From The Publisher:

Half-human and half-Wyr, Pia Giovanni spent her life keeping a low profile among the Wyrkind and avoiding the continuing conflict between them and their Dark Fae enemies. But after being blackmailed into stealing a coin from the hoard of a dragon, Pia finds herself targeted by one of the most powerful-and passionate-of the Elder Races.

As the most feared and respected of the Wyrkind, Dragos Cuelebre cannot believe someone had the audacity to steal from him, much less succeed. And when he catches the thief, Dragos spares her life, claiming her as his own to further explore the desire they've ignited in each other.

Pia knows she must repay Dragos for her trespass, but refuses to become his slave-although she cannot deny wanting him, body and soul. more

This was a fun, fast read that I really enjoyed. I loved the h/h, and the way they beat their heads against each other and bickered, but came together at the end. And I loved the reveal of who Pia is... it was just lovely.

Excited to dig further into this series... Tricks was a lot of fun, and I believe her book is next.

The intro was too long and boring to get into it. It just couldn’t hold my attention.
