Sable Quinn just inherited a fortune.Unfortunately, the fortune comes with a dragon.Twenty-eight-year-old Sable is unemployed, practical, sarcastic, and definitely not looking for adventure. Then she inherits a mysterious stone vault from a great-uncle she barely knew, along with an iron key and one warning:Don't open it after dark.Naturally, she does.Inside is a legendary dragon's hoard filled with mountains of gold, priceless jewels, and ancient artifacts. Then the largest pile of treasure moves.Thorne Valerius, an ancient gold dragon who has slept for nearly two hundred years, awakens to find a modern woman standing in his hoard. His solution is simple: Sable is his, and everything in the vault belongs to him.Sable's response? Absolutely not.Thorne may be an immensely powerful, immortal dragon shifter, but Sable isn't going to let a medieval-minded dragon treat her like another piece of treasure. Unfortunately, arguing with an ancient dragon doesn't make him disappear.Soon Sable is living next door in the caretaker's cottage while she and Thorne attempt to negotiate their impossible situation. Along the way, she has to explain electricity, smartphones, online banking, streaming television, takeout, and why her car is definitely not part of his hoard.Their uneasy truce turns into forced proximity, witty banter, slow-burn attraction, and unexpected emotional intimacy. Beneath Thorne's possessiveness, Sable discovers a lonely man who has spent centuries guarding gold and forgotten what it means to have someone to love.But the awakening of Thorne and his legendary hoard hasn't gone unnoticed.An old enemy has returned.A rival dragon wants the treasure, and Sable may be the most valuable thing in it.When danger threatens his mate, Thorne's human form gives way to the terrifying power of his true gold dragon nature. Sable finally sees the loneliness beneath his fierce protectiveness—and realizes that the ancient dragon she thought was simply a problem to solve may be the man she cannot imagine living without.But Sable refuses to surrender her independence, even for an immortal dragon.Thorne must learn that loving his mate means protecting her without possessing her, while Sable must decide whether she's willing to leave her ordinary life behind for a world of dragons, magic, treasure, and supernatural danger.Because Sable isn't another jewel in Thorne's hoard.She's the greatest treasure he has ever found.Perfect for readers who love dragon shifter romance, fantasy romance, paranormal romance, fated mates, possessive heroes, protective alpha heroes, forced proximity romance, slow-burn romance, contemporary fantasy, urban fantasy, magical inheritance, supernatural romance, shapeshifter romance, and humorous fantasy romance.Expect an ancient dragon hero, a sarcastic modern heroine, legendary treasure, rival dragons, magical secrets, fierce protection, sizzling chemistry, heartfelt romance, and plenty of laughs.
