Taliyah's beloved, Cephias, may be able to turn into a fierce dragon, but that won't help him navigate the human world. She must escort him across multiple kingdoms in time to save his people from the brutal rival that's stolen Cephias's home, all while fighting to keep the spark of their desire from burning out. Season 2 of Treasured by the Dragon *** Princess Taliyah never expected to fall in love with Cephias, the dragon shifter she was sacrificed to. Nor did she ever think there'd be a greater threat than the beasts she was raised to hate. However, Irving, a rival dragon, threatens to enslave the realm. And though both Taliyah and Cephias fought valiantly against him, Irving still gravely wounded Cephias's wing, which left them stranded far from home. Irving is still out there and time may be running out for Cephias's clan. With Cephias unable to fly, it is now up to Taliyah to lead him through the complexities of human society. And despite their clear path forward, trials keep pulling them off course. Taliyah hopes a knight from her past can help tip the scales, but is it worth the fierce jealousy it ignites in Cephias? Can she prove her devotion to him? Or will the pressure fracture the fragile love she so recently found?

When Princess Taliyah is sacrificed to a fearsome dragon lord she's been raised to hate, she doesn't expect the frustratingly handsome man he transforms into to ignite her deepest desires. Season 1 of Treasured by the Dragon *** When Princess Taliyah's parents sacrifice her to a powerful dragon lord to pay off their annual tribute, she prepares herself to be burned to ashes on her captor's altar. But instead, the fearsome beast whisks her away to his mountain castle before transforming into a handsome lord. As the leader of his dragon clan, Cephias is furious Taliyah's kingdom didn't provide the promised gold treasure. He has no use for a pampered princess. At first, the two clash, but as Taliyah picks through the dragon lord's secrets, she realizes they share a common enemy. As she finds herself drawn in by the passionate man, her plans shift from escaping to securing an alliance through a marriage of convenience to save her people. Given the way his lips burn her skin with desire, marriage would be a sacrifice she's more than willing to make.

Ever since photographer Lacy Maguire caught her ex playing Pin the Secretary to the Elevator Wall, she's been content with her dog Fabio, her three cats, and a vow of chastity. But all of that changes when the reindeer-antlered Fabio drags in a very desperate, on-the-run detective who decides to take refuge in her house -- a house filled with twinkling lights and a decorated tree. (Okay, so it's February, but she has a broken heart to mend, a Christmas-card shoot to do, and a six-times divorced, match-making mother to appease.) For the first time in a looooong while, Lacy reconsiders her vow. Because sexy Chase Kelly, wounded soul that he may be, would be an oh-so-delicious way of breaking her fast. Now, if she can just keep them both alive and him out of jail....
