The Curvy Girl Meets the Dragon Prince - A Fated Bond of Forbidden Desire, Unbreakable Loyalty, and Unexpected Love #993562

Alondra Gilmore has spent her life proving that the daughter of a condemned traitor can still be useful.
As a human mapmaker in Ashmere, she knows every cracked wardstone, forgotten road, and dangerous boundary protecting the kingdom of Veyrath. But when the ancient wards begin burning blue, Alondra is summoned to Cinderkeep, where dragons rule, old laws decide who is worthy, and her mother’s name still carries the stain of treason.
There she meets Crown Prince Rylan Conner, a powerful dragon shifter trained to place duty above desire. He is disciplined, guarded, and bound to a political future that leaves no room for a human mate. Yet the moment their hands touch during a ward failure, fire answers fire, and a forbidden bond begins to form between them.
Alondra refuses to become a royal possession. Rylan refuses to trust the instincts that threaten his control. Every step closer risks exposing secrets buried beneath the throne, while every attempt to pull apart makes the danger around them harder to ignore.
Now Alondra must decide whether the prince is the greatest threat to her freedom or the only man willing to see the woman beneath her family’s disgrace. Rylan must choose whether protecting the crown matters more than protecting the one person who challenges everything he has been taught.
Filled with dragon-shifter tension, royal intrigue, forbidden-mate chemistry, dangerous magic, and a heroine who refuses to shrink for anyone, this fantasy romance delivers a story about trust, consent, courage, and choosing love without surrendering yourself.
Enter Veyrath, feel the fire rise, and begin Alondra and Rylan’s story today.
