A dragon warrior. A virgin waitress. Two runaway nephews who started it all.
Beast has ruled the Louisiana swampland for centuries—solitary, sovereign, and waiting for something he stopped believing in. When two teenage trespassers drag their aunt to his door in the middle of the night, he finds her—his mate. A human woman who smells like rain-bloomed flowers and argues back like she was born to do it.
Sky has no room in her life for complications. Single guardian to two troubled teenage boys, working double shifts at a Cajun café, and barely holding the seams of her makeshift family together—she is not prepared for a massive, fire-breathing, thousand-year-old dragon who follows her home and refuses to leave.
Beast wants forever. Sky is offering a week.
But the mate bond doesn’t negotiate.
Beast is a slow-burn bayou romance where a possessive immortal dragon meets his match in the one woman stubborn enough to demand he earn her.
