    About this ebook

    Carrie has always longed for a mate. Communication is the key to the soul-deep connection she craves. Now if only she could get a certain aggravating dragon to get with the program. Unfortunately, when it comes to Dean, he puts the S in the strong and silent type. She doesn't know why he holds himself back from her. If she pushes him too hard she could lose him forever.

    Dean—bounty-hunting dragon extraordinaire—can hunt down a target blindfolded. When it comes to his newly acquired mate, Carrie, he's equally in the dark. The baggage of their pasts come with walls that seem insurmountable. But the vexing and sexy fairy is his, damn it. He'll do whatever it takes to keep her. Even if it means doing the one thing he dreads most—baring his heart and soul.

     

    Tagline: He'll do whatever it takes to keep her--Even bare his soul.

      An adolescent shriek woke her. Cockerels, she thought, cockerels, with a wry twist to the word. She lay in the dark listening. There was no use in covering her head; the screaming still came through. The soloist was suddenly submerged in the chorus.
