Elrae's parents died when she was only ten, drawn from life into death without a trace left behind. At 16, it's still a mystery, that is, until her twin and best friend dies in her sleep. And nobody lifts a finger at it. Just some uncommon condition, they tell her. Elrae doesn't think so, especially when she starts receiving dreams in the night, dreams as comforting as they could be spine-chilling. But all too soon, the goodness is drained away, leaving only a plethora of unyielding nightmares every night. And it was only a matter of time before the shadows began to stalk her in the day, too.

For she knew it could ruin everything. It could cause the destruction of all she held dear. It was a knight. * * * Half of all proceeds of the Dragon novelettes benefit battered women's shelters. While this first book is non-explicit, due to the strong sexual content and adult situations in future books, this romantic suspense series is recommended for readers aged 17+. The series is structured for readers to read along as I write them to offer feedback and suggestions on the complex storyline. If you're the style of reader who would prefer to wait until the entire series is finished before you tackle it, that is fine! Simply wait until the series is complete and I'll offer the boxed set. I do that with all of my books. The reason I publish as I write is that I don't write full time and it can sometimes take months for me to finish up a storyline. There are readers who don't want to wait - who would rather read along as I go and stay engaged in the process. That way they can provide feedback and suggestions on the storyline. Whichever way works well for you, I provide an option. I'd love to hear from you at my website at OpheliaSikes.com.Complete
