Cassandra Price knew how difficult the world could be, but meeting a dragon shifter at a bar was more outlandish than anything. She'd been celebrating, becoming affluent virtually overnight, even though partying wasn't her idea of a good time. A high school dropout with no job and still living with her mother, Cassandra didn't expect to be at the center of positive attention. Lukas O'Hare certainly wasn't expecting to meet a compatible mate that night. Unlike most shifters, his partner wasn't predestined. She was chosen. Cassandra instantly attracts him and he wants nothing more than to get her into bed. As he discovers more and more about her, his animal attraction begins to change and he decides that she's the one he wants. With his beast on board, things should've been easy. Well, that just wasn't the case when Lukas has a nosey housemate and an inner beast that's a bit too hasty.
