The cousin of the High King, Lyndi Chandali has lived with the constant threat of being pawned off as a political prize. A rare, female-born dragon like Lyndi can’t truly mate—not in the way it counts. Which is why she’s kept her distance from a certain sinfully delicious Beta. Instead, she’s built a life for herself giving orphaned dragons in the Americas a home.
As Beta of his team of enforcers, Levi Rowtag is a fighter first, last, and always. His job is to protect—his team, the shifters in his territory, and the stubborn woman hell-bent on fighting with him at every turn. He knows from the moment they first meet what she’ll never accept—they are destined to be mated.
But with the kings at war, the enemy is now coming for Lyndi. Worse, he’s coming for her orphans, too. He’ll have no choice but to defy his king and go rogue if he has any hope of protecting them all…and finally claiming his mate.

CHRISTINA’S FOUR STAR REVIEW
What can I say about a book that literally embodies everything I love in a PNR? The only thing that comes to mind is, “OMG!” and “I want MORE!”. No really. I. Want. MORE!!!!
Ms. Owen has had me salivating over her books ever since I picked up her first dragon shifter novel, and she’s still keeping me begging for more. The way she brings these shifter worlds alive, intertwining previous series with the current, has me fantasizing, dreaming that “I” lived within it. I truly wish I was a dragon….or maybe even one of the human mates. It really doesn’t matter. I just want “in”. LOL
Ok, enough about me….
Levi is the beta enforcer for the Hurricans. He’s always been the protector of not only his family, but the humans they vowed to look after. But he’s been keeping a secret. A secret that he’s held in for 200 years. You heard me. 200 years!!!!!! It finally time to confess, but his timing couldn’t be worse. Now, he needs to set things in motion, before it’s too late.
Lyndi is a female-born dragon. Ever since she followed her brother and became a “family member” to the Hurricans, she had to prove her worth. What better way than helping all of the orphan shifters, right? Sounds like she’s done a pretty good job over the years. Now if she can just prove to herself that she doesn’t have feelings for a certain gold dragon…
Nothing like a life changing event to kick start the heart, right? That’s exactly what these two are faced with, yet pull together to weather the storm. Just like the other books in this series, there will be twists and turns and lots of feel good moments. Every time I pick up one of these books, I fall deeper in love with these characters….don’t make it stop!!!
EXCERPT:
Levi grunted as his dragon surged again. Still needing distance, he stumbled inside the cavern he’d just drilled a hole into, seeking calm in the cooler interior out of sight of the others.
After several minutes, he spotted the group through the entrance, all shifted and now moving inside where he waited. The newcomer, Drake, walked in front, blocking Levi’s view of the female causing him so much trouble.
Then Drake, his face seeming to be formed in a permanent scowl, red eyes glowing with flame, moved to the side, and Levi’s dick went as hard as a steel broadsword as his gaze zeroed in on her.
Silky black hair, lithe body, and the face of an angel. Her wide smile, highlighted by a deep dimple that gave her beauty an adorable edge, hit him at the same time as her spring scent. Levi agreed with his dragon on the spot.
Mine.
Lyndi turned her head away from Deep, who had escorted her inside with her hand linked through his arm, and stilled at the sight of him. No doubt his eyes were golden flames. The skin over his cheekbones tightened. Hell, everything tightened. He opened his mouth to welcome her, but her smile suddenly disappeared and she shot him a glare so full of spitting fury, he stepped back.
“Just because I am female-born doesn’t mean you need to treat me like a leper and fly away,” she snarled at him.
Levi froze, a riot of conflicting thoughts keeping him from correcting her. He knew he’d just fucked up, and his dragon was riding him hard to tell her she was wrong. That some misplaced sense of male dragon superiority wasn’t why he’d run.
It was exactly the opposite, actually.
Lyndi walked away while he stood there, still stunned, and he watched her go.
There was no easy answer here, and the lead weight in his chest told him so. Given who she was related to and what she was, not to mention her clear aversion to him already, he had no damn clue how fix any of this, or if he should even try.
