He’s Out of the Highlands and on the Prowl...
Regina
Talbot-Jones has always known her rambling family home was haunted.
She’s also aware her brother has invited one of his friends to attend an
ill-conceived séance. She didn’t count on that friend being so
handsome…and she certainly didn’t expect him to be a dragon.
Younger
son of a family of shapeshifting dragons, Highlander Colin MacAlasdair
has lived a life free of both family duty and mortal cares. Moving in
and out of human society as he wishes, he takes very little
seriously—until Regina drops onto his balcony one midnight, catching his
attention and his interest. She’s like no mortal he’s ever met, and no
matter how hard he tries, he can’t seem to get her out of his head.
Bound
by circumstance, drawn by the fire awakening inside of them, Colin and
Regina must work together to defeat a vengeful spirit—and discover
whether their growing love is powerful enough to defy convention.

An Excerpt:
Over
the course of his life, Colin had been alone with young ladies in a
variety of places: featherbeds, haystacks, and even the occasional
riverbank in pleasant weather. Dusty attics had never featured. Yet
these places also had never featured Reggie, with her dancing eyes and
her hair falling down around her shoulders.
“You’ve
got a bit of cobweb,” he said, noticing the strands at her temple. He
knelt down and reached out. “Hold still. And, er, brace yourself.”
She
closed her eyes and waited, patient for once in their brief
acquaintance. Colin brushed his fingers over her temple, lifting the
spider’s web away. Beneath it, the edge of her face was warm and soft,
and her hair was like heavy silk. He swallowed, brushed his hand off on
his trousers, and noticed that Reggie hadn’t yet moved.
Mostly, at least. Her breasts were rising and falling rapidly, and he could see the quick pulse in the hollow of her neck.
Colin
touched his fingers to that spot, lightly, and felt the speed of her
heartbeat. Desire was coursing through his own veins, collecting warm
and heavy in his groin, but he kept his voice quiet. He could be playful
for the moment. He could be human, as she was.
If she let him, at least.
“‘Exciting people,’ is it?” he asked. “You certainly don’t seem calm.”
Without opening her eyes, Reggie shook her head slightly. “No,” she said, drawing the word out.
Colin traced a finger along her collarbone, just above the neckline of her dress. “Are you afraid of me, then?”
Her
eyes snapped open at the question. “No,” said Reggie, very definitely.
Then she gave him an impish smile, one that went straight to his
swelling cock. “Should I be?”
“That depends verra much on who you ask,” he said, and leaned forward to kiss her.
