Ruthless dragon king Ladon Ormarr must keep his throne-and his people-safe from the cruel High King at all costs. With war on the horizon, he'll need a miracle to protect his clan. He needs a phoenix. And the irresistible Skylar Amon might be the salvation he's been waiting for. But the last thing this phoenix wants is him. She detests Ladon, doesn't stick to protocols, and regularly offends his warriors and advisers. Skylar also has no intention of sticking around, nor does she believe in the whole "destined mates" thing. But if it means taking out the High King who murdered her parents, she'll put up with the too-sexy-for-her-sanity Ladon... temporarily. Attraction may make them want to tear off their clothes, but outside the bedroom... well, Ladon is positive the fates hate him. Because when the High King makes his final move, everything with the mercurial phoenix goes to hell. And Ladon will burn down the world to keep the mate he is unwilling to live without.
