Bargaining with Beasts
Not yet published
Expected 15 Jun 27Dana Swift returns to the enchanting world of When Dealing With Dragons with a swoony new couple, fake-dating, coworkers-to-lovers, and even more intrigue!
It doesn’t matter what you do as long as you’re the best.
The Quinn family motto is you’re the best, or you’re nothing. That’s how they stay on top of Hardsill’s silver-crafting society. Unfortunately for middle daughter Teagan, she’s never been the best at anything, besides getting into trouble. So when poachers steal her dragon, she’s more than ready to bend the rules to save her dear animal’s life—and a boy with green eyes isn’t going to stop her.
Being held at knife-point by a pretty girl isn’t the worst thing that’s happened to Fin Barry. Not when he’s a ‘lowly’ iron-crafter parenting his little sister, paying off his grandfather’s debt, and working as a double-agent to end dragon poaching. When Teagan Quinn insists they go undercover and fake-date to find her dragon and destroy the worst poaching ring in Hardsill, it could be the answer to all his problems. As long as he can stop himself from falling in love. He knows the stakes of romance across metal classes far too well.
But Teagan and Fin can’t help blurring the lines between reality and the lie, even while the fallout of a society-shattering revelation crashes around them. Together, they’ll have to bargain beyond the old system, because it’s not just dragon lives at stake.
Bonding with dragons gave humans the ability to metal craft—now dragon-kind is in need of saving in the must-read Bargaining with Beasts.
