Why? The death of her lover has left her alone, with little memory of her past. A glimmering serpent-shaped ring is the one clue she has—and a bargaining chip in a most dangerous game…

Together they’re riding a tide of danger, magic and lust…but with killers stalking their every move, they must use any means necessary, even each other, to survive—until the shocking secret of one woman’s destiny finally unravels…

Destiny is a half air dragon and half sea dragon who’s just escaped from a facility that’s been kidnapping and experimenting on dragons. The Air dragon she escaped with is dead and Destiny now meets his brother Trae – who she’s very attracted to.
She needs to go back and rescue her mother and the other kids at the facility - while evading the hunters after her, meet her dying father, and outsmart a sexy air-dragon with an agenda of his own.
This is a nice story. Its pretty simplistic, no great writing here. But I liked it anyway – and that has a lot to do with Destiny and Trae – both strong individuals and amazing together. One thing this duo have going for them is great dialogue –

Destiny: “Look, I don’t want to get you into trouble—”
Trae: “Well, good, because I can manage that quite well by myself.”

When the hunters are chasing them :
Destiny: “Then what are we going to do if we can’t outrun them?”
Trae: “Outsmart them. You feel like breakfast?”
Destiny: I blinked. “You can’t stop and eat breakfast at a time like this!”
Trae: “You tell me where in the rule book it says I can’t, and I’ll obey.”

There was much more and better stuff, but my pizza’s waiting and I’m hungry..Pick this one up for a feel good read.
