Sky Shielder

He helped destroy her family. Now he wants to protect her. Dare she trust him?

For generations, magical sky shields have defended the Garden Kingdom from dragons and their savage riders. Now, the shield protecting the capital has been sabotaged, the castle destroyed, and all except the youngest member of the royal family slain.

A healer with a love for books, antiques, and avoiding family gatherings, Princess Syla never thought the future of the kingdom would rely upon her—or that assassins would be hunting her down. With only an aged bodyguard with bad knees to protect her, she’s in way over her head.

Then he shows up.

The powerful and deadly dragon rider Captain Vorik claims to be from a faction that wants peace, not war, and who opposed the attack. Supposedly, he and his dragon ally were sent to protect Syla.

With threats coming from all directions, she has no choice but to accept his help, but she doesn’t trust him—or her attraction to him.

Why is he really there? To kill her? To spy on her? To seduce her?

All Syla knows for certain is that she must get the best of Vorik before he can get the best of her. Her kingdom and her life depend on it.

Warning: Sky Shielder contains sex, violence, and arrogant and opinionated dragons.
