ON HIATUS - The writer is taking a break from this story. It is incomplete. Fiona never felt like she belonged to the modern day world. So when an enchanted gem sends her to another time and place, where vicious beasts and dragons lurk she has no trouble facing her new reality.
What surprises her the most is that the devilishly handsome man she mistakes for a barbaric beast, is really a dragon knight, a hero and protector in this new world.
Withdrawn from society, since a failed marraige and death of his wife, Tiamat had become a notorious recluse, showing interest in little besides his obession of owning his own keep and training the men necessary to retain and defend the castle. 
Then, while on one of his scouting missions he spots something glistening beneath the deep blue waters, he chances upon a breathtaking beauty dressed in clothes not from his world. 
Despite his suspicions, she awakens his lonely heart to desire a future he never thought could be his.
A modern beauty and a mysterious dragon knight, Fiona and Tiamat are both trying to escape painful pasts, perhaps they can find redemption and love in each other's arms if their enemies don't kill them first.

Tempted By Dragons

"Zoe, some letters came for you today. I put them over there on the table," said her cousin Samantha as she pointed in the direction of her dining table. She continued speaking, "I really hope one of them is a job offer. You're my cousin and I love you but I barely have enough money to cover my own expenses, much less look after you right now."

Zoe Kincaid didn't comment, just went and rested the groceries on the kitchen counter before reaching for the stack of letters from off the table. She really hoped her luck would change soon as she was getting tired of Samantha's nagging and complaints.

Since the responsibilities of ensuring that they had food to eat and the apartment was kept clean fell squarely on Zoe's shoulders she failed to see how Samantha was taking care of her. It was more like the other way around as Samantha was useless both inside and out of the kitchen.
