Embers of the Heart by Emmalyn McIver

Can the flames of their passion burn through the walls they’ve built around their hearts?

Brenton Drake is the last of his kind, the legendary Fire Dragon. After his three brothers left him alone in the mortal world, the flames of Brenton’s passion slowly flickered out. Living secluded in an empty mansion, he knows that nothing in the world can interest him, tempt him, or awaken the dormant dragon inside him–until a seer’s prophecy leads him to the door of a human woman. She’s brash. She’s not scared of him. She’s disturbingly mortal.

So why is his dragon so drawn to her?

Vivian Ansley is a hotheaded bartender with no roots and no place to call home. Orphaned at age eleven, tossed from foster family to foster family, Vivian learned the hard way to rely on no one but herself. When a group of crazy cultists attack her in her own apartment, Vivian’s world is turned asunder as she learns about the existence of witches, werewolves, and dragons–like Brenton. He’s arrogant. He’s condescending. He’s disturbingly inhuman.

So why can’t she stop thinking about him?

Together, Brenton and Vivian will have to solve the mysteries of what the cult wants with Vivian and exactly how her destiny connects to Brenton’s.
After all, the fate of dragonkind–and both their hearts–hangs in the balance.
