Dragon Thief (Simons)

Ancient magic, a deadly bargain, and a whole lot of lives on the lineTeaming up with a crew of people all with the same goalto save damsels in distressseemed like a fun idea. At the time. But growing pains and Myra's lifetime of working alone complicate the delicate balance of the new team. She doesn't want to give up on it, for Christopher's sake as much as her own. Her dragon shifter boyfriend has a soft spot for damsels in distress. To ensure his safety, Myra will willingly work with other people, so someone's there to have their backs.But trust never came easy for the magic thief, and now Myra has to learn to trust a whole bunch of people when some of them clearly don't trust her.When the team's latest attempt to rescue a damsel in distress goes bad, and their tight timeline pushes the boundaries of calculated risk, trust might be the only thing that saves them. The only thing that can save their client. Because two wealthy, dangerous men after the same ancient artifact, and one conman without a conscious, have trapped an innocent artist in the crossfire. Myra, Christopher, and the others will do whatever it takes to rescue their client.Even if it means launching themselves into danger. Confronting deadly ancient magic. And putting all their lives on the line.

Saving a dragon can complicate a thief's life...One job for the dragon king. Myra had been obliged to do just one job to make up for the teeny, tiny mistake of breaking into the king's hoard. Rescue his son. Restitution satisfied. Myra, clear and clean from one of the bigger mistakes of her life. And since the son in question turned out to be a sexy dragon shifter named Christopher, not Chris, a shifter she wouldn't mind getting to know better. The job... Not a total wash. But still, just one job. The dragon king has other ideas. Myra doesn't normally work for other people. She steals what she wants, when she wants, because she wants to. Her favorite marks...rich people who don't even know their stuff is missing. But when a dragon king wants to hire you, and pay you a small fortune, to retrieve an old relic, what's a thief to do? Having Christopher along for the ride, doesn't hurt. Spending more time with him is almost worth the irritation of working for his father again. Complicates things too, though. Myra likes interesting. Complicated worries her. And her feelings for Christopher are getting complicated.

What does a wizard want from the dragon king... And what do they both want from Myra? Questions she asks herself, repeatedly, while trapped in a vault. A circumstance that leaves her questioning all her life choices. Unfortunately, curiosity bit her again. Because both the dragon king and the wizard lied to her about this job. A job to steal a relic with nefarious powers. A job that Christopher doesn't know about. Myra trusts the wizard and the king about as far as she can throw them, but she also desperately wants to know what they're up to. And why Christopher's father cut him out of this scheme. She also needs to know what the dragon king really wants from her, once and for all. Because her feelings for Christopher grow with every passing moment. Only one thing keeps getting in the way of exploring those feelings. The king. But before she can get her answers, she has to survive her current job. And she has to escape the impenetrable vault before time, and her air, runs out.

The past might save her future, or destroy everything... A ten-year-old secret, a holiday season, and a walk down memory lane. Myra hopes to share these things with Christopher, because life is short. Especially if you're a magical thief falling hard for the dragon king's son. She wants to stay in Christopher's life, which means being in Christopher's dragon shifter world. But first, she needs him to know something about her past. Secrets never shared. And a treasure left hidden for a very long time. Somehow, old wrongs always come back to disrupt even the most sentimental journey for Myra, though. Endangering this one very important job. And this time, her past, not the dragon world, threaten their lives as Myra and Christopher race to solve an old mystery. Keeping Christopher by her side is the only thing Myra wants for the holidays, and the one thing that might be beyond her reach. Because even a magical thief can't steal a heart.

No one saw her coming... After the last job for the dragon king, Myra vows never again. No more. But for Christopher, and for whatever these feelings developing between them might be... She can't say no. Especially if the job involves a damsel in distress. Myra's dragon shifter prince just can't resist rescuing people in trouble. And when he needs a thief to do that, Myra happily jumps in. The job might be skirting the line between working for the dragon king and not working for the dragon king, but Myra willingly walks that line for Christopher. What starts out as a simple case of helping one woman rescue her career, though, quickly turns into something Myra never expected, something no one expected. A foe so deadly, so terrifying, that if they get this wrong, the entire island of Manhattan could burn. Pitting a magical thief and her dragon shifter prince against one of the most terrifying creatures on the planet... How can they possibly survive? By stealing something of course. Before everything goes up in flames.

Priceless artifact, impossible heist... How can a thief resist? As Myra tries to find her footing in this new world of dragon shifters, one problem clearly stands out above the rest. The dragon king and his dangerous jobs. Avoiding Christopher because of his father proves impossible, though. And when the king offers her yet another job, a heist almost as interesting as it is impossible, she gives in. To both the job, and working with Christopher. Pulling off an impossible theft requires focus, precision, and planning. Precision and planning, Myra has down. Focus... With Christopher around, that focus wavers. Ignoring a seven-foot tall, intimidatingly sexy dragon shifter would challenge even the most determined. Myra's determined. Just not determined enough to stay away from Christopher. But first they have to pull of his father's impossible mission and recover a priceless relic. Without getting caught. And without letting her feelings get in the way.

One magic thief, one dragon shifter, and a whole lot of deadly mayhem... Myra has made many mistakes in her life. Breaking into a dragon king's hoard... Not one of her most successful mistakes. As a thief with a touch of magic, though, she adores a good challenge. Unfortunately, the dragon king adores a good repayment for damages done. Not that she even stole anything! They caught her before she could. But no one argues with a dragon king. Do the job for him, or suffer the consequences. The job in question... Steal back the dragon king's son. Myra never suspects when she reluctantly agrees to the king's terms that the youngling she's sent to rescue will turn out to be a sexy hunk of a dragon shifter whose deep voice and outstanding height push all her buttons. Or that her night will turn out so...interesting. Or that escaping his kidnappers will toss them into a deadly race against time. But Myra loves a good challenge. Especially an interesting one.
