Dragocracy

So it turns out dragons are real. I never suspected the lava rock I threw into the firepit was actually an egg. I'm blown away when it hatches to reveal a reptile with a voracious appetite. Cute little bugger, until it learns to talk. The bossy critter thinks he can order me around. Claims he's a dragon. Says when he grows strong enough, he wants to rule the world. I say go ahead. He can't do any worse than our current politicians. However, his plans for planetary domination have hit a slight snag. Seems my little fella-who grumbles that I'm not honoring him properly-is wanted by the government. Or so the goons that show up on my property claim. I have my doubts as to their identities. Even if they're telling the truth, I'm not about to hand over my new pet, but how's a woman who inks tattoos for a living supposed to keep a dragon safe? The local pet shop owner-hunky, plaid-wearing Maddox-has a few ideas, but my little dragon isn't keen on running. Can I keep my dragon out of the clutches of those who'd steal him for personal gain? And if we do have to flee, will Maddox come too? I need all the help I can get with figuring out life with the lizard. Contains mature themes.

Can a loner be the hero they need? Being a grumpy ex-soldier means I like being alone. What better place for solitude, far from home and bad memories, than a remote chalet in Italy? Peace and quiet, just what I need to write my next book. You know what they say about best laid plans, right? Somehow I end sheltering a single mom on the run with her kid-and a talking lizard. How the hell did that happen? Guess being ornery doesn't mean I lack a heart because I end up offering them refuge. Nicky and her toddler, escaping an abusive situation and looking for a fresh start. Percy, the reptile who turns out to be a dragon and needs constant feeding and protection. For some reason, they trust me. Me, the man who can't even sleep through the night. Then again, who else better to safeguard than a man who's not afraid to act? I might have retired from action, but that doesn't mean I've forgotten how to track down the enemy and make them pay. If you dare to threaten those I care about, I promise, it will be the last thing you do. Contains mature themes.

My name is Matias and my life has become a soap opera since a bossy dragon adopted me. I found a half-drowned lizard while hiking, but the hungry reptile isn't the only thing I picked up in Charcani Chico. Kayleigh, a beautiful and curvy woman with amnesia, needs my help, too. Somehow, they both end up living in my house and that's where the craziness starts. First off, turns out the little lizard I came across is a dragon. How do I know? Because she told me! Yes, my little Pollita can talk, and she's making grandiose plans for the future. If I can keep her safe. That won't be easy because it turns out Kayleigh's amnesia wasn't caused by an accident. Someone tried to murder her because she was a witness to Pollita's attempted kidnapping. To keep both Pollita and Kayleigh safe, we end up hiding out in the jungle for a while. However, trouble ends up finding us in our piece of paradise. Who knew that serving a tiny, demanding dragon would have me living out my very own telenovela? Bring on the danger, drama, and excitement, because I'm ready to face it all for love. Contains mature themes.
