The two of us-overlooked and underestimated-had no one but each other. To the world, I am a quiet, unremarkable young woman with a jealous tendency towards my older sister but fading into the background, I listen, I watch, I plan, and I wait.

That same man who once looked at my older sister with loving eyes now pragmatically explained and convinced me why we would make a good match and that it didn't matter what kind of person I was because he knew what really mattered about me. It wasn't the love story I dreamed of but this arrangement-our relationship-had its own practical charm. Yet as days passed, our practical and logical relationship, turned into something more.

Yvon and I had plans, an ambition years in the making. An empire of our own, our safe haven from the monster we were desperately running from. And I won't let anything, not even whatever it is that I have with Lev, stand in our way. And now, the secrets that have been buried are clawing their way to the surface. When the truth comes to light, will Yvon and I accomplish what we set out to do or will we fail to reach our goal? And when it does...

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.
