The Captain’s Dragon by Bianca D’Arc

Right man… right time…

Captain Liam O’Dare finds himself talking with a sea dragon. Not just any sea dragon, but the lord of them all, Skelaroth. The sea dragon brings information and a request to aid in Liam’s decades-long quest to bring the pirate Fisk to justice. Not only is Fisk a murderer many times over, but now he’s stolen a dangerous artifact that could unbalance the entire world. It must be retrieved at any cost. With the mighty sea dragon trailing the wake of his ship, Liam sets out on the pirate’s trail.

Right woman… right man…

Lady Rivka of the Black Dragon Clan, Jinn warrior and huntress, sets out after the pirate, but she’s not a sailor and she needs a cunning seaman with a fast ship to follow where Fisk has gone. Landing on Liam’s ship in her compact black dragon form surprises him, but there’s no other way but to reveal her shapeshifting secret. She gives him the information she has and he agrees to have her help on his quest.

Liam is stunned by the dragon who turns into one of the most compelling women he’s ever seen. She is fierce and no-nonsense when it comes to her quest. He likes that and knows he can work with her. But can he resist the temptation of her? He’s been true to the memory of his late wife for a very long time, but Rivka gets under his skin from almost the first moment he becomes aware of her amazing secret ability to shift from dragon to woman and back again.

A recipe for triumph… or disaster…

When the chase leads from the sea to the land, Liam, Rivka and Skelaroth set out to track the pirate by air. Rivka has the skills, Skelaroth has the strength and Liam knows their prey like no other. Together, they are unstoppable – until they come face to face with evil magic being used against them. In the final battle, it will take all three of them – plus the help of a mysterious virkin friend. Will they prevail? Will Liam find his justice and the missing artifact? And will Liam and Rivka have a chance at a future of love and joy? Or, will it all turn to fiery dragon ash before their very eyes?
