18+ "I'm pretty sure that The Enforcer is my favorite Fire's Edge book. [...] Abigail's writing is amazing as ever and the storyline completely captivating. I cannot wait to see what comes next in the Fire's Edge series. One day maybe even all the couples will reunite. One can hope at least." Jennifer H, Goodreads
Description:Published: December 9th, 2019
Death comes for everyone.
Even Drake Chandali. The aging process that twists all unmated dragon shifters’ bodies into something useless has taken hold of his body centuries early. A mate could have reversed the process, but now it’s too late. To protect his team of enforcers, he leaves, and comes face to face with the woman he’d thought was human when he saved her from a fire months before.
Except she’s not human. She’s a mate.
Camilla Carrillo almost lost her family to wildfire. To discover she’s fated to mate a creature made of flame and rage, and become one herself, should be terrifying. But somehow a rightness settles inside her, especially when she’s around the glowering red dragon shifter who wants nothing to do with her.
When Drake learns Cami bears his mark—the same mark as the High King—he refuses to believe she’s meant to be his. It’s too late. How could he turn Cami only to take her with him to the grave? At the same time, he can’t walk away. Hiding her from the corrupt, rotting High King might be the last honorable thing Drake ever does with the little time he has left.
EXCERPT
With
a combination of glares, dirty looks, and curiosity filled glances, mostly from
the women, they dispersed, walking away to disappear down various human-sized
corridors that all met in this place.
Except
Cami didn’t get the memo to leave. Drake’s voice, the familiarity of those
deep, rough tones, and something else, some strange awareness, drove her feet
forward into his path.
The
second his gaze landed on her, Drake stilled, though his expression gave
nothing away.
“Shit,”
he muttered.
“Camilla?”
Rune asked beside him, a million questions in his tone.
Only
she didn’t look at him. Instead she stared at Drake, scrunching up her eyes
like viewing at him out of focus might help.
He
remained still and silent while she studied him.
A
harshly handsome face stared back at her—a slash of cheekbones, strong jaw
shadowed in dark stubble, jet black hair, though instead of the warmth of dark
eyes she would have expected, his were an unusual, intense reddish-brown shade.
Red
dragon, a vague part of her mind identified. You could always tell by the eyes.
But,
while Drake’s dark glower should’ve had her heading in the other direction—that
bite sharper with him, darker—fear was not what she felt. What she felt
was…almost like gratitude. Trust.
A
warm little sun spot somewhere in the region of her heart and a voice inside
that whispered. Only she couldn’t catch the words.
A
brightening around her told her that the internal glow at the center of her
chest had taken on a life of its own. The way his gaze dropped then narrowed
told her she wasn’t wrong. Sparks would follow any minute now, but she didn’t
care, for once.
She
needed to know first. “Have we—”
Suddenly,
Drake pitched forward, one hand to his knees, his breathing turning harsh and
erratic.
Alarm
pierced that warm familiarity. “Are you okay?”
She
bent over and instinctively put a hand on his back in a gesture meant to
comfort. Immediately he tensed, his muscles going so rigid under her palm that
she jerked her hand away.
Only
he didn’t snap at her, or straighten, or make a sound of any sort. Instead, the
man fell to the floor in a tangled heap of limbs, convulsing for several agonizingly
long seconds, before he stopped, laying so still that almost scared her more.
