What a Dragon Loves

Arkyn Drekison is the alpha-heir of his Minnesota family’s dragon shifter clan. Always at the front, in the know, and ahead of the curve. But his younger brothers have all found love and, for the first time in his life, he’s… left behind. He can’t fall for just anyone. He needs a dependable, feisty, steadfast shield maiden to love: a fellow shifter who can help lead his clan and mesh with the many strong personalities within his family. So why is he utterly captivated by a woman who is anything but? She’s human, delicate, spacey, and far more comfortable with babies and pets than anyone old enough to make conversation. Yet there’s something about her that entices his dragon and makes his earth power rumble with desire.


Amalthea Payne is a chaotic hot mess on a good day, always saying the wrong thing, easily distracted, and, well… just plain weird. She’s unintentionally high-maintenance, and no one—friends and lovers, alike—needs the kind of bizarre she brings to the table. So she’s a loner, which is probably for the best, because the mayhem churning deep in her soul is growing stronger, threatening to suck her into a void of her own insanity. Yet when she helps the tall, blond, and gorgeous flannel-wearing-Thor-wannabee rescue a kitten, there’s something about him that soothes her savage beast. Metaphorically speaking, of course.


This novella is the fourth book of the Star of the North Dragon series, which can be read in any order or as standalone novellas.
