Taming My Human — Eve Langlais

Can a loner be the hero they need?Being a grumpy ex-soldier means I like being alone. What better place for solitude, far from home and bad memories, than a remote chalet in Italy? Peace and quiet, just what I need to write my next book. You know what they say about best laid plans, right? Somehow I end sheltering a single mom on the run with her kid—and a talking lizard.How the hell did that happen?Guess being ornery doesn't mean I lack a heart because I end up offering them refuge.Nicky and her toddler, escaping an abusive situation and looking for a fresh start.Percy, the reptile who turns out to be a dragon and needs constant feeding and protection.For some reason, they trust me. Me, the man who can't even sleep through the night.Then again, who else better to safeguard than a man who's not afraid to act? I might have retired from action, but that doesn't mean I've forgotten how to track down the enemy and make them pay.If you dare to threaten those I care about, I promise, it will be the last thing you do.* * *
Lucky me, I've found not one but two humans to serve me. Although the big male will take some taming before he shows me the proper respect. But I think he'll be worth the effort. After all, when I need him most, he risks his life without hesitation. As he should. Because after all, there is no one more important than me.
