Dragon King

In a world where the wealthiest shifters trade humans like rare gems, Lilly faces a devastating fate. Her cruel stepmother's schemes have led her to a glittering auction house, where powerful predators bid on the innocent. But Lilly's fierce spirit remains unbroken. Enter Cassius Steele—an ancient Dragon Shifter with lethal power and a dark secret. Cursed and desperate, he's searched centuries for a virgin pure enough to break his deadly bind. When his golden eyes meet Lilly's defiance across the crowd, something shifts. As rival shifters circle like sharks and dark secrets surface, Cassius claims Lilly as his. But the arrangement that begins as transaction ignites into something far more dangerous: a connection that could save them both—or destroy everything they hold dear.
