    He couldn’t retreat. There was no escape. There was just Joy Valdez, sitting next to him, obliviously gorgeous. 
    Vincent Dragomir has always felt more comfortable as a dragon than a man. He's witnessed first-hand what envy can do to men, and he wants nothing to do with that kind of greed and excess. When he meets notorious socialite Joy Valdez, he’s prepared to hate the girl who represents everything that was stolen from him when his parents were killed in a royal coup. He’s not at all prepared for the attraction that renders him mute whenever she’s around. 
    After a brush with death, Joy Valdez is determined to leave her party-girl reputation behind. If only she could convince dragon shifter Vincent Dragomir that she really has changed her ways. The brooding prince makes her heart beat faster than pixie dust, but he always seems to be judging her: for her family’s misdeeds, for her flighty ways, for her newly-curvy body. When they’re forced on a road trip together, she’s hoping to clear the air between them…until a vengeful witch attacks, and Joy and Vincent find themselves fighting for their lives, and each other.  
    The Kings of the Fire is a thrilling series with each book featuring a new couple and their happily ever after. The story centers around a prophecy that brings together witches, pixies, shifters, and humans to restore peace to the magical world. If you love a small-town romance with a magical twist, this series is perfect for you.
