A silverback seasoned shifters romance
His mate is on the run. His dragon will do whatever it takes to protect her...
Will their love survive?
Dragon shifter, Kelos, has lived a solitary life. When he finally decides to settle down in Bear Creek the last thing he expects is to find his true mate. After all, he’s waited centuries for her.
It’s love, and lust, at first sight. But Kelos needs to keep his emotions in check until the danger surrounding his mate is dealt with.
Who is he trying to fool? There’s no way this dragon shifter can deny his feelings for his mate. Which means he has to deal with the people threatening his mate’s family now.
Would breathing dragon-fire over their foe or biting their head off be too much? Unfortunately, those days are way in the past and they have to play by the rules of the modern world. Pity.
A phone call from her brother sends Amber on the run with her sister-in-law and two children. Sworn to keep them safe, she travels to the house of an old friend...never expecting to meet a dragon shifter who claims she is his mate.
Amber doesn’t have time to deal with being anyone’s mate. Not when her brother’s family are in danger.
However, meeting Kelos is a blessing in disguise, literally, since he swears to protect them with his life. Not that she wants him to die any time soon.
Especially not when she’s already falling in love with him. Who wouldn’t? He’s handsome, strong, and has a primal need to protect her.
His treasure is not so bad either!
But he says he’d give it all up for her. Now that’s how to win a woman’s heart.
Can a dragon shifter and his mate work together to give everyone a happy ever after?
Chapter One – Kelos
“Going on a hot date?” Martha waddled toward him, her hand under her swollen belly. Hex’s mate was just about ready to pop out their first child and Kelos couldn’t be happier for his friend.
Or more jealous. His dragon puffed smoke out of his nose, and he slinked off. Guilt over his intense feelings of envy made his bad mood worse. Not that his dragon didn’t wish Hex and the other Winter brothers health, happiness, and a bunch of bear cubs running around the sawmill.
Kelos’s dragon simply wished they could find their own mate. Hadn’t they waited long enough?
Fate certainly seems to be dragging its heels where this dragon is concerned. His dragon settled his head down on his feet and closed his eyes.
“I’m meeting Shawn and Joey,” Kelos told Martha as he headed toward the truck he’d recently purchased. He didn’t like driving much and preferred to fly. But since he’d come to the decision to buy a house and set down roots in Bear Creek, he figured it made sense to have a set of wheels.
“Ahh.” Martha chewed the inside of her cheek and nodded.
“Ahh. What does that mean?” Kelos frowned, convinced Martha was laughing at him.
“Nothing.” She pressed her lips together. Yes. Kelos definitely detected humor in her voice.
“What’s so funny?” Kelos asked, taking a step or two closer to the pregnant Martha. She was in no danger from him. He would protect her with his life, even if she were laughing at him.
“Honestly, Kelos, I’m just pleased you have settled down here and found…like-minded friends.” She grinned at him and his brows knitted together as he tried to figure out what he meant.
“You mean like-minded bachelors,” he said the word with distaste.
She nodded. “It’s tough being on your own. It’s good that you have friends that you can talk to. Shifter friends who know what you are going through. Who can relate.”
He sighed wearily. “Yes, they can relate. But with one difference. They have not been a bachelor for centuries.”
Martha’s expression clouded. “I never thought of it like that.” She twirled her finger around her head. “I guess it’s hard for a simple cougar shifter to comprehend that amount of time.”
“You are not simple, and you know it.” He turned back toward his truck and stalked over to it, his mood matching that of his dragon.
“You say the sweetest things, and one day you’ll have a mate to say them to.” The humor had gone from her voice as she followed him to the truck. “And when you do, I’ll be the first to tell her how lucky she is.”
Kelos leaned on the open driver’s door as he looked over his shoulder at Martha. “I hope she will see the truth in your words.”
“Why wouldn’t she?” Martha tilted her head and studied his expression, which he
