Bound By Fire. Fated Bonds and Brides, #1

?? A forgotten spell. A sleeping king. A love worth risking everything for. ??When archivist Neeve opens a forgotten book, she awakens the last true dragon king. Evander has spent centuries trapped beneath an ancient curse. Now he's free-but the magic that imprisoned him has bound itself to Neeve. Unless she agrees to an ancient marriage ritual, she'll be lost to an endless dream. Falling for him was never part of the bargain.
Fierce, clever, and impossible to ignore, Neeve quickly becomes more than Evander's salvation. She becomes the one thing he cannot lose. But breaking the curse comes at a price. Beyond the barrier imprisoning dragonkind, Evander's people are dying. If he and Neeve fail, an entire race will perish. If they succeed, dragons will return to a world that fears them-and Neeve will be branded a traitor by the supernatural agency she once swore to serve.
As danger closes in and their bond deepens, Neeve must choose between the life she's always known and the dragon king fate has written into her soul. Bound By Fire is a slow-burn, closed-door paranormal romance featuring a dragon king hero, fated mates, forbidden love, ancient magic, and high-stakes adventure.
