Twisted Fate — Jessica Coulter Smith

Sentenced to life in a mental hospital, Lacey spends eight years planning her escape. Once she's on the run, she doesn't want to stop, but a bit of car trouble, and quite a bit of walking, lands her in the town of Moonspell. Get a job, get some cash and get out. That's what she plans, anyway. But you know what they say about the best-laid plans. Draco Coldstorm can tell the new waitress at the Big Bear Diner is hiding something, he just isn't sure what it is. And since he works for the fire department and not the police department, it isn't his job to figure it out. She may look sweet and innocent with those big blue eyes of hers, but deep down he knows she's trouble with a capital T. But there is something alluring about Lacey, something that calls to him. From the moment he lays eyes on her, the heart he'd thought long dead starts beating again. Not only has Draco the man noticed Lacey, his sleeping dragon is very aware of her, as well.
