Fired Up Love

Description

Lioness shifter Zina Parker has poured every coin of her inheritance into Purrfect Oasis Spa. Opening day should be a triumph, yet one smoldering glance from a dragon elder sets her nerves fizzing harder than her espresso machine. Commanding, unreadable Xai Emberwylde strides in with a "routine inspection," but the way his molten-gold eyes linger on Zina's mouth has nothing to do with building codes. Her lioness purrs; Zina growls back. She does not have time for destiny-level distractions. Five-hundred-year-old dragon shifter Xai is used to ruling every boardroom and council chamber with icy precision- until a petite lioness in yoga pants flips his world on its horns. Zina's quick wit, sun-kissed scent, and steel-spined loyalty ignite a wildfire beneath Xai's centuries-old self-control. His inner dragon croons to claim the fiery spa owner, but Xai's new elder duties -and lethal politics that follow them- demand flawless focus, not the intoxicating taste of lemon panna cotta kisses. When sabotage rocks the spa and an ancient Blood-Moon ritual threatens to rip the ley-lines of Enchanted Falls apart, Zina and Xai must fuse lion ferocity with dragonflame to protect the town- and each other. A hostile takeover contract with a hidden mating clause, a kidnapped heiress, and the resurrection of the long-dormant Founding Pyre force them into a perilous dance of claws and embers. Only by embracing the impossible bond blazing between them can they stop the dangerous bid for ultimate power before the moon bleeds red. Sometimes the hottest spa treatment is the dragon determined to claim your heart.
