Series Note: Although part of the Department 57 series, this title can be read on its own.

Nicole is a gossip columnist. All she wants is a good story, but when she confronts Dominici Serafino at his luxury Italian villa, she get far more than that. An afternoon of sizzling passion leads to danger when they are kidnapped by an organization intent on revealing Dominici as a shape-shifting dragon. And he is, he really is that mythical creature, who sometimes shape-shifts during sex. Their captors want Dominici and Nicole to perform for the cameras. And that makes Nicole wet even to think about. What's wrong with her?

And what's a dragon to do? Dominici finds sex with the gorgeous erstwhile journalist turning to something far more intense. He has to protect Nicole from their enemies, and he doesn't even know if he can trust her. In a position that gives him access to juicy stories from the world's most talked-about celebrities, he needs to keep their secrets and his own if he wants to survive.

Despite the danger, he still wants her, any way, every day. For keeps.
