After waking up to a severe snowstorm, schoolteacher Emma Miller thinks the most exciting thing she would do while snowed in at home that Friday would be sitting with a mug of hot chocolate and streaming a few movies. However, when the weather forecast is interrupted by breaking news of a sizeable island with what look like man-made structures appearing off the coast of England, she never dreams that shocking incident would touch her personally a world away in Texas. That loud thump in her backyard is just a huge tree branch hitting the ground, breaking because of the weight of the snow…right? So why is her phone suddenly screeching with the emergency siren reserved for Amber alerts and tornado warnings? Dragon-shifter Sevek was warned over and over by the royal scholars not to fly too close to the ghostly city of another world that was currently bleeding into their world, but he just couldn’t help his obsession over every minute difference he observed as the days passed. Even knowing the danger, it’s still a shock when he suddenly finds himself shifted back to his human form mid-flight and seconds from slamming into a suddenly snow-covered ground. Injured, Sevek finds himself at the mercy of a beauty with suspiciously kind eyes within the very alien world he had been obsessing over for years. Princess Briana warned them about the dangers of her home world should the world’s governments discover the existence of dragons. Can he trust Emma’s offer to help him find his way back to his people, or will her sweet scent cause him to do something stupid? Two worlds collide in this thrilling and steamy paranormal romance adventure! Contains mature content, language, and hot dragon shifters. This is a complete story with a HEA. less
