Dragon Lord

When Homeland Security Agent Tyler Jenkins infiltrates Courleon's Consortium in Nevada to retrieve stolen government data, she runs into Ronan, and her life takes an abrupt and frightening turn. The epitome of the movie-style international spy type, the man takes their deadly situation too lightly. After they're taken captive, she learns her irritating cellmate is a vampire-a weakened and very hungry one. Faced with being tortured to death, her only hope is to surrender her fate into his hands. After all, she always does what is most prudent and necessary. Ronan agrees to keep an eye on his HSA contact's agent while investigating the disappearance of vampire servants, but he didn't count on that agent being a woman, and worse-the most intriguing creature he'd laid eyes on for thousands of years. If he isn't careful, he will fall in love with her, and risk releasing the dark power he fought to contain since almost the beginning of time. Doing his best to discourage the feelings growing between them, he helps her escape, and together they seek aid from the one group he'd avoided the most-the vampires of the Community. Pursued by Courleon's thugs, he's forced to save her life time and time again, each event more desperate than the last, while the beast he holds stirs in anxious delight. Dragon Lord has been completely revised and expanded, giving the title character greater depth, and explaining in detail how he came to join Haven's Realm.
