Tarragon Shadows — Elizabeth James

In Tarragon Shadows, the villain Ashton has been killed and the campus is freed from his influence - or is it? His death has unlocked a powerful man known as the Elder who seeks revenge for Ashton's death and has his sights set on Jamie, partnered to a Queen dragon and in command of Tarragon Academy. But there is a new school now, and it is ruled by Ashton's son, Derek, who finds himself teetering on the brink of becoming another villain or choosing his own path. Either way, he is determined to claim Jamie's boyfriend as his own and the Elder may offer a way to ensure this. Will Derek follow in Ashton's footsteps, or will he stay true to himself and find his own solutions to the problems he faces? Content warning: explicit MM sexual content
