The Dragon's Virgin Bride (Monstrous Betrothal)

Every hundred years, the city offers a virgin to the beast in the mountain-a living tribute sealed in sacred ceremony. Aelira was chosen. Gowned in nothing but gold-leaf and fear, she ascends to the altar expecting death. But what descends from the sky is no mindless monster. The dragon is power incarnate, ancient and carnal, and he doesn't want her blood. He wants her obedience. Her surrender. Her transformation.

What begins as ritual becomes obsession. Aelira is taught, touched, and tempted beyond what any mortal bride should endure. As her body is stretched to its limits and her mind melted in pleasure, she's faced with the ultimate choice: remain human and untouched. . . or be claimed, utterly and eternally, by a beast who will make her burn-in every way.
