About this listen
They were drawn to one another by an attraction that neither could comprehend. Nor resist.
Holden has come to Earth as one of the last of his kind. Dedicated to raising one of the dragon babies left behind by his slain queen, he must acclimate to this strange new planet in order to succeed.
Humans prove to be odd creatures, but one blue-eyed beauty compels him in ways he’s never experienced. Their paths cross often, and he can barely keep his inner dragon in check when she’s nearby. The fierce need to protect her completely takes over, and he knows he must have her.
After a year of separation, Leah’s divorce from her cheating ex is final. She’s relieved, but finds the stress of everything has compromised her psychic abilities, which she relies on to keep a roof over her head.
She knows she just needs time, and pushing forward with her new life as a single woman sounds like the perfect solution. But when she keeps running into the same mysterious, gorgeous stranger, Leah’s plan to write off men proves to be harder than she thought.
With her reluctance to start a new relationship and Holden’s secret, will these two find a way to be together as fate intends them to be?
Please note: Steamy shifter scenes inside! Suitable for listeners 18 and above.

Story
Someone is stalking Audrey Young. And she has no idea why. Complicating matters is her landlord and new neighbor, Josiah Haven. She doesn’t usually go for the big, surly lumberjack type. But there’s something about that broody man. He intimidates her a little, but she kind of likes it. She could totally handle the mess that is her life, except the strange feeling of being watched is just the beginning. Next thing Audrey knows, she’s a target, and she doesn’t know who’s behind it or why. For Josiah Haven, none of that makes her his problem.

Story
My night club, The Dragon’s Den, is heaven on earth. For a dragon, that’s saying something. I have constant access to sin after delicious sin as well as a steady stream of women in my bed who are eager for me to corrupt them. I’ll admit, the baby someone left on my doorstep was unexpected. Likewise, the positive DNA test was damning, so I did what every dragon daddy in my position would do—I hired a nanny.

"Happily Ever After" wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. But when my husband of 20 years packs up and heads for greener pastures, and my son heads away to college, that's exactly what my midlife becomes. A do-over. This time, though, I plan to do things differently. Age is just a number, after all, and at 40 I'm ready to carve my own path. Eager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills.

The characters were well developed with a storyline that captured my heart.
To escape and lose so much but to find someone special to fill the void is a win win for me.
Meg Ripley knows how to capture the reader's attention along with making you want to come back for more.
Well written and extremely enjoyable.
Almost forgot to mention that I listened to this book on audible books and it was very well done.
