Vaughn — Carole Mortimer

VAUGH (Russian Dragon Heat 2) is the second book in the Amazon #1 Russian Dragon Heat paranormal series.At only two hundred years old, Vaugh is the youngest of the seven Romanov dragon-shifter brothers. He almost died three months ago when he was unexpectedly attacked by a dragon hunter. Having previously been the most laid-back of the Romanov brothers the attack has changed him. He’s no longer the easy-going charmer he used to be but has become introspective and taciturn.It’s this newfound impatience which makes Vaughn reluctant to travel to London to act as bodyguard to one of Russia’s principal ballet dancers. He’ll go, of course, because none of his brothers are available to do so, but that doesn’t mean he has to like babysitting Anastasia Chenkova.Until he meets her and realizes she’s his fated mate.Anastasia had never set foot outside of Russia before embarking on this world tour three months ago with The Turov Ballet Company. It isn’t anything like she’d thought it would be. Their stays in different cities around the world are brief, and with the demands of rehearsals and performances there isn’t any time for her to visit some of the wonders of those cities she had previously only seen in photographs but had long dreamed of visiting.Worse, she has acquired a stalker, one who leaves gifts in her dressing room and hotel suite. How or when he manages to gain access, to the theatre or her hotel room, is a mystery. But the cards accompanying the flowers are becoming more and more demanding of her attention. The company director is concerned enough by them that he no longer considers their own security to be enough and has called in someone from outside.The blond-haired Vaughn Romanov is six and a half feet tall and ruggedly handsome, and in spite of his gruff nature, Anastasia find herself attracted to his good looks and all those defined muscles. It’s an attraction Vaughn doesn’t seem able to resist either.But Anastasia senses Vaughn is hiding something, she just has no idea it’s a secret that will change her previous perspective of the world and challenge every one of her dreams for the future.Russian Dragon Heat Series:VLADIMIR (Russian Dragon Heat 1)VAUGH (Russian Dragon Heat 2)ALEKSEY (Russian Dragon Heat 3)More to come in this seriesOther books by Carole Mortimer:Dance with the Devil - contemporary romanceMATTEO (Dance with the Devil 1)LEON (Dance with the Devil 2)KILLIAN (Dance with the Devil 3)JERICHO (Dance with the Devil 4)More to come in this seriesRegency Scandal:WANTON (Regency Scandal 1)WILD (Regency Scandal 2)More to come in this seriesRegency Men in Love – MM series written as C A MORTIMERHidden Lover (Regency Men in Love 1)Hidden Desire (Regency Men in Love 2)More to come in this seriesRegency Club Venus:Bastian’s Surrender (Regency Club Venus 1)Gabriel’s Torment (Regency Club Venus 2)Benedict’s Challenge (Regency Club Venus 3)Julius’s Passion (Regency Club Venus 4)James’s Lady (Regency Club Venus 5)This series is now complete.Steele Protectors:LOGAN (Steele Protectors 1)ATTICUS (Steele Protectors 2)BRYCE (Steele Protectors 3)ROURKE (Steele Protectors 4)HAYDN (Steele Protectors 5) Author’s 250th BookLUCAN (Steele Protectors)Series completeDragon Hearts Series – paranormalNATHANIEL (Dragon Hearts 1)DERYK (Dragon Hearts 2)BRYN (Dragon Hearts 3)DYLAN (Dragon Hearts 4)GRIGOR (Dragon Hearts 5)GARRETT (Dragon Hearts 6)AERAN & RHYS (Dragon Hearts 7)DRAGON REUNION (Dragon Hearts 8)Series now complete.Also Available:Regency Lovers Series – Bks 1-6ALPHA Series – Bks 1-8Regency Unlaced – Bks 1-9Regency Sinners – Bks 1-8Knight Security – Bks 0.5-6Carole Mortimer has written over 260 books.
