Have you read the Blood of the Drakon series?
What
is a drakon?
Well
about 4000 years ago, dragons came to our world and mated with human woman.
When their sons were born, their sires abandoned them, returning to their own
world. Feared and shunned, they have existed among us all this time.
They
have the cunning, strength, preternatural abilities, and instincts of their dragon
sires, along with the intellect and emotions of their human mothers. A deadly
combination. And unlike their sires, their base form is that of a human,
allowing them to inhabit either human or dragon form indefinitely.
Few
know of their existence, but a secret group of men and women are working to
capture and cage them. For drakons have not only amassed fortunes, but their
blood can offer healing and immortality to humans who drink it.
They
mostly live lonely, solitary lives. But every now and then a drakon crosses
paths with a very special woman, one who might change his lonely life forever.

DRAKON’S PROMISE
Blood of the
Drakon, Book 1
Darius
Varkas is a drakon. He's neither human nor dragon.
He's
both.
He's
also the target of an ancient order who want to capture all drakons for their
blood. When fresh, a drakon's blood can cure any illness and prolong a human's
life, and the Knights will stop at nothing to get it.
When
librarian Sarah Anderson stumbles across a rare book belonging to the Knights
of the Dragon, she's quickly thrust into a dangerous world of secrets and
shifters and things she never would have believed possible. When the Knights
realize Sarah has a secret of her own, she becomes just as much a target as
Darius. Her scary dragon shifter just might be her best chance at survival.
EXCEPT
“You’re what?” She
shook her head in disbelief, certain she must have misheard him.
But he looked as
shocked as she felt. She got the feeling he hadn’t meant to say what he had.
Then he shook his head and met her gaze. “I’m a drakon. The son of a dragon and
a human female.”
Could her day get
any worse? Yes, yes, it could, because Darius obviously believed what he was
saying. She was trapped in a luxury penthouse apartment with a man who thought
he was part dragon and part human.
“And how did this
happen, if dragons haven’t existed on the earth for more than four thousand
years?” Time to inject a little reason into the conversation. He couldn’t be
totally crazy, not if he’d built a business empire. Or, at least, that’s what
she was banking on.
Maybe he’d played
too many of those fantasy role-playing games as a teenager. Maybe he’d never
stopped.
He raked his
fingers through his thick black hair. “I’m just a little over four thousand
years old, Sarah.”
“You don’t look a
day over two thousand,” she quipped. When he didn’t laugh at her joke, she
hopped off the stool and backed away from him. He sighed and came around the
counter. She held out her hands to ward him off. Not that it would do much good
considering how much larger he was than her. “Stay back.”
“I didn’t mean to
frighten you.” He did seem sorry, but that didn’t change the situation.
“And you didn’t
think telling me that you’re a drakon and you’ve been around for thousands of
years would freak me out?” Because she was honestly finding it hard to breathe.
Her chest tightened and her throat constricted.
“Calm down, Sarah.
No one is going to hurt you.”
“And I’m supposed
to take your word for that?” The fierce expression on his face made her wish
she’d kept her mouth shut. He’d been concerned before. Now he was angry.
She took another
step back and stumbled. Darius lunged forward and caught her before her butt
hit the floor. He pulled her tightly against him, with his arms banded around
her.
God, he smelled
good. She’d noticed earlier, when she’d cried all over him, but had been too
upset to enjoy it. It was a combination of man and a woodsy scent that was both
stimulating and relaxing at the same time.
She was attracted
to a crazy man. It had been that kind of a day. “You can let me go now,” she
told him.
“No.” He scooped
her into his arms. “No, I really can’t.”
