Desire doesn’t have an expiration date.
I write stories about smart, grown-ass women and the monsters who worship them.
What if Pretty Woman met an ancient dragon?
Charlie Farris agrees to one night, one carefully defined arrangement with a man who lives in a world far removed from hers.
Wealthy. Powerful. Untouchable. Zhao Yanxu is a golden dragon with a singular purpose: recover what was stolen from his people and return home.
He doesn’t do distractions. He doesn’t do attachments. And he does not make mistakes… Until Charlie.
What begins as a transaction becomes something neither of them understands, and one devastating misunderstanding threatens to destroy it before it can become real.
And Zhao is about to learn that wanting something… and choosing someone… are not the same thing.
Chosen by the Dragon is coming May 2026!
