Tara steps into her new apartment expecting peace, only to find Sebastian—her longtime campus nemesis—standing there with that maddeningly smug smile. He calls her Barbie. She calls him Nerd. They clash on sight, sparks flying in ways neither of them wants to admit. But beneath their bickering sit secrets sharp enough to cut, shadows neither of them can outrun alone. As forced proximity softens their edges, the heat between them shifts into something far more tempting… and far more dangerous. With every moment together, their walls crumble, leaving them to wonder if the person they hate is exactly the person they need.

Camille never believed she could capture the attention of the object of her desire, the gorgeous, irreverent geologist, Eben. Now she is over the moon with happiness at being adored not only by him, but the Dragon Guardian, Roka, who she awakened during the Ritual with her virgin blood.

But when a black dragon, a Shadow named Rafe, shows up unannounced and in dire need of help, their perfect trio is forced to split. Without the Guardian’s balancing influence, Camille and Eben find themselves at odds over their new mission: rejoining Erika to help locate the lost fragment of the Verdanith, the magical artifact that will enhance dragon fertility and allow Camille to conceive Roka’s child.

There are secrets being kept even among their close-knit group, and the only dragon Camille trusts to be honest with her is thousands of miles away on a separate secret mission. Even Eben’s uncharacteristic silence worries Camille, but she can’t seem to get through to him.

Will she and Eben be able to overcome their differences and find their way back to the love they first shared? Will their idyllic trio be reunited after Roka completes his mission?
