Fire Breathing Cezar

A dragon shifter running out of time. A virgin librarian who runs from every man. A lunar eclipse that cannot wait.

Cezar is the last of an ancient dragon bloodline stranded in the Louisiana bayou, centuries old and out of options. Without a mate claimed before the lunar eclipse, he will shift permanently into beast form—mind gone, man lost. He has spent decades trying to fit into a world of internet passwords and grocery stores. He is not built for patience. He is built to claim.

Cherry has survived the foster care system, earned her dream job as head librarian, and built herself a careful, quiet life between the pages of other people's stories. At twenty-nine, she has never let a man close enough to matter. She has made a vow to finally turn a new page—until the most dangerous-looking man she has ever seen walks through her library doors and she hides behind a bookshelf.

A fated mates paranormal romance full of heat, humor, and a hero who will burn down the modern world trying to win a woman who doesn't know she's already his. Expect laughs, swoon, and a slow-burn claiming that will leave you breathless.
