance in which a dragon shifter meets his destined mate—in DragonFate, those heroines have powers of their own. Maeve's Book of Beasts is a prequel to DragonFate that introduces both Maeve's evil plan to eliminate paranormal species from the world (including the Pyr) and the cast of characters assembling to defeat her. In it, you'll meet Sebastian, a vampire who has escaped Maeve and is building the team to destroy her, and Sylvia, the mortal librarian he chooses to hide the ancient volume stolen from Maeve. Sebastian gets more than he expects from Sylvia—never mind that Maeve wants her book back—and Sebastian's slow-burn romance with Sylvia will arc over the entire series. The other slow burn romance in this series features Mel, an immortal fae who needs to find true love to break the curse placed upon her. She's haunted by her late husband, Raymond, who betrayed her but wants to make it right. You can read Mel and Raymond's story, a romance that doesn't end happily and a retelling of a medieval French fairy tale, in Claire Delacroix's An Elegy for Melusine. The DragonFate series so far: 1.

Acceptance My name is Connie Helen Whitsburg, I'm fifteen years old, and this is my story of how I became a Dragon's Whisperer. In Modern day society you'd never expect mythical creatures to exist. When a dragon named Nightly enters my life a whole other world opens up. Now we have to train with the Guardians to fend for ourselves and our loved ones before the mages attack. Can you accept a destiny beyond your belief?

When dragons bond, it’s for life. Security doesn’t work as a solo gig, no matter how determined I am to do everything on my own. Dragons don’t play so well with others. I need a partner or I’m screwed. And not in the hot way. But instead of finding one partner…I find three. They move into my tower, and that’s where it gets messy. Each of them calls to a different part of me. Taylor, the poet, translates the inner workings of my heart, even when I can’t find the words. Quentin’s insights enlighten every situation, pushing all the right buttons and unlocking secret desires. Slade’s the biggest, strongest, yet sweetest man I’ve ever met, and he softens the rough edges of my wounded soul. I’m supposed to choose between them, but I can’t. I want to claim them all. It’s absolute torture. But even worse: one of these precious men hides a secret that could tear us apart. Dragons Entwined includes all three books in the reverse harem trilogy: Dragon Shattered, Dragon Unbroken, and Dragon Reborn. The trilogy features one strong female dragon shifter and the three hot-as-sin male dragon shifters who win a place in her company...and in her bed.
