Platinum by Terry Bolryder

A Dragon as a pretend husband? Tempting…

Sever, the Platinum dragon, stood by as his friends found mates. With Gold and Silver gone, he’s left with only haunting memories of betrayal and a future uncertain as the sea. But when a woman writes Date-A-Dragon asking for help with a unique situation, Sever feels something awakening in him that was long dead. Perhaps he can protect someone once again. Perhaps he can at least be needed. But Sever doesn’t know that fate has something unexpected in store for the doubting dragon.

Lori Ridgeway’s life has been turned upside down in a matter of months. The death of a long-time friend has left her with a growing boy in need of a family and a small ranch in the middle of nowhere. To make things worse, the locals in her new town are more than a little hostile to a woman living alone. Her only hope lies in a mysterious man who agrees to help, storming into her life like something from a Viking fantasy, igniting her every desire.

Sever realizes almost immediately that his pretend wife is actually his true mate. Now he just has to figure out how to tell her he’s a dragon and she’s his. Meanwhile the tension between Lori and the locals is escalating, and unfriendly neighbors aren’t the most dangerous things hiding in the woods of Cate’s Creek.
