They are the Hidden.
Not quite human. Far from normal.
And never, ever safe . . .
After her father falls victim to a serial kidnapper, cunning Dragon shifter Lyra Slade is determined to rescue him. When she discovers a clue to his disappearance that leads her to a sexy but aloof stranger, she knows she shouldn't trust him to help her, but she's run out of options.
Archer Grant, a descendant of fallen angels, is reluctant to aid the beautiful dragon because her evidence implicates his own brother . . . But when his brother also goes missing, Archer must work with Lyra to uncover the truth. But even as a supernatural desire grows between angel and dragon, they are hunted by an evil force. Faced with the deadliest of dark magick, can even love save them?

DRAGON RISING excerpt
She and Archer skirted the dance floor, jam-packed with writhing, rubbing, sliding
bodies. He tugged her toward a vacant spot at the bar, where undulating colors lit the thick glass.
There were no available stools, just enough space for him to lean toward the female bartender
and ask if she’d seen either Anika or Jeremy.
She stared at him and then shook her head. “Another Caido? Wow, this club’s getting
interesting. I haven’t seen Jeremy in a few days, but Anika’s here somewhere.” She searched the
crowd. “I don’t see her at the moment.”
He ordered an absinthe, then turned to Lyra. “Drink?”
Definitely not an absinthe. “Cranberry and Absolut, please, dash of Tabasco.” He raised
his eyebrow at that. “Dragons have a thing for…hot and spicy.”
Did she see his mouth quirk? Probably not. Archer was anything but hot and spicy,
though she wondered what was beneath the surface. She tried to pay, but he put money on the
bar when the drinks arrived. He handed her the shorter glass and gripped his as he scanned the
people sitting at the bar.
Lyra looked for Anika, too, but was drawn again to watch the dance floor. The
sensuousness pulled at her, pulsing through her body with a song that was hard rock and
electronica at once. “Firestarter,” the singer rapped, oddly appropriate to how she felt. She
gulped half her drink and set it on the bar, her arm brushing Archer’s side.
She wanted to touch him. Knowing it was the Thrall didn’t quell her desire one bit. She
didn’t even realize she’d begun to move to the beat until her butt brushed against him. The music
was irresistible, too. She turned to him, nearly his height with her high heels, and moved close to
his ear. Unfortunately, that action pressed her breasts against his chest.
“Now I know why you looked so pained about coming here. Is this what it’s like, women
wanting to touch you all the time?”
He kept his gaze on the dance floor. “Everything about this is painful.”
“What is it that makes me—women—want to touch you? It’s beyond that you’re
gorgeous. It’s a compulsion.”
He leaned closer, his breath warm against her ear. “It’s our energy, the essence we carry
from our ancestors.”
His face was only inches from hers, the shimmer in his eyes pulling at her, making her
eyes heavy. “Are you mesmerizing me on purpose?”
He didn’t look away. “No.”
“I won’t touch you. I’m stronger than your pull.”
His mouth turned up in a soft smile.
