He shouldn’t trust the woman sent to spy on him, but how can he resist his fated mate?

When Stefan Baudin’s mother was brutally ripped away from him by strange guards, he vowed to one day find her. He never expected that his quest would lead him to a hidden kingdom rumored to be a dragon stronghold, or that asking the wrong questions would land him in a dungeon with his dragon magically bound and at the mercy of a sadistic warrior. Beaten and bloody, it is the tender hands of the woman in the cell beside him that bring him comfort in the darkness.

So when her commander offers her dream job in exchange for spying on a prisoner, she jumps at the opportunity. But the sexy, intense man in the dungeon is no ordinary prisoner. Strength, power, and mystery surround him and with every interaction, Isabela feels an unexpected bond form between them, until she is forced to choose between her goal and helping him escape.

Drawn to each other in ways they can’t explain, Stefan and Isabela fight through dangers at every turn and face a powerful enemy who intends to hunt down his prisoner and strip them both of their magic, then take Isabela for his own.
