Over the last ten years Lachlan MacKintosh has kept his sobriety through hard work, focus, and strict routines. Then he meets one dragonwoman a year prior, a woman with easy smiles and humor, and he starts to wonder if his routines are enough. When hes assigned a major project on Lochguard, one to bring together human and dragon artists, hes forced to live with the dragon-shifters and work with the woman who caught his eye all those months ago. He tries to resist her, knowing temptation could be his downfall. But instead he falls more under her charm with each passing day, making him wonder if hes strong enough to overcome his demons so he can have her.
Despite Cat MacAllisters never-ending schedule of helping her family, art is her true passion and so when shes asked to help with a major human-dragon art collective, she jumps at the chance. The only downside is the human male in chargehes the one she met the year before and has been constantly sketching every since. She attempts to keep their relationship professional, but soon she asks him to kiss her, changing her life forever.
As the pair try to figure out if they fit together, they not only have to face Lachlans past but a new threat emerges before the start of the art project. Will they find a way to stay together, or will Lachlan have to give up everything to protect those he cares about
