I've been rejected my entire life. Pushed around and kicked down. But now I'm doing the impossible: demanding my fated mate fix the mess they left.

This isn't my first trip to The Mating Game stage. Last episode, I crashed the happy couple's final episode and claimed the show's host, Bibi le Bonnet, as my mate-even if she wasn't Bibi when we were forced together. Even if it never felt right. Nothing in my life has been safe since she abandoned me and fled our pack. I want retribution. Then Bibi offers me something better: a chance to find my true mate.

I'll get three questions.

My life has been a non-stop disaster, so I know trouble when I cause it. Danger is hot on my heels and secrets are thick enough to choke on. But thinking I'll abandon the chance of a lifetime? No way. I've survived my pack's rejection by stealing from the rich and dodging capture... Once my enemies see me on screen, I'll need a miracle to get out alive.

Three potential suitors. Enter Aarix Hale. My knight in shining scales is massive, grumpy, and ready to give me a taste of my own medicine. After spending centuries imprisoned inside a mountain, the gorgeous dragon makes an unforgettable entrance to claim what's his. Me. That's what happens when you make promises you never expect to keep. I should be worried, but he's hotter than dragon fire and I'm ready to burn. Except I'm not Aarix's only mission.

And three dates to find my forever. It's my pleasure to show this out-of-touch dragon how to claim me. But Aarix awakens something beyond lust inside me. He marks me with painted scales and they become real. And now I have powers? He insists there are more dragons trapped inside the Rocky Mountains and I'm the key to freeing them. That is, if the creature who kept my dragon from me doesn't get the final say.
