Ty Cameron, a.k.a. Perseus of Rhodes, was as bad as any dragonslayer and maybe even more. While sparring with his best friend Saxton Lance, a.k.a. Apollo, he feels the ghost of a sensual kiss on his cheek, a sign that his Omega, the keeper of his soul, is near. Engaging with his Omega pulls him away from Winterborne Keep and through the waters around the English coast. He washes along the shores of Colmthorpe, a town that despises dragons. While gathering the townsfolk to help him search for his Omega, he happens upon a lagoon deep in the forest and sees a woman that has him aching to make her his. Lia Deveraux had not intended to stay away from her home for a long time. However, that was just what she did when a dragonslayer sank his axes into her. She believes she has met her end until wakes up inside the home of a hermit who nurses her to health. Lia knows she has to make her escape sooner rather than later. But the appeal of living among humans is strong. When she meets a handsome stranger that even her dragon approves of, the pull of being in his arms and falling for him is even stronger. Lia has the gift of insight – she sees other people’s futures but not her own until she meets Ty Cameron. When she finally has the courage to leave the man she has fallen for, someone who knows who she really is betrays her.
How can anything come out of the passion Lia and Ty have for each other when their relationship is doomed from the start?
