Smolder — K.C. Stewart

Hailey is finally ready. After months of uncertainty, she is prepared to be mated to the man and the dragon she loved most in the world. There was just one problem, he hadn't asked her yet. Of course, that didn't mean he wasn't teasing her relentlessly. Dacea was getting down on one knee at every chance he had but the right question had yet to pass his lips. He has a plan, one Hailey is not privy too, and all of this was just for show until the day came that he would make her his mate.

Death does not wait for proposals. It comes in swift and takes away one of their own rattling everyone, but Dacea most of all. In the aftermath, he can't find the will to keep going forward with his plans. It will be up to Hailey to take charge and make an honest man out of him.
