The Story

She can manipulate the fabric of reality—but she can’t outrun a 300-year-old dragon who refuses to let her fight her battles alone. 🌲🌫️ When 40-year-old widow Ellis Abbot is ambushed and magically shoved into the freezing Lehigh River, she realizes the monsters in the dark are very, very real. But to survive the corporate witches hunting her, she'll have to trust the ancient, dangerously handsome dragon shifter who just offered her his sanctuary. Something wicked is brewing in the foggy, gothic streets of the Paranormal Poconos... and it is finally time to show you its face.

An Excerpt

Ellis: "I didn't realize dragons came equipped as space heaters." Brennan: A slow, easy smile tipped the corner of his mouth. "One of our better, albeit lesser-known, qualities. I can turn it up if you'd like."
