But her deceptions lead to feelings she has never had before. Bianca is determined to have her dragon, but her stepmother has other plans. Draco doesn't deny his physical need to bed the lovely Bianca. Rather than give in to his desires, he threatens to ride away; however, his honor demands he stay and protect her from the lethal attentions of others. The first problem is figuring out who wants her dead. The second is opening his heart to love.
