******************************************
“Will you protect me, and stand at my side when my husband discovers we’ve been having an affair?”
Dagger would never forget those words spoken to him two hundred years ago. It was the day Belinda died, and he became a werewolf. Unable to accept her death, he seeks the help of a Shaman who with the use of magic brings her spirit back to life. But her human spirit is not alone. She is reborn as a ShapeShifter with the ability to shift into both a werewolf and a Dragon.
Belinda does not remember Dagger, or their past, not even when he tempts her into his bed. Soon, she learns that the fire in her Dragon is no match for the fire between them.
Houlton Maine is a perfect breeding ground for werewolves. Braccus is the packs alpha male, and he rules them with an iron fist. However, his time on earth is running out. He needs the magic of Belinda’s Dragon to continue his reign. Dead or alive, she would be his.
Dagger is haunted by the Shaman’s warning. If Belinda doesn’t remember their past soon, they will die. He will not let Braccus have her, and he will not let them die. He relies on his love and their lovemaking to bring her back. Casual sex is not on his agenda…
Dagger and Belinda come together as man and woman to fight the one thing keeping them apart. Will their struggle for love eventually overcome the odds?

About the author
Diane Story
14 books68 followersDiane grew up in a small rustic mountain community in the beautiful California Sierras. She has eight sisters and one brother. Her love of romance novels started early on. And she always thought it was a wonderful gift, to lose herself in someone else’s version of life and love. And it was then that she knew that she would one day help transport someone else into a world of love and romance.
Nearly thirty two years, one husband, two kids and four grandbabies later, Diane finally sat down to her laptop and started writing. Her first manuscript still sits in a drawer unfinished, but it was the learning experience she needed to get going. One day she’ll finish it. Her second and third manuscripts were done within her first year of writing. The Overlanders Bride and Bewitching My Love were the result. Both manuscripts soon gained acceptance by her publisher ”Whiskey Creek Press” And in September of 2010, her third book “Desperate Hearts” is also scheduled for release with Whiskey Creek Press.
Her current projects are both paranormal romance novels. “Crystal Dreams” is now complete at aprox 77,000 words. And “A Pharaoh’s Kiss”” is in the works. Both of which Diane will be seeking representation.
After attending college in California in the early 80’s, Diane began a long career working in Medical Insurance. And now, after what seems a lifetime, She has been able to work on her goal as a romance novelist. Diane’s road to romance started in the 70’s, but her dream became a reality in the new millennium.
Diane is a member of the Romance Writers of America, and her local chapter.

Love has no boundaries, which is truly evident in this exciting love story between werewolf shifter Dagger, and dragon shifter Belinda. Dagger had promised to protect Belinda no matter the obstacles and when he failed measurably the first time, he vowed to make sure their second chance was different.
The relationship development between Dagger and Belinda was one that truly entertained me. I liked the twist of him remembering their past while she had no recognition of it. The plot technique allowed me to see the bloom of new love between lovers as well as the internal flames of long time lovers. The emotional and physical connection for Dagger is something that has been building over the centuries, while for Belinda it was a fresh feeling. It offered all of the stages of love, which many stories cannot do.
The conflict with Braccus truly kept the story moving forward. Every time Dagger and Belinda seemed to be making some headway, he threw them a curve ball. It added an element of surprise and danger to the story and made the plot line captivating. Braccus is everything I have come to expect from a villain: conniving, manipulative, and ruthless. It had me looking forward with anticipation to his next diabolical plot in the pursuit to gain ultimate power.
The paranormal element within this book was not a trivial contribution. As a person who enjoys all paranormal stories, especially shifters, my choosing to read this novella was a no-brainer. Toss in werewolves and a dragon, I found myself smiling for no reason other than amusement at their shifting abilities. While the tale could have been a good love story without it, the paranormal element really enhanced the story to a new level. Truly, I would recommend Dagger’s Lust to others who enjoy a nice paranormal short story.
