“You and those pointy little sticks aren’t welcome here. You gettin’ that yet?”
He has no idea those “pointy sticks” are weapons—and she knows exactly how to use them.
When Abigail mysteriously inherits her dream cottage, she thinks her luck has finally turned. What she doesn’t expect is the brooding cowboy who apparently comes with the property—and his volcanic temper that could melt steel.
Fleeing a dangerous past, Abigail sees her unexpected inheritance as the perfect sanctuary. She’ll transform the ramshackle cottage into a cozy knitting haven where she can disappear into wool, needles, and the peaceful rhythm of creating something beautiful.
But Cade MacArthur owns every inch of land surrounding her new home, and this scorching-hot rancher considers the sharp-tongued city girl nothing more than a trespasser who’s invaded his territory.
What starts as a battle of wills ignites into something far more dangerous.
Every heated argument crackles with undeniable attraction. Every stolen glance threatens to combust. And when the deadly secrets Abigail thought she’d escaped come hunting for her, she’ll have to trust the one man who makes her burn—with her life, her future, and the heart she swore she’d never risk again.
Get ready for sizzling chemistry, laugh-out-loud banter, and a love story that will leave you breathless.

Dragon slaying isn’t for the faint of heart, but it suits Soleil Eldemyer just fine. Sure, the pay isn’t great, and the hazards are plentiful, but overall, things are going well for the mage…until Davyn and Lukas Greybrow walk back into her life.
My name is Soleil Eldemyer, and I’m a dragon slayer. It’s an unusual profession for a woman, but that doesn’t matter right now. You simply need to know that’s the reason Davyn and Lukas Greybrow find me tied to a sacrificial pyre in the middle of Hill Haven.
And who are Davyn and Lukas Greybrow? I’m surprised you don’t know—you must be the only ones in Kalae who don’t. They’re brothers, sons of a noble line, and possibly the most eligible men in all the kingdom. They’re also beast whisperers, known for their strange twin gifts, and the very last people a slayer wants showing up when she’s in the middle of a job.
Let’s just say things go awry.
So awry, in fact, I end up on their ship, looking for pirate treasure and suffering from a childhood love that should have been snuffed out long ago.
Oh, I forgot to mention I’m in love with Davyn? Well, I am. Or at least…I was. It’s complicated now, mostly thanks to Lukas. He’s the brother I never noticed—a friend and nothing more.
But, heaven help me, I’m noticing him now. His quick smiles and playful banter are confusing my heart—a dangerous distraction when we’re sailing into treacherous waters.
But I’ve gotten ahead of myself. Maybe I should start at the beginning…
