In the enchanted realms of Sylvandar, where dragonfire lights the canopy of ancient evergreens and star-crossed fates entwine like vines, healer Mira discovers Drakon, a dragon lord stripped of his flames by a treacherous curse. His gentle caress, born of embers long suppressed, awakens Mira's hidden affinity for fire magic, drawing them into a whirlwind romance that defies the edicts of the sylvan council. As they quest through mist-veiled mountains and ember-lit caverns, pursued by rival dragonkin seeking to reclaim Drakon's power, their love uncovers a forgotten alliance between humans and dragons that could heal the land's barren scars. But when a frost witch unleashes blizzards to extinguish their bond, Mira must channel dragonfire's warmth to thaw not just the curse, but the frozen hearts of Sylvandar. In a world where every scale whispers of loss and every caress ignites rebirth, their star-crossed passion becomes the gentle flame that forges an unbreakable legacy.

A Lethal Walk in Lakeland

Nicholas George

Former San Diego detective Rick “Chase” Chasen has found a welcome change of pace on walking tours in the British countryside. But England’s green and pleasant land can hide all kinds of surprises—including murder …

Chase has two compelling reasons for returning to England—a group walk along the famed Coast to Coast trail in the picturesque Lake District, and a chance to further his relationship with Mike, the handsome Devonshire coroner he met on his last trip. The walkers, including Chase’s dear friend and fellow Anglophile Billie Mondreau, assemble at a Cumbrian hotel and begin their adventure with the traditional “baptism of the boots” in St. Bee’s Bay. But they’ve barely begun traveling eastward with their genial guide than the group dynamic turns unexpectedly rocky.

The problem is the Uptons—a wealthy family who have arrived from Texas, and whose squabbling antics continually overshadow the bucolic surroundings. Brock Upton, tall and commanding, is traveling with his pint-sized wife and his three siblings, along with a family friend. Every member of the party cites a different reason for joining the tour, and Chase’s instincts tell him they’re all lying.

Brock’s heart condition hinders their progress through the Lake District’s hills and dales. But that proves the least of their problems when one of the Uptons is fatally poisoned. Years of secrets and grudges emerge, along with a decades-old family mystery. And only Chase’s investigative expertise can find the answers—and uncover a killer in their midst before tragedy befalls the tour again …
