    About this ebook

    To escape from her controlling ex-boyfriend, Margaret “Molly” Foreman returns to Oak Hollow, only to be reunited with her childhood bully. Tristan Cadreinth is the son of a prominent dragon shifter family in town, and he used to love picking on her. When Molly has a problem, she hesitates to ask the police for help, because Tristan has become a detective Oak Hollow. It doesn’t matter that Tristan has grown into Mr. Tall, Dark and Delicious with a sexy body and killer smile. The day she asks for Tristan’s help will be the day pigs fly. Like never!

    Tristan Cadreinth has harbored a crush for Molly since kindergarten. As a boy, he didn’t know how to express his feelings. Now that his dream girl has returned home, he intends to make Molly his. Her lush figure and dangerous curves alone are enough to make the dragon inside him ravenous with desire. And Molly is the embodiment of the damsel-in-distress he desperately wants to protect.

    As much as she hates to admit it, Molly finds herself becoming drawn to Tristan. Despite the imminent danger that lurks around them, the attraction between them engulfs their old wounds in scorching flames. Burn, baby, burn…

      Chapter One

      Once upon a time, there was an asshole named Tristan.

      He was the sole heir of Oak Hollow’s wealthiest family—the Cadreinth— who owned half the land and businesses in town. Molly went to school with him and, long story short, he’d made her life a living hell. At a very young age, Tristan had mastered the science of assholery, bullying her on a daily basis. Ten years had passed since Molly had left Oak Hollow for Hollywood the day after high school graduation. When she stepped into Oak Hollow’s police department, she didn’t expect to see that Tristan had become one of the detectives.

      He had been a good looking boy when they were growing up, but now Tristan was stunning. He was about 6’5" with a solid, muscular body. His dark suit molded to his sturdy frame like a pair of gloves. He wore a loose Ralph Lauren tie over his unbuttoned collar. He rolled up his sleeves, exposing muscular arms.

      There was a puzzled look on his face before recognition washed over him. His green eyes twinkled at the sight of her. My, my, what a treat! Margaret Foreman in the flesh. I didn’t expect to see you again. Tristan Cadreinth grinned.

      The sentiment is mutual. Molly craned her neck, scanning the surroundings. She had been seated in the waiting room for more than thirty minutes before she was called in by the cop who manned the front desk. Is there any other detective besides you who can help me? The Oak Hollow precinct looked like a graveyard. And this was a weekday.

      Why are you so hostile? I’m not going to bite you. Tristan pulled a chair across from her and sat down. His skin was darker than she remembered, and his copper brown hair was cut very short. His badge strapped on his belt, gleaming. As you can see, we’re short-staffed, and I’m the only detective at the moment. Jack of all trades. I handle murder cases to bad checks.

      Molly straightened her posture. "Yeah, I’m curious about that. Why are you here?"

      I work here.

      Why do you work in this place? Isn’t your family loaded?

      Why? Just because my family’s wealthy, I’m not allowed to work as an officer of the law?

      Molly watched him with great distrust. While he might have grown up to be a devastatingly hot guy with a come hither smile that could charm every woman within a ten-foot radius, she hadn’t forgotten the way Tristan had made her school days like going into the battlefield every day. She had been paranoid enough to always scout around to see if Tristan was nearby. She preferred to avoid him whenever she could.

      Tristan picked on her for everything. His hobby was to make her cry. Strangely, Tristan could act normal with anybody else. In fact, most people adored him.

      Why wouldn’t they? Tristan was very good looking, bright, athletic and easygoing. Moreover, he came from a full-blooded dragon shifter family. Oak Hollow was one of a few cities in the Midwest where the eldritch community had made a home. And for a quarter-blooded mutt like Molly, that status made her a lesser citizen in this town.

      Molly fidgeted in her seat. There was a uniformed sergeant in front at reception, a matronly-looking woman who seemed to be a dispatcher, and that was about it. Molly wouldn’t come here if she didn’t have to, but she was in trouble, and she feared for her life.

      Tell you what, I’ll make you a cup of coffee, then you can tell me what brings you here, said Tristan jovially. "How does that sound? To be honest, I’m surprised. I
