The one good thing to come out of Ada Underhill's marriage was her daughter, Rosie. Now widowed and alone, Ada’s focus is on Rosie and her apiary. Love is the last thing on her mind.

Rosie quickly decides the mysterious dragon belongs with them, and although Ada tries to keep her distance, the fierce attraction growing between them soon becomes impossible to ignore.

But when a stranger threatens everything Ada has built, Sarkan will do whatever it takes to keep her and Rosie safe—even if it means reminding Moonbell Hollow exactly why dragons are feared.

Because once a dragon gives his heart, there's no turning back.
