Lydia Almodine is the newest lady-in-waiting for Queen Seraphine. After recently moving to the kingdom of Crutonia, with no living relatives and no place to call home, she's content with lying low at her new job. Besides, the fewer people who know her secret, the better... But once she encounters Seraphine's younger brother, the handsome yet arrogant Prince Aurelius, he's instantly drawn to her - and worse, he discovers her secret: that she has the ability to shift into a large, scaly dragon with a greedy habit of hoarding treasure. Misunderstandings lead the ambitious prince to come to two false conclusions: that to free Lydia of her dragon 'curse', he must either slay her dragon form - or seduce her human form. Even as Lydia strives to keep her shifting secret under wraps, Prince Aurelius is just as fiercely determined to 'free' her. Through fighting and flirting, the two inescapably cross paths time and time again; but as their struggle for control grows, so does the attraction between them. Lydia's chances of keeping a low profile diminish the more she sees the prince - yet he's the only one she can truly be herself around. Soon, she realizes that the only challenge harder than controlling her dragon side... is stopping Prince Aurelius' charms from capturing her heart.
