He'd sworn to do everything he could to protect his brothers…

Dragon-shifter Ruggar had done everything he could to keep his brothers safe, even hiding a darker truth about his time with the king, but when he discovers his mate trapped in a car accident, everything changes. If he doesn't shift in public, he'll lose his one shot at true love.

Toby Gibbs bailed during a family vacation to take up with a man he thought would be the love of his life only to discover he'd imprisoned himself with an abusive and cruel bully.

When a golden haired man appears determined to save him, Toby wants to believe his life can be different, but how can he trust he isn't just going from the frying pan right into the fire?

Terrified that he's exposed his brothers by transforming in front of witnesses, Ruggar must first take care of his mate, a man with a past similar to his own. Together they can heal, but Ruggar must allow Toby to set the pace of their mating. He's pleased when Toby makes great strides, but when his brother's time to release his egg arrives, will the resulting chaos push his fragile mate away?
