Doshir moved to the sleepy village of Cairncliff to escape the constant drama of dragon politics, not to mention his cheating ex-girlfriend. When a beautiful woman from the mysterious kingdom of Valgros arrives on his doorstep, Doshir is delighted to be mistaken for a human, and he’s even happier to have the chance to seduce a woman who isn’t only interested in him because he’s a dragon. But secrets have a way of coming to light, and one night will tie Rayne and Doshir’s destinies together in ways neither of them can imagine. In a city where dragons take human form and forbidden magic runs wild, betrayal waits for both the dragons and the dragon hunters.
