An ex-spy's quest for redemption leads her into an uneasy partnership with a genetically-engineered dragon.

For decades, an elite group of spies within the CIA has kept the existence of magic secret from the world. Katrina Harris counted herself among their number, until a drunken brawl with a co-worker got her fired. She’d do anything to re-enter the thrilling world of supernatural espionage—even infiltrate a terrorist cell without backup. 

Dr. Phyllis Harper has an Arctic fortress, a dozen magic-wielding soldiers, and a flock of genetically-engineered dragons capable of knocking American warplanes from the sky. All she needs are pilots. A chance encounter lets Katrina talk the doctor into recruiting her. If Katrina escapes Harper’s fortress with intelligence, she can convince her old bosses to take her back. 

But neither magic nor science can prepare Katrina to have a dragon in her mind. A creature cunning enough to ferret out all her secrets . . . and one whose own fierce memories tell Katrina she might be working for the wrong side.

This story contains mature themes, including alcoholism and suicide. Now complete!

Everything went wrong when Alessandria turned twenty-six. Everything. Now, at twenty-seven, she is a college drop-out who works two jobs to provide for herself and her widowed mother. When her mom contracts endocarditis, a heart disease, Alessandria knows they don't have the money to pay all the extra costs, so when her sister suggests she gets a job at Ashdown Properties, a landlord company that recently started a program for people who want to get started in the business world, Alessandria agrees and is hired as the only human in the vampire-run company. She soon notices that the kind and charming owner of the property has taken additional interest in her, and isn't quite sure what to think since she hasn't dated in years. Damazein "Damon" Ashdown is a vampire who hasn't been around humans much for the last few centuries. Every time he makes friends with one of them, they die, as their species is inevitably apt to do. He is tired of the heartache that comes with the news of a departed friend, so he surrounds himself with vampires and elves, people who won't die within forty years of him knowing them. But when Alessandria comes to him, he can't help being attracted to her. She is looking for a job to take care of her mother when none of her other siblings are able to help, an admirable, and rare, trait in the normally selfish humans who pursuit business.
Taniel (The Taverner's Daughter I) by ChristineJRandall
113 parts Complete
THE TAVERNER'S DAUGHTER - BOOK ONE FANTASY, MAGIC, DRAGONS, ROMANCE, WINGED WIZARDS. Please Note: The rest of this series will not be published until the complete series is drafted and revised - probably another four volumes over the next year. However, this book doesn't end on some really bad cliffhanger, and I think it has a satisfactory 'end' feel, so do read it if you wish. After mistaking a leather-clad wizard for a dragonrider, the taverner's daughter agrees to binding vows: Jarryd hopes for a magic-saving paternity spell but Taniel just wants his dragon. Of course, it is not that simple. It never is. Others have plans for Taniel and can do without Jarryd's interference. Taniel's father is little help, too busy dealing with a guilty conscious and pining for his missing wife. Add talking dragons, kidnappings, a gallivanting Grandmaster Wizard, a wicked stepfather, seductive shape shifting winged wizards, and midwitchery. Stir with rumour of plotting land-locked pirates, spies, feisty forest sprites, rockgoblins, and a failing magical barrier. Welcome to the world of A Corrangorachian Fantasy. SOME MILD MATURE MOMENTS (but maybe not enough to mark MATURE): A few not-particularly-graphic sex scenes. Violence? Could get nasty, depending on your perception. Drug Use? Pipe smoking, copious alcohol, and the odd potion. And some coarse language, of course. (AUSTRALIAN - BRITISH ENGLISH)

Naomi Cliffton believed she would go her whole life hiding her true identity. To the people of Tyrra, she is someone barren of magic and a social pariah. In reality, she is the last dragon shifter: a lone survivor of a race that was killed off for being a threat to Tyrra's hierarchy. In fear of being persecuted like her ancestors, Naomi has never revealed herself, until a chance encounter with one boy changes everything. Malcolm is not the simple guy he claims to be when they first meet, but the prince of Tyrra, escaping from the castle to avoid his royal duties. When street thugs uncover his ruse, they seek to abduct Malcolm and cross Naomi off as collateral damage. Desperate to save them both, Naomi transforms, unleashing her inner dragon. Exposed, Naomi has to accept the pact the king offers: her freedom in exchange for becoming Malcolm's bodyguard. Naomi joins Malcolm at his elitist school where she deals with prejudice from her classmates and growing animosity towards Malcolm's pretentious ways. But when someone tries to murder Malcolm, Naomi must put their differences aside to uncover the conspiracy against the royal family. As more threats stack up, one thing is clear: with a determined assassin after the prince's life, it's up to Naomi whether or not the killer succeeds.
