He claimed her to protect her. He didn’t expect to want her.
November Lachlan, the human female freed from a slaver ship, wasn’t meant to walk free. She holds the key to exposing a powerful alien prince. But before she can testify… someone wants her silenced.
Rhaezon’s solution is simple. Effective. A marriage of convenience.
The dragon-shifter binds her to him with a legal fiction that places her under his protection… and in his home.
His estate is cold. Controlled. Untouchable. Like him.
But November sees in Rhaezon what others don’t. Not the scars. Not the monster. Not the weapon. She sees him.
And the more time they spend in close quarters, the harder it becomes to remember this was never meant to be real.
Rhaezon’s mate bond is awakening. A quiet, consuming pull he can’t ignore… and can’t control. It builds with every moment she’s near. Biological. Irreversible. Dangerous.
And when it claims November… there will be no going back.
He can’t deny the bond building between them. But claiming her might damn them both.
