Publisher Description
The passion burns hotter in Heat, the next Dark Kings novel from New York Times bestseller Donna Grant.
He knew her round eyes and the deep shade of brown along with the band of black that encircled her irises. He knew the slope of her breasts, the indent of her waist, and the flare of her hips. He knew the way she preferred to wear muted colors to help her blend in with a crowd. It had taken one look to put all that to memory, but he found his eyes going to her again and again, as if he couldn’t get enough.
Nikolai is a dragon shapeshifter who knows well the meaning of loss. Orphaned and raised to be a Dragon King, he never accepts defeat. Now, Nikolai prefers his solitude. . .until a beautiful, irresistible woman calls upon him for help—and Nikolai’s whole world goes up in flames.
Ever since MI5 agent Esther woke to discover her mind taken over with magic, she feels like a stranger to herself. She looks to a notorious dragon, one who has the power to help her find her memory. But as she and Nikolai come closer to discovering what really happened to her, a dangerous passion ignites between them. Can this lone Dragon King help the woman he’s grown to love to uncover the truth about her past—or will a deep and fiery danger tear them both apart.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In the complicated 12th Dark Kings novel (after Blaze), Grant keeps helping dragon shape-shifters find their mates while pushing forward multiple plot lines involving the Light and Dark Fae, rogue dragon kings, and mysterious druids. Nikolai, the king of the ivory dragons, develops his gift of being able to see the memories of others through the pictures he draws. He helps former MI5 agent Esther hunt for the druid who invaded her mind and stole her memories. As they travel to London to visit places where Esther might have encountered the druid, Esther and Nikolai deeply connect in the expected way. Nikolai's sensitivity in reaching out to Ulrik, the dragon king who adopted him and who seems to be pulling the strings that will cause the downfall of all the dragon kings, is particularly affecting. While series readers will devour details of who betrayed whom and celebrate this latest, steamy mating, new readers will be lost inside a story that begins and ends in the middle.
