When Henrietta's husband passed away, she didn't think she'd ever find love again. She especially didn't think she'd meet a younger dragon man who is sassy, charming, and completely head-over-heels for her. When a surprise storm traps Henrietta at Ryan's home, sparks begin to fly. But is she brave enough to love again? This is a short story set in the world of THE FABLESTONE CLAN and was originally published in the 2025 Writers on the River Annual Anthology.
