The wait is over! The highly anticipated FIRESTORM,
the tenth book in the DARK KINGS Series is now available!
Firestorm
(Dark Kings Series, Bk #10)
by Donna Grant
Blurb:
SCORCHED BY DESIRE
Dimitri lives to protect the secret of the Dragon Kings from the human race. Bound by a bond stronger than blood to the Kings, Dimitri uses his strength and prowess to defend a thousand-year-old secret. But when an oh-so-sexy, slightly absent-minded archaeologist wanders into his midst, Dimitri will have to give up his rules, and give in to desire…
When Dr. Faith Reynolds stumbles upon an ancient skeleton that appears it comes from a dragon, she’s completely taken aback. A woman of science, there’s no way in her mind that this mythological creature can exist. But when a devilishly handsome man named Dimitri intercepts her path to uncovering the truth, Faith’s curiosity turns into all-consuming passion. She’s never felt this way about any man before. But when Dimitri reveals his biggest secret, can she learn to love the man—as well as the dragon within?

Excerpts
Faith let
her gaze slowly run up the tall man. He wore jeans that hugged his trim hips,
and a thin, black, V-neck sweater that showed off every mouthwatering muscle
that was honed to perfection.
His muscles
weren’t so huge that they looked ugly. But they were big enough to be
noticed—and appreciated.
And she
couldn’t seem to stop appreciating them. Her gaze lingered on his thick chest,
imagining her hands running over his pecs before sliding around his neck.
Her breath
hitched as her blood heated. She unzipped her jacket to help cool herself. Then
she looked up at his face. And what a face!
His wide,
full lips softened the sharp lines of his jaw. Azure eyes framed with thick,
black lashes watched her with a decided lack of interest. It was difficult to
determine whether his hair was dark brown or black in the dim light of the
cave.
But it was
trimmed short with the top long enough to be parted to the side, the locks
having a hint of wave to them.
She had a
strange and overwhelming desire to run her hands through his hair and climb
him.
Claim him.
Her knees
threatened to buckle from the insane and decadent thoughts. The carnal longing
swept through her shamelessly—and she embraced it.
Even as she
feared it.
It took
three attempts before she was able to have enough saliva to swallow.
“Who are
you?” she demanded.
“The man
who’s going to keep you safe,” came his harsh reply framed in a Scot’s brogue.
Her gaze
shifted to Tamir. “Excuse me?”
Tamir
laughed nervously. “Yeah, this is what I tried to tell you earlier. When I
spoke with Ronnie, she suggested someone to help keep the crazies out. So she
sent Dmitri.”
Faith looked
at Muscles again and noticed his interest was squarely on the skeleton. Just as
she was about to tell Tamir to send him away, she realized they could use
someone to keep the loonies at bay.
Getting to
her feet, she extended her hand to him. “Faith Reynolds.”
“Dmitri,” he
replied and briefly shook her hand, letting go as if the contact between them
irritated him.
She frowned
and looked at Tamir before returning her gaze to Muscles. She fisted her hand
to lessen the slight tingling across her skin from the contact with him. Again,
she had the urge to touch him, stroke him.
“No last name?”
“None
needed,” Muscles said. “Why this cave?”
“I’m sorry,
what?”
“Why did you
pick this cave out of all the hundreds on the isle?” he asked in a slightly
lower pitch.
Faith’s
hackles immediately rose, shoving the majority of her lust aside. She didn’t
need to explain herself to anyone. So why she answered him, she’d never know.
“I saw it from shore and wanted a look.”
“There are
five more caves you could’ve seen from shore. Yet you chose this one.”
His blue
eyes were penetrating, as if he were trying to see into her mind. She crossed
her arms over her chest and lifted her chin. “I got lucky. If it hadn’t been
this one, I would’ve moved on to another.”
“So you were
looking for such a skeleton?”
Was that a
hint of mockery in his tone? Oh, I don’t think so! “I’m an archeologist. I look
for anything.”
“Do
archeologists no’ have a specialty?”
“Some, yes.
For its size, this island has been more intensively studied by archeologists
than almost any other area in Scotland.”
“Is that so?”
She let her
confidence show in her smile. “That’s right. Did you know evidence has been
found here to suggest Fair may have been settled by Neolithic people up to five
thousand years ago?”
“And you
came to find more verification?”
“It’s what I
do.” No one was more surprised than she when she’d found the large horn and a
portion of the skull sticking out of the ground.
Dmitri still
hadn’t decided about Faith Reynolds. Her dedication to her job was
unquestioned. He wasn’t accepting her answer of just finding the cave, though.
To have
chosen this cave above any others? This one, which happened to have a dragon
skeleton inside?
While he’d
walked the site after meeting Dr. Reynolds, he overheard conversations. Many of
the volunteers didn’t believe it was a dragon. They suspected it was a new
species of dinosaur. The few locals he saw milling about were curious,
wondering how the new find would help tourism.
He spotted a
few “crazies” as Tamir called them, watching from a distance, but no one got
close. Though he was curious about the two men Tamir had encountered earlier.
The way
Tamir had acted as he spoke about the incident made Dmitri wonder if word
hadn’t somehow reached the Dark Fae.
Or Ulrik.
Once
volunteers began leaving for the night, Dmitri found himself climbing back down
to the cave. He’d expected to find Faith shutting things down for the day, but
she continued to work.
He didn’t
want to be intrigued by her, but he was. If only his fascination had to do with
how she’d found the dragon. He would discover what had led her to the skeleton,
but that wasn’t what kept his gaze
locked on her.
It’s not
what kept his body strung tight as a bow.
She was
average height, but there was nothing typical about her looks. Much to his
dismay. His tastes ran toward the Fae since he preferred to stay away from
humans. Yet, there was no negating the fact that lust burned through his body
from the first moment her sherry eyes
locked with his.
There was a
. . . simplicity about Faith that he appreciated. No makeup was needed to
enhance her natural beauty. At first glance, she seemed almost ditzy since her
mind ran a million miles a second, but her intelligence and zest for life were
apparent with one look.
Her sandy
blond hair hung straight and glossy to her shoulders and was parted to one side
with long bangs that she swiped out of her eyes repeatedly. The locks
tantalized him by exposing the slender column of her neck and the delicate skin
behind her ear.
Unblemished
fair skin beckoned him to touch, to caress.
To lick.
He clenched
his teeth at the need that surged through him. When she turned, he watched the
pulse at her throat and fought the longing to press his lips against it to feel
the warmth of her body.
Her oval
face held a look of innocence and excitement he hadn’t seen in a long time.
While her high cheekbones and sensual mouth added to her beauty, it was her eyes
that caught him. They looked at the world as if it were a large sandbox waiting
to expose its treasures.
His palm
still prickled from their brief touch earlier. The shock that had gone through
him had been electric. The charge surged through him faster than lightning and
left him reeling—and aching for more.
Unable to
look away, he watched as she stood and then bent over at the waist. The sight
of her firm ass high in the air had the blood rushing to his cock. No mortal
had ever had such an effect on him before. It unsettled him—and angered him.
He forced
his eyes away and turned his mind to more pressing matters. He’d been sent
because of the skeleton, but there was something about Faith that didn’t seem
to add up.
The most
important question: how had she known where to look to find the bones?
Faith became
so engrossed in her work that she didn’t hear others talking to her. Even when
Tamir called her name, she was often too preoccupied with digging up the
skeleton.
Dmitri had
watched her for hours. In that time, he’d listened to her hum and watched her
touch the bones with such reverence that it shook him.
Though he’d
come to the cave to watch her, it gave him time with the skeleton, as well. By
the size, he knew it was an adult. Which of his dragons had gotten left behind?
They’d been his responsibility, and he’d failed.
The longer
he stared, the more he felt the weight of regret. The world had been created
for the dragons. It was their birthright, their home.
Yet they
were no longer welcome.
And he
feared nothing would ever change that.
The Dragon
Kings who found mates with human females were lucky. Those mortals welcomed the
dragons and the Kings. But most of the globe was made up of individuals who
wanted nothing more than to destroy the Dragon Kings, imprison them, or run
tests on them.
So he and
the others remained hidden.
But the
dragon inside him—the fierce, savage creature that he was—silently cried out
for revenge. And his family.
