Publisher Description
He’s a dangerous jewel thief… she’s the gem expert standing in his way…
Mikhail Barinov knew he F’d up, five hundred years ago. His ‘one job’ as part of a Russian family of imperial dragon shifters? To protect the family hoard of jewels. But a dazzling virgin—who just happened to be the Elizabeth I, the Queen of England—tricked Mikhail and stole the jewels. But now he has a chance at redemption. The jewels have been found five centuries later. The only problem is they’ve been turned over to gemologist, Piper Linwood. She’s sexy, smart, ripe for seduction—but if centuries of exile taught him one thing, it’s never trust a beautiful woman.
Piper Linwood can’t wait to get her hands on her latest project. But hot damn she never expected how badly she’d want to get her hands on the dark, brooding man she sees at the museum. Of course she didn’t know he was a jewel thief. Or a dragon shifter. But all that becomes abundantly clear when he takes the jewels and her, then flies (yes, flies) to his ancestral castle. While all the alpha-male stuff is what fairy tales are made of—and frankly sexy-as-hell—the fact Piper disappeared with Mikhail has her labeled as his partner in crime. Now she must choose.
Will she betray him to save her career? Or will she stay and become the dragon’s greatest treasure?

Brilliant series
Wow this series just gets better and better. Lauren Smith is an amazing author who draws u into her stories and makes u not want to stop reading. Recommend to all
Needs editing
There are a number of loose ends by the conclusion of this book and many things like the magic that aren’t properly explained. Also somethings were said that had no follow through or that were dropped and never mentioned again. I.e. Mr. Thorne knowing the owner of the Museum only that person never shows up and only a weak reason is given. Also Sinclair makes Piper scream but later there’s no visible signs of torture and its never touched on what he did, i’m assuming mental torcher? But then why show him as sadistic earlier? Also there was the much earlier threat of sexual assault with Sinclair desiring her because she’s a virgin. His character was poorly edited and was almost chartoonish and was depicted as both depraved and just plain Politician evil. Which works... kind of but was poorly executed.
However despite all this I have re-read this book a few times now. Its a fun and cute story that’s just different enough to make me tolerate all the terrible plotting and poorly executed action (dude dies WAY TOO FAST, it’s anticlimactic).
