Determination and the Dragon by Sloane Meyers

Dragons, dark magic, and determination…

Wizard Advocate Harlow Watkins is determined to show the people of Falcon Cross that she’s got what it takes to turn things around in the war that’s ravaging their clan. With brains and beauty that far surpass all the wizards around her, she’s on the fast track to success. So it’s no surprise to her when she’s given a mission that, if successful, will allow her clan to take the lead in the search for the dragon amethyst—which they must find to win the war. The only problem? Her obnoxious coworker, Myles Pars, is going with her. Sure, he’s smart and sexy. But she can handle things just fine on her own, thank you. Harlow does her best to ignore him, but she soon finds out that’s hard to do when she’s alone with him in the trenches. Despite her best efforts to convince herself otherwise, she finds herself falling for him. And despite her insistence that she doesn’t need anyone, she might need Myles to save her life before all is said and done.

Dragon shifter Myles Pars is known in his clan as the “easygoing” dragon. He’s friendly, and gets along well with everyone. Until Harlow. When he’s forced to work together with the most stubborn woman he’s ever met, he finds that even his extraordinary limits of patience are tested. But is it really her stubbornness that’s driving him crazy, or her beauty? He can’t figure out why he can’t get her out of his head, and when she’s sent on a mission into the heart of enemy territory, he’s sure as hell going with her. He knows she needs him to protect her. He just didn’t realize that he needs her, too.

Will Harlow trust Myles with the truth about the tough façade she hides behind? And can Myles save her from herself before it’s too late?
