Second book in the Dragon Knights series.
War has come to the Border Lair, but as enemies become allies — and lovers — hope springs anew for the dragons and their knights.
A young widow, Adora raised her daughter by herself, but her girl is married now. Can Adora find a love of her own in the crowded Border Lair? Dare she even try?
Lord Darian Vordekrais is about to turn traitor, giving up his title, his lands, and his home in order to warn the dragons and knights of his treacherous king’s evil plan. Will his life be forfeit or is there some way he can make a new life in a foreign land?
Sir Jared lost his wife and child to treachery, but he knows Lord Darian and trusts him. Both men admire the lovely Adora, but Jared’s broken heart is frozen in solid ice. Or is it?
As war comes to the border, the knights and dragons of the Border Lair rise to the occasion. New allies rally to their side. Love blossoms and grows even as evil invades the land. The knights and dragons must stand fast against the onslaught, the beautiful woman of royal blood bringing them hope, healing and love.

Excerpt:
“I didn’t mean to wake you, Adora.” He tried to keep his voice low. “You were restless and I came in to make sure you were all right.”
“I was dreaming. It was a nightmare.” Her sleepy eyes grew frightened and huge as she remembered the vision that had disturbed her slumber. “You were falling. Jared, you were falling off Kelzy’s back and you had an arrow through your chest. There was a lot of blood and you were so high.” Her voice broke as real fear shivered through her small body.
He had no choice then but to pull her into his arms and comfort the trembling woman. She was so petite and beautiful, he couldn’t bear to see her so afraid. Especially on his behalf. Especially when it wasn’t even real.
“Ssh, Adora. It was only a dream. I’m here and I’m fine. Kelzy would never drop me. You know that.” He rocked her in his strong arms as she clung to him, his voice crooning to her as if she were a babe.
“It seemed so real. Jared, what if it’s an omen? What if—?” She broke off on a sob and clung to him.
He rubbed her back with one strong hand, his frozen heart cracking open at her distress. Without thought, he brought his head down to rest against her, cuddling into her warm neck, inhaling her womanly scent. He kissed her, placing soft little nibbles on her neck, just under her jaw and near the delicate shell of her ear. The shivers of fright changed to something more enticing. Nibbling on her earlobe, Jared felt her soft sexy sigh as she relaxed into his embrace.
“Don’t be afraid, Adora.” His whisper sent warm, moist air into her ear and she gasped. “It’s only a dream.”
“Jared.”
Her gasping moan brought him closer to her lips, his arms shifting, drawing her nearer to his hard body. He wanted her desperately. Giving in to desire, he brought his mouth to hers, sipping at her sweetness, drowning in her soft womanly flavor. This was what he wanted. This! He wanted her.
