For nearly a decade, Erika Rosencrans has carried on her dead father’s legacy to prove that dragons exist, but it isn’t only his old archaeology research that drives her. Dreams of a potently masculine, red-haired man haunt her sleep and leave her aching to know him in the flesh. She is only sure of one thing: the man of her dreams is a dragon locked in hibernation and she won’t stop searching until she finds him.

Red dragon Gavra has lain in stasis for five centuries, petrified in the form of a man awaiting release from his stone prison. All he desires is freedom, however it arrives, and has little use for love. But when his dreams become inundated by a female whose charms baffle him, he can’t believe that a human woman such as her could possibly exist, much less be the mate that Fate intended to rouse him from his slumber.
