She came to wed his brother... and stole the Dragon's heart.

To settle a feud, Dominique Beauchamp is prepared to sacrifice in order to heal their ravaged lands. Offered in marriage by her brother to the lord of Drakewich, she arrives to take the d'Lucy name ... never counting on losing her heart to the brother of her betrothed--the notorious Black Dragon.

Loyal to his brother unto death, Blaec d'Lucy mistrusts Dominique from the beginning, believing her to be part of her brother's endless perfidy, but he is powerless to resist the fiery vixen who rides so proudly into their midst... and their forbidden love is sealed ... once upon a kiss.
