For a woman with nothing, protection comes at a price.

Hazel

After losing her home and everything she knows, Hazel has one way out—a deal with the local dragon shifters.

As a rare human able to have shifter children, she's treasured among the male dragons. Like anything precious, she needs to be protected. The live-in bodyguard is a little much, though.

Her new roommate, tattooed, grumpy Jay, is immune to her upbeat attitude. His blackout rages whenever men touch her mean she's behaving herself whether she likes it or not.

When she goes into heat, all she wants is him. But no matter how badly she craves his touch, their electric connection is forbidden.

The dragons have another fate planned for her. A different mate. Because treasure can be traded.

Jay

Forging an alliance with a rival gang costs more than silver and gold. They want Hazel.

Jay has committed a lot of sins to defend his makeshift family. Handing his chirpy charge to the worst dragons alive should be easy.

But the longer Hazel is in his apartment, the harder she is to let go. Everything from her sweet scent to her gentle nature calls to his berserk inner beast—a monster who'd burn the world to the ground to protect her.

When a mysterious attack puts Hazel in danger, the dragon she's meant for is the prime suspect. But it's much too late to back out of the deal. Stealing from a dragon means war.

To save her, he'll pay the ultimate price: unleashing the monster inside him and letting the rage take over.

The Dragon Berserker's Mate is the second novel in the Bad Dragon's Bride series. It can be enjoyed as a standalone, featuring its own couple, steam, and a happily ever after.
