Calm before the Storm. Storm Reapers, #0.5

A dragon shifter on the run. A hunter with a conscience. A father willing to kill them all to save one. Lane is the granddaughter of a legend, but to the West Coast Dragon Den, she is now a target. With a traitor in their midst and the Den's security shattered, Lane is forced into the wilderness alongside two other shifters, fleeing the only home they've ever known. Her survival hangs by a thread until she crosses paths with Jeff Trails and his clan.
Jeff is a hunter-a man trained to track her kind-but he's a man with a code. In a world where they should be enemies, an unlikely alliance is born. The hunt, however, is far from business as usual. A powerful Council Leader is desperate to find a cure for his dying daughter, and he is convinced that Lane is the key to her miracle. He doesn't care about shifter laws or human lives; he will spill as much blood as necessary to save his own.
As Lane and Jeff flee the relentless pursuit, they realize the "calm" was only a mask for a brewing war. Their bond is forbidden, their enemies are closing in, and in the face of a father's obsession, no one is safe.
