Dragons are real. They live among us. But not for much longer.

Strong and powerful Grigori Barinov never thought his very existence could be erased by a mortal woman. But when she discovers proof of his magical bloodline, she threatens to expose him and the rest of the dragon shifters to the world in order to save her job.

He kidnaps the woman and carries her off to his lonely palace in Russia. He's prepared to do whatever it takes to stop her from going public with his fatal secret. He'll murder, manipulate, imprison. Anything. Except fall in love.
