She’s finally learned to say no—until fate sends her someone she can’t refuse.

After a lifetime of abuse and disappointment, Sammy has built her world on independence. She runs a thriving restaurant, hires people who need second chances, and refuses to let anyone—especially a man—dictate her life again.

Then Storm Walsh calls out of the blue, claiming that Sammy is fated to be the mate of her son, Melbourne. Sammy laughs it off—until Melbourne himself shows up on her doorstep, handsome, patient, and entirely too sure that they belong together.

Melbourne isn’t looking to control her—he’s looking to protect her. As old wounds reopen and family secrets resurface, Sammy must decide whether to trust the dragon-blooded man who swears she’s his destiny… or to walk away from the one love strong enough to melt her defenses.

Fowler had no desire to take over as king of the dragons, at least not yet, anyway. His grandmother, the former queen, was pressuring him into taking a mate. He didn’t need a mate, and that was that.

Amy hated rich people with a passion. If she wasn’t forced into going into this lunch meeting with the Walshs, she wouldn’t. And she certainly wasn’t going to be forced into eating a hamburger she didn’t order by some handsome, arrogant prick. Enough was enough; she was out of there, and when he grabbed her arm, all bets were off…

Layla Marks had somehow been saddled with her family’s debts. Now that nearly everyone was gone, it was up to her to make things right. Even at a physician’s pay, it wasn’t nearly enough to do the things she needed to do, like put markers on their graves. Now, some idiot lawyers were ranting that she had some long-lost family because of some DNA test she didn’t even take. Oh, well, it was too late to claim the inheritance now anyway. She’d missed the deadline.

Madison thought Layla Marks was one of the most stubborn women he’d ever met, next to his Mom. Even if she was his mate—he’d buy her a house and let her live in it. He’d stay in his apartment. Stubborn or not, there was no way in hell he’d let her walk away from that much money…

A dragon who doesn’t believe in fate. A woman with secrets that could shatter his world.

Dyson Walsh has spent his life protecting his family and building his legacy, but love? That was never part of his plan. As a dragon shifter from a powerful bloodline, destiny may have its own ideas—but Dyson refuses to be bound by prophecy. Until he meets Emma Marshall.

Emma has spent years fighting for her independence, breaking free from a past filled with betrayal and heartache. The last thing she needs is a bossy, arrogant dragon who thinks she belongs to him. But when she’s framed for a crime she didn’t commit, Dyson is the only one who can protect her.

As danger closes in and an ancient enemy resurfaces, Emma and Dyson must decide: will they fight the pull between them or embrace a love powerful enough to rewrite destiny itself?

He doesn’t believe in fate. She doesn’t believe in love. But destiny doesn’t take no for an answer.

She’s got a warehouse to launch, a daughter to protect, and zero patience for arrogant men—even if they’re dragons.

Tabby Reader isn’t here for fairy tales. She’s building an empire, raising her daughter, and keeping her troublemaking brother, Tommy, in check. The last thing she needs is a possessive, growly stranger complicating things with talk of fated mates.

Edgar Walsh thought his biggest problem this week would be financial projections—not falling head over talons for a fierce, no-nonsense woman who makes him feel like the ground’s shifting beneath his feet. Literally.

When sparks fly and tempers clash, Edgar and Tabby find themselves battling more than just attraction. Tommy’s behavior is spiraling—and it might just drag their future down with it.

Sometimes, love doesn’t arrive with roses—it crash-lands with fire, fury, and one very stubborn dragon.
