A stubborn witch. A rare red dragon. A bond he refuses to believe… and a love no one can control.

Quill:
I don’t chase legends—I chase mileage. Cross-country practice at dawn, classes, keep my head down, graduate, and then run the family business. That’s the plan. Then Aeron Pyre arrives at Widdershins. He’s a red dragon shifter—almost myth, definitely trouble—and the entire academy loses its mind. Professors court him. Covens circle. Half the student body wants a piece of the story.
I want nothing to do with him.
Which only makes him notice me more. He shows up on my running route, in my study groups, at the edge of every room I enter like we’re inexplicably drawn together. He says we’re fated mates. I say I don’t date cocky idiots. But every time he closes the distance, my magic flares and it’s infuriating, undeniable, and terrifying.


Aeron:
Dragons choose once. I’m young, single, and planning to keep it that way. Then one breath of Quill Aster and my entire world is turned upside down. He thinks this is ego. It isn’t. It’s certainty.
The academy treats me like a prize. The covens want alliances. Hunters outside the wards want a trophy. Quill is the only one who doesn’t want anything from me—and that’s how I know he’s the one. Winning him means patience when others would posture, restraint when my temper says otherwise, and shielding him when people try to use him to get to me.


When rivalry turns to something neither of us can shrug off and one rule broken is all it takes, the academy intervenes. We must keep our distance or face expulsion. But conspirators don’t stop, and danger finds the quiet path Quill runs at dawn. To survive, he has to trust the bond he doesn’t want, and I have to prove I’m more than a legend everyone else is chasing.

Heartflame is a dark, high-heat academy romance—enemies to lovers, fated mates, obsessive pursuit, and a forbidden connection strong enough to defy a campus full of politics and fear. Perfect for readers who crave sharp banter, protective instincts, and a final-book payoff that leaves no doubt: this love goes the distance.
