I'm done being someone's second best.And I have the scars from my first-marriage to prove it. Now that I'm stuck with a dragon shifter, it's going to take more than muscles as hard as a good D to convince me that they're serious.Of course, if it wasn't for my big mouth I wouldn't be in this situation to begin with.I was there when the ceasefire terms were presented by the dragons. They demanded eight women a year as tribute.My ex-husband, 'The General', argued that we should never surrender. I said he was an idiot, that we were losing. His response was that if I was so in favor, I should be the first to volunteer.Now I'm stuck on the Dragon Isles with a dragon who doesn't want me. He's just pretending, so he can pay off his debts.His former business partners have their eyes set on a whole lot more gold than before, however, and if they don't get it, they're going to take something namely me.But when he realizes he's about to lose me, I discover that 'my' dragon wasn't completely faking it after all...
