I knew two things about her before she said a word to me.
I didn'''t tell her either one.
One of them she’d have laughed at. The other would have shattered her.
She’s a dragon of an old line, and she’ll tell you so herself.
Her mother sold her for it — worth more as a bloodline than as a daughter.
She still thinks her people are coming to save her.
They are coming. That’s the problem.
Not to take her home. To take her back.
I found her on the road with nothing.
I took her north, because my land is the only place they can’t take her from.
She hates it here. No servants. Cold water. Food she won’t touch.
And a bear for company — she tells me that’s the worst part.
I told her once she could leave. She stayed. I didn’t ask why.
She’s decided that means I’m too slow to argue.
I let her think it.
Keeping her safe is more important than her opinion of me.
They find her anyway.
Her family sends a lawyer first. The papers are in order, and the signature is her mother’s.
The man who bought her won’t bother with a lawyer.
He paid for her. He means to collect.
He has men. He has standing.
Let him come.
She knows why she can’t go back.
She doesn’t know why I want her to stay.
Claimed from Fire is the seventeenth steamy installment in the DRAGONBLOOD DYNASTY series, a paranormal romance between a proud dragon heroine and the bear shifter who takes her in. Expect forced proximity, fated mates, clashing worlds, and touch-her-and-die devotion. Perfect for fans of J.R. Ward, Christine Feehan, and Nalini Singh.
