CALLING FIRE
paranormal romance
Anaea Salis’s battle with cancer is over and the only thing left in her control is how she dies: wasting away or quickly. Alienated from friends and family by a husband who cheated on her when she fell ill, there is no one who will miss her. But her suicide is thwarted by Hunter–a centuries-old dragon spirit–who is viciously attacked and forced to transfer into her body.
Hunter should have known helping the woman was going to be trouble since humans were responsible for destroying his dragon-body, but he couldn’t stand by and let her throw away a perfectly good life. With his body too injured, he’d had no choice but to transfer into her and now all he wants is to get out. But whoever is trying to kill him is now after her, and being the Dragon Prince’s Assassin, the list of those who want him dead is long–including his Prince.
Reluctantly, Anaea agrees to help–if only to get rid of him. With his domineering and far too sexy personality threatening to overwhelm her, she plunges into the dangerous world of dragons and soon finds more than just her life on the line.
