In the Dragon's Lair by Joy Lynn Fielding is the second in the Wings over Albion series, but can be read as a standalone. The first two books are available now, so if you like the sounds of the excerpt, go and pick up both.From the blurb:
Nate Mortimer is hot, funny, and kissing him is like falling into the sun.
He’s also the last man I should ever be with.
He’s smooth, wealthy, and practically dragon royalty. Me? I’m just a dragon from the Cornish countryside. Or so I like people to think.
I’m investigating the Fortescues, one of the richest, most powerful dragon families in Britain. Problem is, I’m not the only one who’s undercover. Every time I turn around, Nate’s in my way.
Can I trust him? He has his own issues with the Fortescues. Those dragons are dangerous, and his plotting could draw me into a lethal power struggle. His emotional baggage and troublesome ex? Also problematic.
And none of that helps me keep my mind—or hands—off him.
If I’m not careful, falling for the wrong dragon-shifter could cost me so much more than just my heart…
In the Dragon’s Lair is an m/m paranormal romance. Book 2 in the Wings over Albion series, it can be read as a standalone.
Excerpt:
Determination replaced the distant look in Nate’s eyes. “We may be looking for the same information. Even if we’re not, we can help one another.”
“Yeah,” I agreed. “Though if they’re responsible for the attacks on your family's bank, I’d have thought they’d be suspicious of you. Instead, they’ve invited you to stay.”
“I suspect James wants to keep me under observation.”
“Can we use that? Can you distract them so I can do some more looking around?”
Nate hesitated, perhaps suspecting I wouldn’t pass on to him whatever I found.
“I wouldn’t mind being the distraction,” I assured him, “but if they’re already suspicious of you, they’re not going to leave you unsupervised.” Maybe that was why Ella was all over him.
“I suppose I could,” he said at last, reluctantly. “Though I don’t know how I can distract them, short of stripping in the drawing room.”
“I said distract them, not me.” I was heartened to see the flash of humour in his face. He wasn’t impervious to my flirting. Speaking of which… “Was there any particular reason why you kissed me earlier?”
“To stop you saying anything stupid,” he said, a glint in his eye.
“Oh, really? What if I was about to say something stupid right now?”
His gaze strayed to my mouth before he looked away again. “If we’re going to do this properly and stay safe, we’d better go to the Jane Austen Centre in case anyone asks.”
I’d thought he was about to kiss me, but something had changed his mind. I still didn’t understand who Nate Mortimer was, though that didn’t stop me wanting to screw him. Seemed like he was a bit less eager. Oh, well. Now we were working together, I’d win him over with my charm and captivating personality.
