Publisher's Synopsis
Avery Harper hasn't dated in two years. After losing her fiance during his deployment, she chose to stay away from men and the games they play. That worked great until Jae Drachen. He overwhelms her senses from the moment she meets him. It has her wondering if love at first sight truly exists. The more time she spends with Jae, the more she believes it does. Jae wants Avery. He's built a corporate empire through years of all work and no play. That never bothered him until now. He's finally met a woman who makes him feel alive; he no longer wants to wait for his marked mate to appear. What he feels for Avery is stronger than what any mark could create for someone else. That all changes when another woman shows up. One who's dreamed of Jae and has a mate mark. He'll give up anything, including his dragon and long life, if it means keeping Avery. He'd sacrifice his life for her, but she loves him too much to let him destroy himself for her. She'd rather he be with someone else and living than dying because of her.
