About This Book
A dying dragon prince who has lived five hundred years carries the weight of an ancient treaty and the memory of every woman his power has destroyed. When he pulls a mortal woman out of danger on a Seattle street, he doesn't save her out of kindness — he needs her. What unfolds is a slow-burn romance tangled in guilt, longing, and a world of immortals hidden just beneath the surface of the ordinary. The central tension isn't just will-they-won't-they; it's whether either of them can survive wanting something they believe they shouldn't have.
Alisa Woods writes paranormal romance with a tighter emotional focus than the genre often demands. The dual point of view keeps both leads fully realized rather than letting one serve merely as a foil for the other, and the pacing trusts readers to sit with tension rather than rushing toward resolution. The worldbuilding feels lived-in without drowning the story in exposition, and the prose stays clean and propulsive throughout. For readers who want their fantasy romance to carry genuine emotional stakes alongside the heat, this first installment delivers both.
