What Aries wants, Aries takes!A secret society of dragon killers...From the beginning, dragons have lived among humans, inspiring creativity, innovation, and sometimes revolution. Sent from the stars by the creator, the dragon race thrived until a wealthy medieval nobleman learned their secret. In an effort to protect his riches and position, he formed the Saints Order, a secret society fueled by dark magic and founded on the tenet of eradicating all dragons.A Zodiac dragon warrior sworn to defend his kind...Connor is an Aries dragon and member of the Zodiac Brotherhood, a band of twelve warriors charged with defending their race. Thanks to the sacrifice of one brother over fifty years ago, dragons have enjoyed a period of peace under an accord with the Saint's Order. But when a civilian is brutally murdered in front of the Fontaine Saint-Michel, it's clear that the Order is rising once more.A mating bond that is one hell of an inconvenience...Desperate to protect his people, avoid war, and force the Saint's Order back to the negotiations table, Connor kidnaps the Order grandmaster's fiancée, washed-up novelist Fiona. But the order isn't interested in peace talks. Worse, Connor's inner dragon has chosen Fiona as his mate.
