A dragon never forgets… Alpha dragon shifter Erie Jovan lost her fated mate once. The royal's biggest regret is letting her go without a fight. She won't make that mistake twice.   A unexpected reunion leads to a proposal that troubled Scarlett Mher can’t afford to refuse. In exchange for an obscene amount of money, she must bear her ex-flame's mate-mark before it can be sold off to the highest bidder.   Being a royal dragon shifter’s mate is supposed to be temporary. Pretend. A favor between friends for a price. But Erie wants more. Can Scarlett resist the temptation of a second chance or will she give in to what she wants no matter the cost?
