Hidden Embers

Deep in the New Mexico desert is a secret race on the brink of extinction: the pure-blooded shape-shifters of the Dragonstar clan. And they have one last desperate hope for survival...

Quinn Maguire, healer of the Dragonstars, has been unable to cure the insidious disease killing off his people one by one. Yet even in such dire circumstances, Quinn can't bring himself to approve when the head of the clan enlists Dr. Jasmine Kane for help. She is female. She is an outsider. She is human.

Decked out in black leather and a tough attitude, Jasmine clashes with conservative Quinn in more ways than one. But when he realizes she's his destined mate, Quinn doesn't know whether to rejoice or rebel. While Jasmine makes him burn hotter than any woman ever has - dragon or human - their differences make a relationship impossible.

But when a rival clan infiltrates the Dragonstars, Jasmine becomes the first human infected with the disease. Now Quinn must do everything in his power to find a cure...before he loses the only woman he's ever loved.
