Where Sleeping Dragons Lie (Dragon Shifters of Elysia Book 1) Jun 12, 2016

by Cristina Rayne

( 471 )

$0.00

She just wants answers to a mystery.
He thinks she’s the key to ending his exile in her world.
Love was never supposed to enter the equation…

It’s in her friend’s rare books shop that Briana Wright first sees Taron Hildebrand, a too-gorgeous-to-be-real twenty-something Englishman dressed for a night at the opera rather than an obscure shop in midtown. Already unnerved by his uncanny, orange-tinted eyes, her alarm skyrockets with Taron’s powerful reaction to seeing the old hand-bound book she is carrying that nearly has her racing to the exit. A find in her recently deceased grandmother’s collection, it was written in a strange alphabet that Briana is dying to decipher. No way is she going to sell it, even when Taron offers her an obscene amount of money.

However, when Taron confesses that he thinks the book may be an old family heirloom he’s been trying to locate for years and professes to be able to read it, Briana never imagines losing her life could be the cost of learning its secrets. An enemy is hunting Taron for the precious item he carries, and to secure her help, Taron will have to come clean about his dragon shifter identity, his true reason for wanting her book, and his suspicions of Briana’s own heritage if he has any hope of finding his way home again in a time when his people need the item he is protecting the most.

Their hearts were never supposed to be part of their deal…

Contains mature content, language, and hot dragon shifters.
This is a complete story with a HEA.

Love, angst, adventure, and a few steamy scenes await you in this first novel in the sequel series to the bestselling Elven King fantasy romance series.
**While it's not necessary to read the prior Elven King series books to enjoy this one, I would highly suggest reading at least Claimed by the Elven King for some back history on a few characters in this novel.**

She only noticed him that first day because of the rain.

Mia Hart knows she shouldn’t get involved, but when she sees a man standing dangerously close to the overflowing banks of a raging creek behind her apartment complex during a heavy downpour, there’s no way she can just ignore him. However, she never expects to be equally drawn to both the beautiful man who introduces himself with the unusual name of Thaylan as well as the mystery of why he has stood vigil over that same spot every day for years.

There’s four very good reasons why she has given up on finding love, but when the puzzle of Thaylan soon becomes more important than the mystery of his vigil, can Mia resist their growing attraction knowing that she’s risking something more dangerous than a broken heart, or will a shocking revelation related to Thaylan’s vigil lead to something amazing—or tragic?

Contains mature content and language plus men with pointy ears.

A new shifter romance series from New York Times & USA Today Bestselling author Cristina Rayne

**Previously published separately as #1 Transformation and #2 Revelation**

Kylie Moore has a secret, one she and her adoptive father have carefully guarded for over a decade since the night her parents disappeared. However, when she is randomly attacked one night in her apartment complex's parking lot, that one violent act sets in motion events that reveal not only her long-dormant shifter heritage in the worst possible way, but could also railroad her efforts of finding out what really happened to her parents.

Suddenly finding herself the center of attention among Riverford's shifter clans, Kylie's only hope of navigating such a dangerous minefield of politics and perpetual battles over territory is Hunter, a too-sexy-for-her-peace-of-mind jaguar shifter that might be her key to gaining insider access to the hidden and secretive shifter society.

Now Kylie must decide whether to integrate more deeply into Hunter's jaguar clan in order to take advantage of this rare opportunity or to run while her secret still remains uncovered. To stay would mean deliberately putting herself in more danger than Kylie may be prepared to handle, especially when Hunter, the person she must rely on, may be hiding something as well.

This book is part of a continuing story line woven throughout the series and is not meant to be read as a standalone.

Amber Davis will do anything for her young son, even something as crazy as beg a dragon for sanctuary from her abusive husband. All she needs to do is step foot on Elysia South soil and no one, not even the US government can touch her. Which is great because her husband is the son of a senator, and he has promised to see her dead and her parents ruined before he allows her to run off with their son.

Dragon shifter Raphek is patrolling near the energy shield at the edge of his kingdom when he witnesses a Terran woman and her child being hunted by several Terran men. He has no idea that saving them will set off perhaps the largest political bomb between his kingdom and the US that may trigger a war unless King Dagon gives over mother and child to the very man that has sworn to kill her.

Love should be the last thing on their minds, but neither one can deny the burning attraction that grows daily between them, not to mention the fierce protective instincts that all Draknos have for children that awakens within Raphek and won’t be ignored. Can Amber and Raphek find a solution to their impossible dilemma or will Amber have to submit to the demands of her husband’s powerful family for the sake of peace?

Contains mature content, language, and hot dragon shifters.

Sometimes, finding love is the easiest part. What's hard is when the government of your beloved says your love is illegal.

Lillian Miller’s plans for her weekend are to attend her sister’s (illegal) wedding in Elysia South with her family, hang out in a dragon city she’s been dying to see, and try not to get caught doing any of that because setting foot in any Draknos kingdom is against the law. However, when their guide into the kingdom, Airon, a dragon shifter spy currently living covertly in Dallas begins to pursue her romantically, Lillian suddenly has more things to worry about than getting arrested. While she is certainly attracted, she absolutely doesn’t want to give up her life and friends in Dallas, something that would inevitably have to happen in the current political climate where dragon shifters are still thought of as beasts. She also doesn’t want Airon to give up his home to live as something he’s not, especially when evidence of dragon hunters surfaces.

Can Lillian and Airon overcome what seems an unbreakable barrier of bureaucracy and xenophobia as well as their own personal hang-ups to find their happily ever after?

Contains mature content, language, and hot dragon shifters.

It’s raining men…sort of.

After waking up to a severe snowstorm, schoolteacher Emma Miller thinks the most exciting things she would do while snowed in at home are stream a few movies and sip hot chocolate. However, when a breaking news report of a sizeable island with unnatural structures suddenly appearing off the coast of England throws a wrench into her plans, she never dreams that shocking incident across the pond would repeat in Texas until a scorching hot—in more ways than one—dragon shifter crashes into her back yard, putting him at her mercy at a time when sheltering him could get her arrested.

Dragon shifter Sevek was warned over and over by the royal scholars not to fly too close to the ghostly city of another world that was currently bleeding into Elysia. Ignoring their warnings during one of his patrols, he consequently finds himself severely injured and trapped within the very alien world he has been obsessing over for centuries, forced to rely on Emma, a Terran woman whose sweet scent awakens desires he hasn’t felt in years. Princess Briana warned his people about the danger her home world’s governments would pose should they discover the existence of dragons, a danger he sees with his own eyes. It would be stupid to court a woman who could betray him to her leaders at any moment no matter how much Emma’s lovely blushes suggest she would be receptive to his advances. His priority should be getting home without exposing his dragon nature, not chasing after a potential mate he may not get to keep…

Two worlds collide in this thrilling and steamy paranormal romance adventure!

This edition is the complete collection of the Claimed by the Elven Brothers novella series.

#1 DECISION
It started with a dream—a dream of two pine trees with a dead branch fallen between them along the jogging path she often frequented, but when Megan Reyes is driven to seek out the place in reality to rid herself of what was quickly becoming an obsession, instead of the big fat nothing she expects to find, she discovers more than she bargains for when she steps between the pines and is confronted by a very familiar pointy-eared man she last saw in her dreams.
He and his brother have been waiting for her, and what they want will test how far she is willing to go to escape the dullness of her everyday life just for the chance to spice things up.

#2 FATE
After transitioning smoothly into the elven realm and settling into a routine of various social engagements and a newfound hobby, it's easy for Megan to forget that a pregnancy could soon throw her world into disarray. However, when months turn to years, she soon learns that the lack of a pregnancy can be equally as disruptive, especially when it's so easy to forget that not everyone is happy with her arrangement with Seren and Locien and tinkering with her memories is the least they are willing to do to ensure its failure.

This book contains a ménage scene, adult language, and is intended for mature readers.
