Synopsis
Dragon-warrior Venom lives in
self-imposed isolation. Cursed by his toxic touch, he is deadly to
anyone who has contact with him for too long. Set apart from others and
hounded by intense loneliness, he craves the lasting connection he
believes he cannot possess. Until a chance encounter with a sultry
mortal offers a ray of hope…
Evelyn Foxe is the woman of Venom’s every desire, but she’s too busy running from the Russian mob to think about love. As she accepts Venom’s offer to help her escape her precarious situation, she’s skeptical, afraid that he’s in league with those sent to harm her. But when a biological weapon is unleashed in her hometown, Evelyn is forced to trust Venom—or risk the dangers of going it alone.
Will they survive the firestorm that rages around them? And can they pull from the ashes a love that will defy all the odds and last through the ages?

Excerpt
Instinct whispered in her ear, plying her with suspicion. She frowned. What was his game? He must be running one. Venom wasn’t stupid. Far from it. Which meant he must’ve known. Must’ve guessed what would happen— that he wouldn’t be able to hide his scalier side from her forever.
Or maybe he’d simply planned on lying to her . . . ad infinitum.
The thought tugged at her temper. An odd reaction. Not at all warranted. She didn’t own the right to be pissed off at him. Anger didn’t belong in the equation. She’d planned to use him for money. He’d wanted her for sex. A simple exchange. No fuss. No muss. And yet, the idea of him being dishonest with her woke something primal. Something dangerous. Something that shoved her toward the truth. The thought of Venom lying to her more than bothered her. It infuriated her, violated her sense of . . . of . . . well, she didn’t know exactly. Right and wrong? Her sense of self-worth? A healthy dose of pride, maybe? No clue. But whatever the catalyst, it lit the fuse, setting moral indignation on fire, tipping the balance, making her throw caution to the wind.
Eyes narrowed, she scowled up at him. “Venom.”
“Almost there, mazleiha.”
“Where are we going?”
“Somewhere safe.”
“Will your dragon friends be there?”
Her clipped tone made him glance down. She glared at him.
A wary light entered his eyes. “No. It’ll just be you and me for a while.”
“Good,” she said, hot sauce in her tone. “We need to talk.”
“You gonna take it easy on me?”
“No.”
He grimaced. “That’s what I thought.”
