Leonard — Kathi S. Barton

Leonard Earl wants no part of Rembrandt's rag tag team of saviors. Before the cancer he'd been happy teaching children. But when the mysterious man in black shows up in his hospital room and heals him, he has no choice but to join the group. No one says he has to like it. Jamey has been on her own awhile. It doesn't take her long to figure out she is different, and that the malefactors can't change her into one of them. Since the malefactors have taken over her town, she spends her days picking them off with her bow and arrows, or delivering food and water to the remaining survivors. Jamey's body is also a "host" to a dragon that has been with her for as long as she can remember. He protects her and keeps her safe.... The dragon is leading Jamey to the man he is destined to transfer to. He tells her together they will balance. Jamey is willing to take the dragon wherever he needs to go, but the man she wants no part of.... She will miss her friend. Leo is none too happy to find out that Jamey is bringing the dragon to him and the discovery that she is his mate. He's already had a woman break his heart and wants no part of this mate business. He takes the dragon to save her life, but that's where it ends...or does it? The malefactors are increasing in number and they need to stand together to defeat them. Jamey sees her chance and takes it to defeat their enemy. Will Leo make the ultimate sacrifice to save her? Find out in the next installment of Blood Brotherhood―Leonard.
