Perfect guy, terrible timing…

Hired to take a mega-ranch from pitiful to profitable, Cheryl Payne needs to stay focused. The hunk freeloading on his friend’s ranch is a temptation she can’t afford to indulge. First in her family to graduate college, she’s gambled everything to prove she can do this job. Now is most definitely not the time to fall in love.

Emerald dragon Rowe is pulling out all the stops to delay his trip back to the dragon enclave. Living among humans held little appeal, until he met the enticing and driven ranch manager, Cheryl. When she stumbles into the kitchen more desperate for coffee than clothes, his dragon comes alive. He’s finally found his mate. The only problem will be convincing her that his cravings are more than skin-deep.

The battle she’s fighting between wanting to save the ranch, and wanting to run her hands over his body, grows fierce as things spiral out of control. Forced to turn to him for help, she comes dangerously close to picking pleasure over business. The discipline and concentration that got her through school disappears under his intense green eyes and ripped body. The only thing worse than giving in to her craving would be to do nothing, because Rowe is the only one that can stop the danger heading straight for the ranch.
