Meet the hero ~
Guy
Guy is wholly unprepared for his life to be shaken to its very core when he saves a woman who has trespassed onto their land and decided to go caving in their mountain. While everyone else is worried what she might have seen, Guy is more concerned with the way he can't stay away from Elena or her very tempting lips.
Never once has he turned his back on his fellow Dragon Kings, but for Elena he would do anything just to keep her near him. Even if it meant going against everything it was to be a King.

Night’s Awakening
Fueled by dragon magic, the dark immortal warriors were never meant to feel human desire, much less fall in love. But when Guy, a member of an ancient order of shape-shifting warriors, meets Elena Griffin—a mere mortal whose beauty and blind ambition shakes him to his core—all bets are off…Having left America to explore the Scottish Highlands, Elena suddenly finds herself lost in a dark cave—alone, injured, and utterly hopeless…until Guy appears from out of nowhere. Is she dreaming her own rescue when she falls into his arms? A man—and a passion—this strong is too good to be true. It’s only a matter a time before she learns the truth about the flames in his heart. And the dragon in his soul…
Read a snippet from Night's Awakening ~~
Dreagan Land
In the mountain . . .
“I tell you, I know what I heard,” Banan said.
Guy ran a hand down his face. The world he’d known, the world that hadn’t changed in millennia had been rocked to its foundation not too long ago when his friend and fellow Dragon King had fallen in love with a mortal. And he still wasn’t sure how he felt about it.
He glanced at Banan. “The only woman who would venture in here is Cassie, and she and Hal are gone for the next week to Paris.”
“I know,” Banan ground out, not bothering to hold back his irritation.
Rhys, who had stood listening with his arms crossed, released a long breath and met Guy’s gaze. “I was in here with Banan. I heard something, but I wasn’t sure what it was at the time. Banan was closer to the back of the caves than I was.”
“You know as well as we do that the caves go all through the mountain,” Banan said.
Guy grunted. He knew all too well about the caves. Every Dragon King would spend centuries sleeping in the caves within the mountain before awakening for a few decades. It was just one way they kept their existence hidden. “Aye, but most end into nothing.”
“There are two that go all the way through,” Rhys said. “I’ve walked both. They’re extremely treacherous to humans.”
“Which means no human will venture there.” Guy wasn’t sure why his friends were so adamant that it could be a human. Nothing had happened in the five months since Hal and Cassie’s marriage. The spell that kept them from feeling anything deep for humans was still in place.
At least he thought it was. Rather, he prayed it was. Guy wasn’t sure he wanted to feel anything as intensely as Hal loved Cassie. Their life as dragon shifters was difficult enough without adding in a female.
But Guy couldn’t deny the loneliness that a quick fuck from a woman in a nearby village only made worse. He might ease his body, but the ache of detachment never went away. Thanks to Hal and his happiness, Guy realized all too clearly what was missing from his life.
He was King, a leader. It’s what he did best. It was why he had ruled the Reds. But what was a ruler to do when he had nothing to rule?
The years blurred drearily as Guy did his job at Dreagan, whatever that happened to be at any given moment. He, like the others, would take to the skies at night. Only then did he feel remotely like the Dragon King he remembered himself to be.
Would he spend the rest of eternity as discontent as he was now? It was no wonder other Kings like Kellan went into the caves and hadn’t come out in . . . eons.
Banan exhaled harshly. “I’ll wager a month of pay that a human is in there.”
“A female,” Rhys said.
