When a university student uncovers a plot to harm her crush and must expose the truth before it is too late.

***
Season 1 of  Shadow Series

Aron Dermis is a fierce university student shaken when she overhears Asher Williams discussing a plan to put her long-time crush, Skylar Arison, in danger during an upcoming university trip to Paris. Aron finds a hidden file on Asher's computer and discovers that Skylar found evidence implicating Asher in multiple illegal activities such as blackmail and financial fraud. Immediately Aron recognizes that Asher has planned to eliminate Skylar during the Paris trip to protect his secrets.

Recognizing the looming danger that Skylar faces, Aron suddenly finds herself in a race against the clock. Aron understands that exposing Asher's plan means more than simply saving her love; it's about confronting a darkness that could threaten everything she holds. As Aron enters into Asher's details further, she faces dilemmas, teetering the line on the lengths she would go to to protect those she loves without losing who she is in the process.

Aron's mission is fraught with potential threats and in her search to expose Asher, she is tempted to risk her safety, academic future, and relationships. As she continues to expose Asher's plan, further information unfolds, including Asher's plan to have Skylar die during the trip in a way that would appear to be an accident.

In a dramatic showdown, orchestrated with precision by Aron, she manages to beat Asher at his own game, exposing his crimes and rescuing Skylar from his imminent demise. The experience changes Aron forever, but as the darkness lessens she starts to heal the trust and the relationships that were tested during the time of Asher's plots.

Aron and Skylar can look forward to the future knowing they have each other and are finally riding out into the light, after being in Asher's shadow for so long.

"Do you remember calling me 'mate?'" he asked softly, pushing her wild curls away from her face. She blushed deeply, but he wouldn't let her look away. "You heard that?" He nodded with a smile. "It was the first thought she ever shared with me." Skylar pursed her lips. "She likes you very much." "What about you?" he teased gently. "How do you feel about me?" She set her jaw and once again managed to look down her nose at him while staring up at him. "Well... well, I'm rather fond of you, Orion." He let out a relieved laugh and pulled her into his chest again. "What a relief. I was worried it was just me." He nuzzled her temple, inhaling deeply, his dragon fully at peace. The words "I love you" were right on the tip of his tongue, but he knew it was too soon for that. He would have to hold them in just a little while longer. "I'm fond of you, too," he whispered in her ear. <><><><><><><><> Skylar lived her life in fear. Fear of exposure, fear of herself, and fear of her future. As a princess and heir to the kingdom, her future was daunting enough. The fact that she turned into dragon and would be killed if anyone found out made it all the worse. So, Skylar lived in constant conflict with the beast within her, all while training to be queen one day. When a fellow king discovers her secret, she is forced to flee or put her entire family in danger. When she meets Orion, the Alpha of a dragon clan, he helps open up a whole new world to her. In this new world, Skylar discovers who she is supposed to be and what she's been hiding from. She finds the beauty of her beast and a love she only ever dreamed of. But then her new world is threatened. It becomes a matter of kill or be killed, so Skylar's new family, with the help of her old, must rise to the challenge to defeat this threat. Or risk the extinction of her kind.

It can feel like a nightmare that you can't wake up from. Love changes people in many ways, from mild to severe, whether it's beneficial or detrimental in anybody's life, no matter if you're lesbian, gay, straight, bisexual, pansexual, or a person who just loves people without a label. How does love change you? ******* It's like your basic high school love story, except it's with adults in their early-mid 20s, and they're either still in college or have graduated from college and have jobs. It's a modern slice of life narrative novel about lesbians trying to find true love or wanting to get back into the love game. Five of these lovely characters share their own little tales of how love changes them first go, or their first time in forever! Their perspectives on love as it takes effect either get sensual, dramatic, or to the extent of a slow burn, as they also deal with life's obstacles along the way and share a part in each other's stories. There are ups and downs as their own stories go along, and it all gets more suspenseful towards the end where problems unfortunately arise. Will things get better or worse from here for these lovestruck lesbians as the story goes on?
