Persuading the Dragon — Jessie Donovan

STONEFIRE DRAGONS BOOK 12
Nearly a year ago, a human female showed up on Stonefire's land carrying a flash drive full of information stolen from the Dragon Knights. However, before Zain Kinsella could interrogate her, she soon fell into a coma and hasn't awoken since. His initial anger fades and he starts to wonder if the thin, pale girl would ever wake again. When she does, it's up to him to help guard her and make her strong enough to face some questioning. He most definitely shouldn't notice her delicious heat or the sadness in her eyes. She's their prisoner, and can be nothing more.

Ivy Passmore finds herself inside a dragon-shifter's hospital, bedridden and barely able to sit up. Despite the overwhelming grief at the death of her brother, she's determined to do everything she can to atone for her part in helping the Dragon Knights and causing her brother's murder. She's more than ready to tell the dragons everything. Soon one tall, quiet Protector makes a deal -- she endures his physical therapy and he'll help track down her brother's killers. Ivy has no choice but to agree and slowly her idea of dragon-shifters changes, especially around one certain dragonman.

As two former enemies morph into something more, the Department of Dragon Affairs finds out about Ivy and demands she be surrendered. Will Zain do his duty and hand her over? Or, will they be able to find a way to be together?

Full-length story with a happy ending.
