Smoke and Emerald - A Dragon Shifter Romance #995142

Emerald dragons are extinct.

Everyone in the Draconis Covenant knows it. Soren Vale knows it better than most. As a fire-clan scout sworn to protect the old mountain seals, he has spent years chasing signs of a weakening Covenant. He expects danger in the Appalachian forest. He does not expect to find a woman sleeping inside a ring of scorched hemlocks, breathing green fire in the summer dark.

Asha Rowan has spent her life pretending the strange things about her are harmless. The green shimmer in her eyes. The fevers that never burn her. The dreams of wings, smoke, and mountains calling her name. When Soren tells her she is not human, she wants to run from him, until the hunters come and prove he is the only thing standing between her and a centuries-old enemy.

But Soren's world is built on buried oaths, and Asha's fire does not destroy first. It remembers.

Someone has hunted emerald dragons for generations. Someone needs Asha alive long enough to unlock the first broken seal of the Covenant. And the closer she gets to the truth, the harder it becomes to know whether Soren is her protector, her temptation, or part of the history that erased her kind.

If Asha wants to survive, she must stop hiding what she is.

If Soren wants to love her, he must stop standing in front of her power.
