Immortal Dragons Prequel: Dragon Betrayed

by Ophelia Bell

I had him shackled and bound, but he was still in control. "I want to break you apart," he growled. So I whispered, "Then earn it." He will.

She’s a goddess who holds the world in her hands—yet craves the one thing she can’t command: surrender. He’s the mortal bold enough to take her there, binding her with chains and pulling her into a storm of pain and pleasure she never imagined. But passion this fierce doesn’t come without a cost. When an immortal dragon refuses to pay love’s price, the balance of fate shatters. Desire turns dangerous, devotion burns like fire, and the line between ruin and redemption grows razor-thin. In a realm where gods can fall and mortals can rise, obsession might just be the only way to survive.
