Stig Wyvern has a secret. A loner who served in the Marine
Corps, he retreats to a cabin over a hillside cave and
tells visitors not to go down to the cellar, he's got an
infestation. Actually, he's got a dragon. Worse, he is the
dragon, when his body is forced to make the change every
few years. Hunters called Knights are seeking dragons and
can more easily find him at that time.
DEAD SEXY DRAGON presents Stig with a problem when his late
friend's sister comes looking for a place to stay one
evening. Cora Cardenas is lovely and in need of help, but
Stig's body is about to betray him. He lies about a severe
headache and retreats to chain himself up in the cellar,
leaving her to unpack upstairs. Cora secretly thinks Stig
is incredibly sexy, but believes that like her unfortunate
brother he must have PTSD. That night a musky scent makes
its way into Cora's room and she has a sexy dream. Stig
will be himself again in the morning, and able to move
around, but every night for the next eight nights he's got
to lock himself away again or....
This novella is surprisingly convincing from the start.
Cora has crossed some drug dealers who thought she'd be an
easy target, since her family bakery business had been put
into the red by her brother's gambling. After telling the
police everything she had to run. Stig is a woodworker who
takes pride in his craft and can't afford to be found by
the Knights. He does appreciate Cora's cooking!
Of course we get a history of dragon shifters, and Stig
will have to leave the protective brotherhood if he takes a
mate. Which is all he has on his mind right now.... The
erotic aspect is well written and very hot, everyone
enjoying themselves, and the tale turns just as deftly to a
thriller atmosphere. Lolita Lopez started writing while
studying biochemistry and genetics in Texas, and her next
release will be called Red Hot Dragon. DEAD SEXY DRAGON is
a good introduction to the Dragon Heat series and a
lively erotic adult fantasy novella.
The last thing dragon shifter Stig Wyvern needs is his dead
friend's kid sister showing up on his doorstep, especially
since he's just minutes away from entering a mating phase.
Sharing his isolated house with the young woman he's
desperately lusted after for quite some time is a recipe for
disaster.
But Cora Cardenas has nowhere else to go. She's in deep
trouble with some really nasty people and Stig is the only
one who can protect her. That he's deliciously sexy and
makes her tingle with the simplest of smiles is an added
bonus.
Cora quickly realizes Stig is hiding something from her. To
make matters worse, she's plagued with breathtakingly
naughty dreams starring a shadowed lover who bears a
startling resemblance to her host. And what the hell is
going on in the basement at night?
Stig needs to get Cora out of his house but his inner beast
has other ideas. He's found his mate and she's not going
anywhere.
