SCORCHED BY DESIRE
Dimitri lives to protect the secret of the Dragon Kings from the human race. Bound by a bond stronger than blood to the Kings, Dimitri uses his strength and prowess to defend a thousand-year-old secret. But when an oh-so-sexy, slightly absent-minded archaeologist wanders into his midst, Dimitri will have to give up his rules, and give in to desire…
When Dr. Faith Reynolds stumbles upon an ancient skeleton that appears it comes from a dragon, she’s completely taken aback. A woman of science, there’s no way in her mind that this mythological creature can exist. But when a devilishly handsome man named Dimitri intercepts her path to uncovering the truth, Faith’s curiosity turns into all-consuming passion. She’s never felt this way about any man before. But when Dimitri reveals his biggest secret, can she learn to love the man—as well as the dragon within?

Excerpt
Dmitri still hadn’t decided
about Faith Reynolds. Her dedication to her job was unquestioned. He wasn’t
accepting her answer of just finding the cave, though.
To have chosen this cave
above any others? This one, which happened to have a dragon skeleton inside?
While he’d walked the site
after meeting Dr. Reynolds, he overheard conversations. Many of the volunteers
didn’t believe it was a dragon. They suspected it was a new species of
dinosaur. The few locals he saw milling about were curious, wondering how the
new find would help tourism.
He spotted a few “crazies” as
Tamir called them, watching from a distance, but no one got close. Though he
was curious about the two men Tamir had encountered earlier.
The way Tamir had acted as he
spoke about the incident made Dmitri wonder if word hadn’t somehow reached the
Dark Fae.
Or Ulrik.
Once volunteers began leaving
for the night, Dmitri found himself climbing back down to the cave. He’d
expected to find Faith shutting things down for the day, but she continued to
work.
He didn’t want to be
intrigued by her, but he was. If only his fascination had to do with how she’d
found the dragon. He would discover what had led her to the skeleton, but that
wasn’t what kept his gaze locked on her.
It’s not what kept his body
strung tight as a bow.
She was average height, but
there was nothing typical about her looks. Much to his dismay. His tastes ran
toward the Fae since he preferred to stay away from humans. Yet, there was no
negating the fact that lust burned through his body from the first moment her
sherry eyes locked with his.
There was a . . . simplicity
about Faith that he appreciated. No makeup was needed to enhance her natural
beauty. At first glance, she seemed almost ditzy since her mind ran a million miles
a second, but her intelligence and zest for life were apparent with one look.
Her sandy blond hair hung
straight and glossy to her shoulders and was parted to one side with long bangs
that she swiped out of her eyes repeatedly. The locks tantalized him by
exposing the slender column of her neck and the delicate skin behind her ear.
Unblemished fair skin
beckoned him to touch, to caress.
To lick.
He clenched his teeth at the
need that surged through him. When she turned, he watched the pulse at her
throat and fought the longing to press his lips against it to feel the warmth
of her body.
Her oval face held a look of
innocence and excitement he hadn’t seen in a long time. While her high
cheekbones and sensual mouth added to her beauty, it was her eyes that caught
him. They looked at the world as if it were a large sandbox waiting to expose
its treasures.
His palm still prickled from
their brief touch earlier. The shock that had gone through him had been
electric. The charge surged through him faster than lightning and left him
reeling—and aching for more.
Unable to look away, he
watched as she stood and then bent over at the waist. The sight of her firm ass
high in the air had the blood rushing to his cock. No mortal had ever had such
an effect on him before. It unsettled him—and angered him.
He forced his eyes away and
turned his mind to more pressing matters. He’d been sent because of the
skeleton, but there was something about Faith that didn’t seem to add up.
The most important question:
how had she known where to look to find the bones?
Faith became so engrossed in
her work that she didn’t hear others talking to her. Even when Tamir called her
name, she was often too preoccupied with digging up the skeleton.
Dmitri had watched her for hours.
In that time, he’d listened to her hum and watched her touch the bones with
such reverence that it shook him.
Though he’d come to the cave
to watch her, it gave him time with the skeleton, as well. By the size, he knew
it was an adult. Which of his dragons had gotten left behind? They’d been his
responsibility, and he’d failed.
The longer he stared, the
more he felt the weight of regret. The world had been created for the dragons.
It was their birthright, their home.
Yet they were no longer
welcome.
And he feared nothing would
ever change that.
The Dragon Kings who found
mates with human females were lucky. Those mortals welcomed the dragons and the
Kings. But most of the globe was made up of individuals who wanted nothing more
than to destroy the Dragon Kings, imprison them, or run tests on them.
So he and the others remained
hidden.
But the dragon inside him—the
fierce, savage creature that he was—silently cried out for revenge. And his
family.
