Last Dragon (Hart)

What would you do to keep yourself safe from persecution? Cobalt Leventhorpe is faced with that question every few centuries. From friends to enemies, once they find out what he is, they never like him. And every time, it pains him to take such drastic measures. But meeting a new face in his latest home changes his perspective. The newcomer, a certain Paulina Monson, seems eager to know his secret. He does his best to keep her from it, but she finds out all the same. His perfect hideaway comes crashing down when he discovers her family is no different from the rest of them. He must leave town, but he cannot slip by without Paulina's insistence to accompany him. Fearing the worst and trusting no one, he's on the run again. Decades have taught him that his secret is his to bear, and not to be shared with anyone. Only a fool would depend on a human, yet his persistent companion makes him rethink everything he's ever known about them.

What happens when a man who has gone so long without a family finds that he has one again? Cobalt and Paulina have spent the last two blissfully uneventful years as a married couple. Together they are the Leventhorpe family, a wonderful combination. They've even managed to keep a stable income, to Cobalt's continued surprise. If life had taught him anything, it was that one should never settle into a routine too quickly. Yet for the first time, he allows himself to believe that this will last, that they will be able to live in the hotel long enough to figure out what their next step will be, and that nothing will change unless they initiate the change themselves. When he learns that Paulina is pregnant, everything changes. Living in a hotel is no longer an option. Not with a baby on the way. Can Cobalt keep his pregnant wife safe from the harm that could come to her and the baby? Is this even a world that they should be bringing a child into?
