The Dragon's Lair — Lee Magner

DANGER AND DESIRE ...

Art collector Shelby Marlowe had nowhere to turn. Caught in a bitter struggle between warring underworld families--each vying for an ancient jade statue she possessed--her life was in peril. A close encounter with a hit-and-run driver confirmed they'd stop at nothing. That was when hardened, battle-scarred Grant Macklin stepped in and took charge--a ferocious dragon ready to defend her honor.

A warrior with the soul of a poet, Grant was no stranger to brutality and betrayal. He wanted to trust Shelby--but she seemed to be keeping something from him. Which was more dangerous? Their uncertain fate at the hands of the vicious crime lords? Or his riveting attraction to Shelby and the unquenchable fire that threatened to consume them both?
