What's a girl to do when the guy she falls for is married to another man? This is exactly what happened to me.

But all was not as it seemed, and when Josh needed a woman to sort out a 'delicate predicament' I was the one for the job.

Centuries ago, sound theology and good fiction were friends and not strangers. Decades ago, authors strove not for self-expression and self-disclosure but for a mastery of craft and language and books that transformed the reader with wisdom and love. In more recent years, the old ideals have been exchanged for lesser ones.

But it is the latter qualities that make a book a blessing and gift to both writer and reader.

One night stands should be exactly that, one wild night. Somebody should tell that to the sexy Russian. I love working for an airline and traveling the world—it’s everything I'd ever hoped and more. I work hard and play hard, and if I can have some fun time with a hot guy, why not? I'm a free agent. When my one-night stand is a hunk of a hockey player with a smooth Russian accent and an even smoother way of sweet talking me into his bed, not once but several times over, things definitely get complicated for my heart. I have no intention of having it broken again.

Honestly, I’d feel more comfortable with a blood sacrifice to Satanists than I would being tied to a wolf shifter. Or any shifter. Or any man. Trusting men was how I ended up like this.

Being a dragon wasn’t an honor, and it wasn’t something that gave him pride. No, it was the thing about himself that he hated most.

He couldn’t retreat. There was no escape. There was just Joy Valdez, sitting next to him, obliviously gorgeous. Vincent Dragomir has always felt more comfortable as a dragon than a man.
