Then a human woman walks into his forest…and witnesses the one thing forbidden to mortal eyes.
His dragon.
Poppy Brightwood came to the haunted wood searching for a mythical flower that might save the dying children in her village. Raised on old herbal lore and her grandmother’s whispered stories about magic and secret kingdoms, she expected danger from the forest itself — not from the massive black dragon that crashes from the sky before shifting into a man too beautiful, too deadly, and far too tempting to trust with her secrets.
The moment Alsander scents her, his dragon recognizes her as his mate.
Mine.
But claiming her would doom her.
Ancient Draquonir law demands the death of any human who learns their existence unless she is claimed. Yet the curse devouring Alsander’s soul makes claiming Poppy impossible. If he binds her to him, the darkness inside him could consume her, too. So he does the one thing his dragon cannot forgive:
He keeps his distance.
Even as every glance burns. Every touch feels dangerous. Every night trapped together inside the cursed forest pushes them closer to surrender.
Because something ancient is waking beneath the trees. The curse wants Poppy. His enemies want her dead. And the longer Alsander refuses to claim the woman fate chose for him, the more impossible it becomes to resist the pull between them.

Becca Brayden spends her days writing and her nights dreaming up her next hot adventure with even hotter alien hunks. A Colorado native, she has lived in New Zealand, Florida, Alabama, Kansas and loves to travel in direct proportion to how much she hates to cook, but she tries anyway. Chocolate makes her happy, licorice makes her cringe, and despite the cult following - she hates pumpkin pie and pumpkin spice lattes. (More for you!)
Natural wanderlust has given her a deep love for Mediterranean food and a bookshelf filled with everything from philosophy to sexy romance and hard core sci-fi. You can catch her enjoying a cup of hot cocoa at her website www.BeccaBrayden.com
