About this book

Nico is a dragon shifter with a serious temper and a job to do, but protecting Lake Forrester III was never supposed to get personal. Tasked by Drake Security to guard the wealthy, flamboyant socialite from a dangerous wolf-shifter stalker, Nico expects a routine assignment. Instead, he discovers that Lake is his fated mate, instantly shifting his professional duty into an all-consuming, primal need for protection.

This high-stakes paranormal romance masterfully blends intense pack dynamics with the thrill of a forbidden connection. As the son of a dragon, Nico is ready to declare war on any wolf who dares threaten his mate. Between hoarding blankets and jewelry to comfort his human and battling his own short fuse, Nico learns that keeping Lake safe is the ultimate test of his strength and his heart.

If you are craving a fast-paced shifter read packed with heat, found-family loyalty, and an alpha hero who will burn the world down for his mate, this is your next obsession. Dive into the world of Drake Security, where the stakes are high, the dragons are fierce, and the romance is scorching. It is time to feel the burn.

Nico and Lake

May 30, 2025

I loved this story. The characters are so lively. Nico starts out as a reluctant, barely communicative body guard for Lake who has an obsessive stalker. As he gets to know Lake he realizes he may have met his fated mate. Nico turns into such a sweet, romantic, possessive and protective person. Lake was lacking warmth and love. He finds it with Nico. A great love story. Looking forward to the other Drake brothers' stories. )

I also loved the Drakd brothers and can't wait to...

Low Angst, Easy HEA

May 24, 2024

I went into this book relatively blind but as a big fan of the fated mates trope, I had high hopes. In general the book was fine. It was entertaining and very low angst, making it an easy one day read. The main couple was cute and it was especially fun seeing Nico discover why his dragon has been hoarding fluffy blankets for centuries. The mystery and suspense aspect to the plot was relatively low angst as well and despite lasting throughout the entire book, felt like it was resolved quickly....
