The Dragon is in Love with, Me?

Elias, a half-dragon with a brilliant mind and a chilling demeanor, has always kept the world at arm's length. His icy exterior and disdainful gaze are a shield,protecting a shyness he precisely hides from everyone. That shield is severely tested by Milo, a human whose ongoing rudeness and blunt observations are as jarring as they are persistent. Milo, oblivious or perhaps uncaring of Elias's formidable nature, finds himself drawn into the orbit of the enigmatic half-dragon through a series of increasingly bizarre and inconvenient circumstances. As their paths continue to collide, Elias finds himself inexplicably drawn to the human's brash honesty, a stark contrast to the polite fictions he usually encounters. Milo, in turn,begins to see glimpses beyond Elias’s cold facade, discovering a surprising depth and vulnerability beneath the dragon's scales. Can a tentative love bloom between two such disparate souls, especially when one is a proud, reclusive half-dragon and the other can't seem to stop being a complete jerk?
