The Dragon at Midnight (Monsters in Uniform Romance #1)
Bella Blair
I swore I'd never fall for a man in uniform.
Then a dragon shifter pilot claimed me under the lantern light.
Berlin, 1948.
The war is over, but the city is still starving.
I'm Inga Weber—eighteen, German, and raising my little brother in the ruins. By night, I work in a bar for American pilots. By day, I stand in ration lines and pray the Soviets don't come back for what they already took.
Love isn't an option. Survival is.
Then Gideon Griffin walks in.
He's dangerous in a way that has nothing to do with his uniform—scarred, controlled, watching me like he's holding something back. When Russian soldiers corner me in the dark, Gideon steps in with a fury that feels ancient.
Inhuman.
Because Gideon isn't just a pilot.
He's a dragon shifter—one bound by fire, secrecy, and a mating instinct he can't deny.
And somehow… I'm his.
As Berlin becomes a battleground again, Gideon's enemies close in, and the bond between us tightens—hotter, deeper, impossible to escape. He wants to fly me out of the ashes, claim me as his mate, and build a future far from war.
But loving a dragon comes with a price.
If I stay, I risk my life.
If I leave, I lose everything I've ever known.
And if Gideon fails to protect me… the city will burn.
