Carwyn wants to rid herself of her empathetic powers. The last thing she expects is to be torn away from her quest in the middle of the night by a dragon. He’s arrogant, sarcastic, and hates her kind after what they’ve done to ruin his family, but no amount of arguing can convince him to let her go. She must do as he demands. Yet she finds herself sympathetic to his plight. After losing most of his kin, Kier is determined to save his only remaining sibling. Despite his overwhelming power, he’s forced to swallow his pride and turn to a lowly witch for aid. He cares little for what becomes of her; she’s a means to an end. Then she does something no other has been able to do in decades: make him laugh... and awakens fierce, long-denied desire within him. Though passion blazes between them in a chaotic inferno, how can he convince Carwyn to stay when her abilities make touch without trust impossible?
