“Like you ever take five minutes!” Trent swatted him with a dish towel. “Since you have so much energy, why don’t you go get more wood for the fireplace?”
Jace’s arms slid around him. “Because I don’t want to leave you, not for one second.”
It was what Trent liked most in all the world, to be held by Jace. His body softened, and he leaned against him. “You better not ever leave me for one second,” he whispered. “You’re my bodyguard. You need to protect me from ever being lonely again.”
Jace’s lips touched his ear. “You do look like you need protecting.”
As it turned out, there was time for one more trip to the bedroom after all.

Gold Dragon’s Spark
A dragon with a troubled past
Dragon shifter Ric wants to make amends. After a foolish stunt in his past left an innocent bystander badly hurt, Ric spent every penny he had taking care of the injured man. But it's not enough, and the guilt weighs heavily on him. When his father offers him a fortune to provide an heir for the family, it should be the perfect plan...except Ric isn't interested in relationships. He just wants a way to pay for his mistakes.
An omega trying to do what's right
Bradley is trying to escape his past. The young omega used to be a member of a violent anti-dragon cult, but he has broken free, and all he wants is to put his life back together. But his family is broke, and about to lose their home. And now a dark figure from his past has returned to pull him back into the fight against shifters.
At first the future looks bright...
When Ric and Bradley meet, they realize they can help each other. A fake, temporary marriage will get Ric back in his family's good graces, and he'll have the money he needs to help the victim of his accident. And Bradley will be able to save his home, as well as get protection from the cult.
...But the past always catches up
But what was meant as a fake relationship turns real, as the dragon and omega begin to open up about the guilt they carry from their pasts. Neither wants to admit it, but this may be the deepest connection either has ever felt. And when Bradley realizes that a night of unprotected love may have left him pregnant, he feels even more bonded to the alpha. As close as they feel, though, there are secrets neither has shared. And now someone is revealing those secrets, one by one, to tear them apart. Will they give in to suspicion and guilt? Will they let all their history come between them? Can the power of forgiveness, understanding and love overcome the evil scheming of the people who would see them separated?
Iron Dragon’s Thief
Who could come between a dragon and his hoard?
When dragon shifter Tyson discovers that millions of dollars have been stolen from him, he needs the best investigators he can find. He's the controversial developer behind the biggest skyscraper in the city, and the theft threatens his building and his entire future.
Jason is a petty thief. Or at least he used to be, before he became an investigator for Securitas Vipera, a security firm specializing in shifter clients. But the pressure is too much, and he cracked under his last three cases. Solving the theft of Tyson's hoard is Jason's last chance to prove himself.
There's just one problem: They hate each other.
Tyson expects an old-fashioned investigation--detectives and interrogations. He's appalled at the way Jason skirts the law, hacking into the bank where Tyson's money was stolen. And if Jason has to hear one more criticism coming from the stuck-up dragon, he's going to go crazy!
But when they argue one night on the roof of Tyson's skyscraper, each reveals more than he meant to, and they begin to see a deep connection. What happens next is unexpected...and unprotected.
That's when things get complicated...and dangerous.
Jason's life is turned upside-down by the news he is carrying the dragon's child. And all the while, the forces that have targeted Tyson and his hoard continue to close in. But now they've discovered Jason too, and he and his unborn baby are in danger. Unseen enemies threaten to tear his relationship apart, planting seeds of distrust and suspicion in this new love.
Will Jason, his body changing from the pregnancy, be able to discover who stole Tyson's hoard? Can Tyson overcome his deep distrust of humanity and admit his love for Jason? And can this love draw them back together when everything around them threatens to pull them apart?
Red Dragon’s Mate
Kit just got busted. His family found the dragon-shifter dating app on his phone, and now they're insisting that he get counseling, saying his attraction is unnatural. But when a dragon saves him from a near-fatal accident, and he finds himself wrapped in the shifter's arms, he realizes there is no other place he would rather be.
Red Henry is the life of the party in the local dragon community, with a long string of omegas vying for his attention. But something's wrong. His endless nights of partying, and squandering his hoard on material possessions, is covering up a deeper need...a need he can't admit to himself until the day he saves Kit.
It should have been perfect. But when Kit discovers he is carrying Red Henry's child, his entire world is turned upside down. Bewildered and confused, he obeys his family's insistence to attend a shifter-addiction support group. But when he discovers the group has a darker, more covert agenda--sparking a war between humans and dragons--can he protect himself and his unborn dragon-baby from their vile plotting, or will he need the help of Red Henry, the one dragon he never thought he could face again?
