Mere Passion

"Alara..." His heavy breaths made speech difficult. "You can't... I might..." She broke into a smile that could topple empires and bring monsters to their knees. "Of course you will."

Straight-laced dragon General Kai Nasu dreams of reviving his Empire's glory. Step one: conquer the Arctic mere habitat. But subduing the dolphin-shifting barbarians proves difficult when his human-form body starts breaking all the rules. Commander of the Island's Armed Forces, Princess Alara Skjelfjord plans to kick the haughty reptile's butt back to where he came from. But the dragon emissary is hotter than a lava tube, and much as she wants to get rid of him, she wants to ride him first. Alara inflames Kai's body but denies him her heart. It's only when Kai questions the very beliefs that made him that he can earn her love and become the dragon he was destined to be.
