Sovarielle was born into a legacy of music and magic-one of the legendary sound dragons of Whispervale. But everything changed the day an attack stole her sense of smell, severing her from the bond that connects dragonkind. Exiled by instinct and grieving the loss of her family and horde, she vanished into the human world, learning to navigate life through sound instead of scent. In dragon society, scent is everything. It guides memory, emotion, and-most importantly-connection. It is how dragons recognize their mates. Without it, Sovarielle is considered broken, untethered... alone. Years later, a single misstep leads her back into dragon territory-and into a storm of long-forgotten alliances, mythical creatures, and rising tensions. From sirens guarding sacred seas to secretive centaurs with ancient wisdom, Sovarielle's path is shaped by those who see her not as damaged, but different. And as feelings deepen between her and a dragon who seems to know more than he says, she begins to wonder: If dragons find their mates by scent... will she ever truly know if she's found hers? A map of the country is included in the prologue, showing dragon territories, human cities, and key locations mentioned throughout the story. For readers who enjoy diving deeper, I've also created The Scentmarked Archive, which includes an interactive map and expanded lore exploring ancient dragon territories, mysterious islands, siren legends, shifter homelands, and more. You can find the link to the archive and map in my bio. Thank you so much for choosing to step into this world with me.

She didn't mean to fall for her boss. He never planned to let her get that close. When Special Agent Savannah Hayes transfers to NCIS Washington, she expects cold cases, long hours, and a team that doesn't trust her yet. What she doesn't expect is Leroy Jethro Gibbs - steady, guarded, and impossible to read. Between late nights, dangerous cases, and quiet moments in a basement workshop, something begins to shift. Not fast. Not easily. But undeniably. Because in their world, hesitation is safer. Distance is smarter. And almost is easier. But almost doesn't last forever.

And just when they think they have lost enough, someone from the past returns. Someone who was always a part of their family- but never really a part of their lives. Now, they must learn to live together, understand each other, and deal with the truths that were kept hidden for years. Because sometimes, the people who become your family are the ones you never expected.

Some vows are made with love. Some are made with sacrifice. And some are made when there is no choice left. She never wanted this marriage. He never imagined he would become her husband. Yet somehow, they find themselves bound by vows neither of them chose, beneath the weight of circumstances neither can escape. Two wounded hearts. One unwanted marriage. A past that refuses to stay buried. They tell themselves it is only a compromise. Only a duty. Only a marriage on paper. But some feelings don't follow rules. And some wounds don't stay buried forever. Because sometimes, the hardest part isn't saying I do. It's surviving everything that comes after.
