Dragon Paranormal Romance

Bestselling author Candace Ayers brings you SHORT "lunchtime quickie" reads—condensed romances intended to be read in under 2 hours! Love is blind...and apparently pretty hairy Love robbed me of everything. The public scandal stole my pride, my joy, and my self-worth. Grotto offers me a fresh start. An underground city full of Sasquatches? Why not? Then, along comes Olwydd—an 8 foot tall, growly beast who is completely smitten by me. Or so he says. But after my past, men who come on too strong make me nervous and trust is dirty word. I wish he’d back off and leave me alone. I think. ...

I’ve been abandoned by every man in my life—except for one. He arrived at the outskirts of Riviana Star just in time, and not only saved me, but the people I’ve come to consider my own. He pledged to be at my side always—and made me make the same promise in return. My heart can’t hold onto the anger and resentment a moment longer—not when I want this man for the rest of my life.

She’s been in love with Jude for as long as she can remember and when he suddenly starts paying attention to her, she doesn’t know what to do.

My fortune’s been down, lately. Right until I met the dragon shifter. My family’s not well off. They’re the nicest people you’ll ever meet, but a lot of bad luck fell on them. They try their best though, and I want to help them. For me, that means risking it all. Going into the fight pits. A forbidden place of supernaturals, feral fighters, and people like me betting on the outcomes. A place normally off limits to humans. One person catches my eye. One name among the others. An alpha fighter with a cursed form, with a craving to win fights. A man with a heart of gold lurking under ...

For months, I've been chased by a red dragon. They're the females of the dragon shifter invaders, fierce and vicious and as ruthless as they are wild. She hunts me wherever I go, and I'm not safe even behind the walls of a fort. There's only one thing I can do to stop her...and that's to take her as my mate. But to win the heart of a female dragon, I have to conquer her first. Not so easy for a human man...but Teva's worth the challenge.

Just when alpha dragon Jermon thought he’d found the two men he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, everything came crashing down. Literally. The guilt about bringing trouble to the Hightower pack is real, but Jermon has bigger problems. Wilmer has no recollection of Jermon and Riordan, and his recovery is slow. Meanwhile, Riordan is acting weird. Is it the stress that’s getting to him? Or is something else going on? When the Murphys aren't the saviors they appeared to be and Jermon learns more about his magic, he knows what to do.

I flirted with a dragon shifter at a wedding, and it accidentally started a magical, miserable mating process between us. It's technically my fault, but we're not focusing on that. Now, we have to figure out how to fight the magic pushing us together. Or… we have to embrace the bond. But neither of us knows a thing about relationships, so the odds of success? They're not looking great for us. I have to figure out what to do about the bond—and fast. Because the more time passes, the worse my pain is going to get…and the less control Jasper will have over his beastly side.

My heart's already been broken by one Dragon King; I won't let it happen with another. I'm Commander of the Castle Guard, responsible for the security of the Royal Castle and therefore, in part, the Dragon King of Levahan. The new one. I signed up to serve the last Dragon King, and lost my heart to him. Even now, after he left me for his mate, I still love Belyss. I don't agree with the way he was pushed off the throne or how readily he went. I understand why he did it, but I like the way his dread let it happen. And I certainly don't want to like his replacement. But I do. Too much. King ...

I didn't even like the man whose life I saved. Kardri Vangrarre is my warlord; I serve as a captain in his army—the Leopard Army. I respect him, and even admire him, but I don't like him. At all. He's vain, arrogant, and way too public with his abundant love life. In fact, he was right in the middle of one of his freaky, public orgies when we were attacked. I acted purely on instinct when I pushed him out of the way. I had no idea that I'd get hit instead, or that the green fireball would kill me. The Leopard Lord didn't have to save my life just because I saved his, but that's what he ...

You should never make a dragon angry. I’ve always put myself on the line to help the little guy. But, this time my actions pissed off the wrong dragon. My little scheme has cost him a lot of money. He wants revenge. He tracked me down. I should be scared, but I’m not backing down. I see the way he looks at me. I know he feels the same carnal attraction. He wants a lot more than revenge when we finally come face to face. And I want to give it to him. As much as I don’t want to admit it, I’m falling for him. However, now an even bigger danger is threatening my life. Is this all part ...

Olivia Harris is recovering from a nightmare. Most days she’s certain she will never be mentally healthy enough to rejoin the human race. Suffering from PTSD and experiencing severe anxiety attacks, she returns to her native Alaska to live in semi-seclusion in the little cabin she inherited from her father. Tucker Sterling struggles with a restless, unsettled bear that he is unable to tame. Nothing soothes his bear, not the six years he spent in the army’s Delta Force unit, not the multitude of nameless, faceless, women who share his bed, nothing—until Liv Harris returns to Port Ursa....

After barely surviving the dragon crown test, I wake up in the desert at the mercy of the dragon riders and their brutal commander. They come for me, my dragon kings, even when I didn't expect them to get out alive. The dragon kings make an uneasy alliance with the dragon riders, both with a common goal to stop the sorcerer before he gets too powerful. But they have secrets, and they won't tell me any of them.

My sadistic mother and god-fearing father believe I have the devil inside of me because I heal after their abuse. I accepted long ago I would die in the very place I'd been born without ever feeling the sun on my skin. Then, one day, my mother took me from my father's religious cult in the wake of his death. Nearly a week later, and after countless hours with her boyfriend Jed's creepy remarks, I find myself in Washington State. I had only ever interacted with my parents and now Jed, so you can imagine my surprise when I ran smack dab into possibly the most handsome man in the world.

When Armand meets Angel, he knows she's not his mate. She can't be - she's pregnant with another male's child. Yet, no female has ever claimed his heart as she has. Angel of Death is cursed. Everyone around her dies. The trick, she's learned, is to never get close to anyone. Damned if she hasn’t screwed that up, and her screwup may endanger the lives of the two people she cares for the most - the man she's trying desperately not to fall in love with, and her own newborn daughter.

Strap in, ‘cause it’s a wild ride through Destiny, or should I say Middle Earth… Not long ago, Sheriff Jack Lang would have sworn there were no such things as vampires, storm witches (Tempestaeries), djinn or dragons. That was before he met Tempest Pomeroy, his sexy redheaded mail lady and trouble magnet. He’d fallen for her before he found out about her special abilities. But that wasn’t what turned his life upside down. His transformation into a supernatural being… Yep, that did it. Tempe had feared her supernatural nature would be a problem for Jack, who’d mistaken Destiny ...
