(Inferno Rising #1)
By Abigail Owen
Kasia Amon is a master at hiding. Who—and what—she is
makes her a mark for the entire supernatural world. Especially dragon shifters.
To them, she’s treasure to be taken and claimed. A golden ticket to their
highest throne. But she can’t stop bursting into flames, and there’s a sexy
dragon shifter in town hunting for her…
As a rogue dragon, Brand Astarot has spent his life in the
dark, shunned by his own kind, concealing his true identity. Only his dangerous
reputation ensures his survival. Delivering a phoenix to the feared Blood King
will bring him one step closer to the revenge he’s waited centuries to take. No
way is he letting the feisty beauty get away.
But when Kasia sparks a
white-hot need in him that’s impossible to ignore, Brand begins to form a new
plan: claim her for himself…and take back his birthright.
Excerpt
The
only warning she got that she was being followed was the flick of a shadow in
the headlights. Before she could react, a massive golden dragon slammed down on
the road in front of her about half a mile out. She almost expected the ground
to shake with the force, but the act was near silent.
Dammit.
She
gritted her teeth and tightened her hands on the wheel. Rather than stop, Kasia
hit the gas, pushing the car to go faster. He wasn’t taking her without a
fight, that was for damn sure.
The
dragon’s deep golden scales glittered in the oncoming headlights. He didn’t
budge. But he did growl, his tail slashing back and forth.
“Move,
you scaly bastard,” she muttered.
But
she didn’t let up on the pedal.
He
lowered his head and let loose a growl of warning, which she responded to by
stomping harder on the gas.
“Get
out of the way!”
She
had no intention of playing chicken. If he didn’t, she’d ram this car down his
fire-breathing throat. The hell with it. She didn’t want to go back to that
cabin in Alaska anyway. Maul would miss her, but he’d be the only one.
Only
the dragon didn’t move. Okay then.
Kasia braced for impact.
At
the moment she should’ve slammed into him, the beast heaved himself into the
air, and she zoomed past, fishtailing underneath him from the force of the wind
his wings caused.
He
must’ve backed up, because he landed on the road in front of her again.
“You
want another go, you oversized flying iguana?” she shouted, and bore down on
him.
And
again, he hopped out of her way only to land in her path.
Damn.
Kasia held in a scream of fear-tinged frustration. They could keep this up all
night, getting them nowhere fast. He wasn’t going to let her go.
With
a growl of aggravation, though not defeat, Kasia stomped on the brakes. The
tires squealed in protest, and the unpleasant odor of burning rubber followed
her as she skidded the car to a stop broadside of the dragon, only a few feet away.
If she rolled down her window, she could reach out and touch him.
The
terrifying creature moved around the car, his movements more of a glide, like
golden water flowing around her. He lowered his head to gaze in at her with an
eye the size of her entire thigh. He snorted, and smoke trailed from his
nostrils as he glared at her.
Kasia
glared back but raised her hands off the steering wheel in a gesture of
surrender.
