Fire Dragon by Caris Roane

Lost in his solitary life, dragon warrior Liam Holden avoids the woman he craves until she’s assigned as his exclusive battle partner…

Liam Holden regrets his one-nighter with dragon-rider Emma Brier. He thought the experience would rid him of the cravings he felt for the fledgling warrior. Instead, the minute she walks into a room, he forces himself to walk out because he still wants the woman bad. But a relationship with Emma is the last thing he needs, not when the evil Magi dragons are turning up the heat and threatening to take over their world.

Emma Brier fell hard for Liam the night they ended up together. The twelve long months in-between hasn’t dimmed her desire for the extraordinary dragon-shifter either. But eighteen years prior, Commander Holden, a first-tier dragon and famous for his exploits as a warrior, lost his wife to a devastating birth. Since then he’s been about as open to a relationship as a heat-loving dragon wanting to fly through hail. Not gonna happen. Still, her heart skips a beat every time the man enters a room. Worse, how will she ever get over him now that she’ll be partnering with him in battle?
