I never expected my undercover FBI mission to end with scales and a mate...

I came to Greenrock hunting a cult, not a lover. My sister fell victim to manipulators before—I won't let it happen to others. When I crash into a mountain of a man with burning amber eyes, my body betrays me. Something primal awakens inside me whenever he's near.

I'm supposed to be "Lucy Watkins," harmless furry enthusiast with a gecko persona. He laughs at my "little lizard" choice while working the cult's front desk. If only he knew what I'm capable of when pushed.

My investigation leads me somewhere I never expected—to become his captive. In a flash I'm locked in a cabin by the most infuriating, devastatingly sexy man I've ever met.

My dreams fill with dragons and flight and his burning touch against my skin. When weird things start going more than just bump in the night, I know I'm in trouble.

I'm not who I thought I was. And he's definitely not human.

Now we're facing an alien invasion, and apparently, I'm his destined dragon mate. But he still hasn't seen what happens when this "gecko" breathes fire.

This is steamy paranormal romance suitable for 18+ readers only and features tropes of Fated Mates, Fish out of water, Enemies to Lovers, Forbidden Romance, Secret Identity and Alpha Protector, to name a few.

What Risingshadow readers think about this book

10/10

This is the fifth book in the Dream Team Shifters series but was the first I had read and I was able to follow along with the storyline fine and backstory was provided about other characters featured more strongly in the previous books although I am sure it is better if you have read them. I really enjoyed getting to know Alex and Jane in this book and thought the two of them worked well together once they finally accepted their connection. The other characters were all entertaining and the plot moved at a good pace. The epilogue was also really enjoyable.
