Nash Cole went into the blowup for his brother and came out something else.
Eleven seasons on a hotshot crew taught him fire. It didn't teach him why the burn scar on his chest started itching, why his eyes flash gold, or why the woman who pulled him out of the black looks at him like he's the answer to a hundred-year-old question.
Sera Vane has been running from the Vigil for a century. She knows what Nash is becoming, because she watched it happen to herself. The fever is coming for him, and when it takes him, he'll need a claim strong enough to anchor him, or the fire will burn him hollow.
But the Vigil doesn't want him dead. They want him alive, in a cage, and they'll burn down everything he loves to get him there.
Sera has one law left: a refused bite can never be retried. A no is forever. What she and Nash have is not a no.
FIRST MARK is the first book in the EMBERBOUND dragon-shifter romance series. Explicit, adult, consensual. Claiming, biting, and bonds sealed in fire.
