Or your fated mate.Dragon King Nikolai Baudin witnessed how love destroyed his own father and vows to never take a mate, until the little girl he rescued years ago returns with a traveling caravan. Aria has become a stunning—and mysterious—woman, and he finds his desire for her overwhelming his resolve. But when he discovers some of his people murdered, Nikolai must face the possibility that the woman who draws him and his dragon so strongly may be responsible. He’ll risk everything to ferret out her secrets—even his battered heart. If he doesn’t, an ancient evil could destroy his entire kingdom.Aria’s life is a delicate balance of making a life in the caravan and locking herself away to keep those around her safe once the sun sets. She never expected to see the darkly handsome king who once saved her from a burning pike, only to turn her over to strangers, and forget about her. But when she finds him again, it’s not anger she’s feeling, but something far more unsettling… desire. If he discovers her secret, she could lose everything she’s worked for. But when people begin to die, Aria fears that the past is repeating itself, and that the man she’s come to love could be her next victim.Note to Nikolai of Semar is a medieval, paranormal romance featuring a super sexy dragon shifter and a woman who is far more than she seems. If you like a steamy book with a dragon shapeshifter, a mysterious heroine, the Fae, action-packed fight scenes, and funny side characters, then this book is for you! You get a happily ever after and no cliff-hangers. less
