Dragons & Phoenixes Series by Miranda Martin, Nadia Hunter

The world outside the cities went to hell a long time ago. When pollution got so bad it burned away the ozone layer, humans built protective domes in order to survive. Now, between the radiated air and the fighting among dragons and phoenixes, it's not safe to go outside. I'm a transporter. Self employed in a dangerous world, delivering valuable goods from client to recipient. But I never take on the more lucrative dome to dome jobs... moreThe world outside the cities went to hell a long time ago. When pollution got so bad it burned away the ozone layer, humans built protective domes in order to survive. Now, between the radiated air and the fighting among dragons and phoenixes, it's not safe to go outside. I'm a transporter. Self employed in a dangerous world, delivering valuable goods from client to recipient. But I never take on the more lucrative dome to dome jobs. When someone breaks into my apartment looking to hire me, I refuse flat out. One, I don't like being forced. Two, the job requires leaving the dome. Three, the package is a sun-sick kid. Half-human, half-phoenix and I'm supposed to take him back to his phoenix family. Oh hell no! But the client reveals he knows my secret, blackmailing me into a job I don't want with stakes that grow higher each day. I have to take the kid straight through the Dragon Lord's territory. Everyone knows that's suicide. Coming face to face with the dominant, sexy Dragon Lord reveals the truth about my heritage and puts me in more danger than I knew existed. less

When I arrive back at the city dome with Omari in tow, I know it's going to be a challenge. My life isn't exactly ideal for a child, but I'm determined to make it work. I'm resourceful and reasonably intelligent—I'll figure it out. Right? But then my already risky life starts to turn even riskier. A job goes wrong. It happens. I shrug it off. But then another goes sideways soon after the first. And then things really start to hit the fan... moreWhen I arrive back at the city dome with Omari in tow, I know it's going to be a challenge.

But then my already risky life starts to turn even riskier. A job goes wrong. It happens. I shrug it off. But then another goes sideways soon after the first. And then things really start to hit the fan. I've never been without my fair share of enemies but this is ridiculous! And then I have to deal with Ashur when he gets wind of what's going on and shows up to insist I come back with him to the safety of his territory. To make matters worse, Ashur doesn't exactly get along with my friend, Jacob. Never mind that they're both just trying to keep me safe. I dig in my heels, despite everything. I'm determined to stay, to get to the bottom of what's going on. Nobody is going to drive me out of my home if I can help it. But things sure are complicated when there's a pissed off Dragon Lord, an ex-mercenary, and a six year old involved. less

When my home in the city dome is burned to the ground, I retreat to my Dragon Lord boyfriend's territory where he’s been keeping my little half-brother Omari safe. I need a moment to regroup and catch my breath in the aftermath of dear old dad Emberich's multiple attempts on my life. I figure I deserve a break, right? But then a phoenix shifter from King Emberich's court shows up and wants me to be involved in a coup... moreWhen my home in the city dome is burned to the ground, I retreat to my Dragon Lord boyfriend's territory where he’s been keeping my little half-brother Omari safe.

But then a phoenix shifter from King Emberich's court shows up and wants me to be involved in a coup. Apparently, I'm one of the only blood successors, someone with a legitimate claim to the throne. If I'm the best they've got, they're in trouble. I’ve got too much mixed blood and I don't fit in anywhere—not in a city dome with humans, not among the dragons, and certainly not with the phoenixes. But maybe this is the only way to get Emberich off my back. And, more importantly, the only way to protect Omari. Hey, maybe my dragon shifter grandmother, Queen Cinira, could help. The only thing I know for sure is that I'm in way over my head. And I'm only sinking deeper. less
