Practical accountant Sara Keegan questions her sanity when she is saved from a vicious attack by a man who has the ability to turn into a fire-breathing dragon and who believes her to be his destiny.

"It was one kiss...and it very nearly ended my life ... It's clear I can't have him, and not just because his evil overlord father hates my guts. My crush on Ryland is not my only secret. I'm hiding something bigger than that. It's the reason my dad left, and I am pretty sure it's why his 'magical' cult is now following me around. The only problem? Ryland has a secret too, and his just happens to have all the answers I need. Which brings us to that kiss..."--Cover.

The worry rolling off of him made me wrap my arms around him. “Babe, talk to me.” “It’s just a lot. Everything that just happened.” He chuckled. “Yeah.” “I’m pissed you lied to me. I’m pissed at Carey for blaming you for what happened. I’m scared of these powers I’m supposed to have. I’m confused because I love both of you and I don’t know how that works. And I’m sad because everything I thought I knew isn’t real and I don’t know what to focus on to stay grounded. I keep going from pissed, to scared, to confused, to sad…” “What are you right this second?” I took a second to think about it. “Safe.” It seemed it didn’t matter what life altering event I found myself in, I’d always feel safe in Ben’s arms. “If you need to feel grounded, you think of that. You think of me. I’m real. How I feel about you? That’s real. What we have is real. Carey? He’s real too. He might be acting like a dick right now, but that man adores you. That’s real.” I glanced up at him and he tucked the hair behind my ears. “We will figure out something to help you with your magic. We will find the bastard who killed Trini. Babe, it will be okay.” “How do you know?” I whispered. “Because the instant I saw Carey in that house, I was positive I was losing you forever, but I didn’t. You’re still here,” he whispered. “You’re still here and you’re still mine and I’ll be damned if I’m going to let anything mess that up.” Being a vigilante when your boyfriend is a cop? Never a good idea. Finding out magic exists and I'm half fire faerie? That's a twist I didn't see coming. Reading a letter I wrote to myself telling me my long lost best friend is actually my mate? Yep, that happened. Oh, but here’s the best part: having zero control over my powers? Well, that’s just icing on the cake. Now, if someone could explain to me how I’m supposed to navigate aforementioned revelations while catching the hunter killing off the people I love, that would be great, because the war isn’t coming. It’s already here…

The definitive book on The Station nightclub fire on the 10th anniversary of the disaster

When her world-changing invention is destroyed and her partner is murdered, scientist Alexandra Madison, plagued by recurring dragon-haunted nightmares, finds a protector in Donovan Shea, a shape-shifting dragon warrior who needs her help in ending the Pyr/Slayer war. Original

New York Times bestselling author Luanne Rice returns to Hubbard’s Point, Connecticut, and to characters from her beloved Beach Girls, to tell the haunting story of a close-knit community grappling with a heartbreaking mystery, and of a woman rebuilding her world and reclaiming a love she believed lost a lifetime ago. A face on a poster, a name in the news, an inexplicable tragedy. A promising young man goes out one warm summer evening and is found dead—murdered—less than twenty-four hours later. No motive. No clues. No answers. Most people reflect briefly on the disturbing headlines, perhaps say a silent prayer of safely removed sympathy, and go on with their lives. But what if the young man was your son? Or your true love? Nearly a year after the death of eighteen-year-old Charlie, singer-songwriter Sheridan Rosslare still hasn’t played a note of the music that was once her life’s passion. Tucked away in the beach house where she raised her only child, she lives with her memories of him and a grief too big to share even with her beloved sisters or her dear friend Stevie Moore. Nor can Stevie comfort Charlie’s heartbroken girlfriend, Nell Kilvert, whom she regards as a daughter. Nell won’t rest until she finds out what really happened to the boy she loved. Out of the past she summons a man she believes cares enough, and is tough enough, to uncover the truth—Sheridan’s long-ago soul mate, Gavin Dawson. Now Gavin’s boat, the Squire Toby, sits anchored in the harbor within sight of the window of the woman he once loved, still loves, and will always love. Sheridan, too, had once fervently believed in the miraculous power of love and healing, forgiveness, connection, and reconnection. But that faith died along with her son…. Unfolding among the Hubbard’s Point people and places that fans have come to treasure, and replete with feeling and mystery, Last Kiss weighs the power of the past to heal as well as wound, in a captivating tale of love, loss, and redemption that no reader will ever forget.

She doesn't believe in fate or the magic of the tarot-but when she's saved from a vicious attack by a man who has the ability to turn into a fire-breathing dragon, she questions whether she's losing her mind-or about to lose her heart... Quinn Tyrrell has long been distrustful of his fellow Pyr and a self-reliant loner. So when he feels the firestorm that signals his destined mate, he's determined to protect and possess Sara, regardless of the cost to himself. Then Sara's true destiny is revealed-and Quinn realizes he must risk everything- even Sara's love-to fulfill their entwined fates...
