Soul of Smoke - Caitlyn McFarland

Twenty-four-year-old Kai Monahan had a promising future, once. Then came the mistake. The fallout. Now a law school dropout, Kai spends her days rock climbing, where the only life she can ruin is her own.

Until a handful of renegade dragons ruins it first.

Kidnapped to save her own life after accidentally witnessing-and helping in-a dragon battle high in the Rocky Mountains, Kai is thrown into a hidden world where magic is real, shifters live among us, and dragons transform into gorgeous men with the weight of the world on their shoulders and breath-stealing starfire blue eyes.

Trapped, hunted, and forced to lie low in a cave that hides the history of his once-great people, Rhys and the other dragon shifters swear they'll get Kai home soon.

Then, the worst happens: a chance brush of skin against skin binds Rhys to Kai. Only him. Agonizing fire tears through his body when she's not near. Unless Kai completes the bond, Rhys will lose himself.

Haunted by the fate of his father, all Rhys wants is a mate who chooses him of her own free will; but all Kai wants is to be free. If she knew his fate, she'd bond with him out of pity. Rhys would rather die.

If only he wasn't so much more important to the fate of the world than Kai can possibly guess.
