Can I really trust a dragon with my heart? When I show up in Black Claw with bruises on my face and a split lip, I’m not looking for another man - I’ve made enough bad choices in that department. I’m ready to lie low with my best friend and pray to god that my ex doesn’t come to find me. But Axel isn’t like any of the guys I’ve been drawn to before. I’m not ready for a new relationship. I know that. But Axel sneaks inside my heart before I’ve even realized he’s there, and his touch sets my body alight with desire. But still... there’s something off about him. And when I find out his secret, I’m not sure I can stand the heat. If my human ex was terrible, could a dragon be any better? He says it’s fate. Still -- I’m scared to risk my heart again. But when danger comes knocking, I know Axel’s the one I need to protect me. While "Her Dragon Protector" can definitely be read as a stand alone novel, this hot dragon shifter paranormal romance is best read as second in its series!
