Novelette (7.5K-17.5K)

Lucy love presenting on the UK's no.1 ghost hunting show. She believes in the paranormal, only she never expected it to be quite so real.

The dragon-shifter Ahiana has challenged Drage over the death of her sister, and although he initially refused her challenge, her attack on Oli has ignited Drage's fury. As dragons battle above The Manor, Lucy must keep the rest of her family safe.

With danger on the horizon, Oli and Drage, and Josh and Pippa enjoy some downtime, but it can't last. When Drage can no longer run from his past those at The Manor must unite to prevent a devastating outcome.

Oli and Josh, Fuyuko and Paden, both unlikely pairings for defending The Manor, but sometimes thinking outside the box is what is needed. While half-fae and werewolf plot magical games, yuki-onna and kelpie consider more elemental matters.

Josh and Pippa use the power of the full moon to investigate what happened between them when Oli was helping Josh explore his sexual preferences. This leads to new revelations that could have serious implications for the safety of The Manor.

Oli asks about Drage's first meeting with Lucy and his mate regales him with a tale of adventure he had not been expecting. The coming together of a dragon and a succubus was bound to be spectacular and gave them a lasting connection.

Fuyuko goes to Lucy because of a confusing dream. She must figure out if it is a warning. She also has a new young client who seems strangely reluctant to indulge in her company once she meets him.

Oli offers to help Josh discover if he is simply bi-curious or actually bisexual, as well as maybe honing his magical control in sexual situations. It could turn out to be extremely useful, or complicate what Josh is trying to do transitioning to the sexy side of The Manor.

Lucy must seek the help of an old acquaintance in London to discover if the power spike Drage & Oli generated was noticed beyond the confines of The Manor. She must use her body to generate the powerful magic she will exchange as payment for the vital information.

The protections to keep Drage's dragon-shifter secret are in place. The only things remaining between him and Oli joining together as mates are a little more patience and Oli's self-doubt. Only complete commitment from both of them will bring their love to its ultimate completion.
