Born of Air

Quincy O'Brien runs the successful Aerie's Bakery with sister Barb. He's been going through a dry spell, but finds himself more than satiated by Mark Beteferoce, the sexy cop with a taste for raisin doughnuts and a big, shape-shifting secret. Mark is still reeling from the heartbreak of his murdered soulmate Garrett but cannot deny the heat building with the cute redheaded baker. Quincy and Mark succumb to their primal lust almost immediately, but both can feel the twinge of something more. However, when Quincy calls out some mysterious phrases in his sleep, Mark spirals into grief and doubt for his lost love. Is it possible to get a second chance at forever, or is something more sinister at play? Michael (Branded by Flames) has crafted a fast-moving otherworldly tale that offers up naughty sex ridden with gruff dirty talk that also tugs at the heartstrings. Long, clause-laden sentences can add up to a slightly unwieldy read, but the abundance of raunchy fun and dragon lore make it more than worth it.
