Dylan Dragon Hearts 4

DYLAN is the 4th book in USA Today Bestselling and Amazon #1 Bestselling Indie Author, Carole Mortimer’s, paranormal series, DRAGON HEARTS. Author’s Note: Beware of very sexy alpha dragon shifters on the hunt for their fates mates! Waking up in a curtained cubicle in a human hospital wasn’t the worst experience Dylan had ever had in his centuries-long existence, but it was certainly not something he would ever have expected to happen. As a dragon shifter, human ailments didn’t bother him, and if he was ever injured then transforming into his dragon would heal him. Besides, he and his brothers had always avoided human hospitals because the doctors there had a habit of carrying out tests and asking for X-rays that would clearly tell them the Pendragon brothers weren’t human. Opening his eyes to find his fated mate bending over him, his human fated mate, was even more of a shock. Yes, three of his brothers had found their fated mates in the past year, and they had all been human, but Dylan had never thought it would happen to him too. Holly Barnes wasn’t only human, the name tag attached to her white coat said she was also a doctor. And the singular most beautiful woman Dylan had ever seen, with her glossy auburn hair, dark green eyes, and voluptuous body. A & E doctor, Holly Wilson, didn’t know what to make of her newest patient. Apart from the fact he was the most gorgeous and sexy man she had ever set eyes on. He was also extremely tall, over six and a half feet of dark and dangerous bad boy, if her assessment was correct. But she hadn’t been able to find any visible injuries on him when she examined that ripped and toned body, no head injury or anything else to explain why he had been unconscious when he was brought in to A&E. He looked perfectly normal to her, almost as if he was sleeping, rather than injured. Having him suddenly raise his eyelids and look at her with glittering blue eyes, that didn’t appear fevered or pained, but gazed up at her as if she was Christmas, birthdays, and every other holiday celebration combined, was more than a little unnerving. Even more so was having his fingers curl like steel bands about her wrist and have him call her his fated mate. Holly had enough problems in her life right now without some crazy man telling her she now belonged to him. Even if he did look like a Greek or Roman god and made her knees go weak. Until Dylan knew what had happened to put him in the human hospital in the first place, he knows he shouldn’t even think about claiming Holly as his mate. Staying away from his fated mate altogether proves impossible, but is Dylan putting Holly’s life in danger by continuing to seek her out at every opportunity?

AERAN & RHYS is the 7th and last took book in USA Today and Amazon #1 Bestselling Author, Carole Mortimer’s, paranormal dragon shifter series, DRAGON HEARTS. Author’s Note: Beware of very sexy alpha dragon shifters on the hunt for their fated mates! What happens when two dragon shifters, even two dragon shifter brothers, discover they have the same fated mate? Everyone knows dragons don’t share. Especially two such different dragon shifters as Aeran & Rhys Pendragon. Aeran is tech savvy, a man of the 21st century, and Rhys is still the warrior he has been for the past sixteen centuries, living by the code of kill or be killed. Even more troublesome, their fated mate is the daughter of the man Aeran and Rhys helped condemn to death after he tried to kill the fated mate of their eldest brother, Grigor. Cristina doesn’t know who she can trust when she finds herself alone and unprotected in London after her father’s disappearance. She daren’t accept the help of Aeran and Rhys Pendragon when they suddenly appear in her life. She doesn’t know either man, and her father never mentioned knowing them either, so who are they and what do they want from her? Unfortunately she doesn’t have any choice but to accept Aeran and Rhys’s protection after an attempt is made on her life. Finding herself suddenly alone with these two handsome and totally different men, Cristina quickly realizes she’s attracted to both of them. Aeran and Rhys make it obvious they return that attraction. Cristina has no idea how she is supposed to choose between these two intensely determined men. She’s even more confused when they assure her she doesn’t have to, and ready to run when they explain the reason why she doesn’t.

DRAGON REUNION is the 8th and last took book in USA Today and Amazon #1 Bestselling Author, Carole Mortimer’s, paranormal dragon shifter series, DRAGON HEARTS. When billionaire Maddox Wilder’s helicopter develops engine problems it forces the pilot to make an emergency landing in North Wales. With a heavy layer of snow on the ground, and a temperature approaching zero, Maddox seeks shelter in the local inn after his pilot volunteers to wait for the arrival of an engineer needed to make the necessary repairs. But Maddox doesn’t remain at the inn for long, somehow feeling himself drawn toward Pendragon Castle perched high up on a nearby snow-covered mountain. Which is odd in itself, because the castle isn’t shown in any of the maps for the area Maddox brings up on line. But the innkeeper assures him that Pendragon Castle exists and has been the property of the Pendragon family for centuries. Within minutes Maddox finds himself standing at the bottom of that mountain, staring up at the medieval fortress, unable to resist that almost magnetic pull drawing him closer and closer. Carys Evans is acting as temporary housekeeper for the Pendragon family while her mother recovers from having an operation and Carys can find a fulltime job of her own. It’s as well the job at the castle is only temporary because Carys is a disaster at it. She’s too young, too trusting, too outgoing, too everything for the very private Pendragon family. When the very tall, very dark, and extremely handsome Maddox Wilder comes calling Carys is instantly aware of the fierce and immediate attraction burning between the two of them, her whole body suddenly feeling alive and responsive in a way it never has before. The Pendragon brothers are less impressed with their visitor but refuse to allow Maddox Wilder to leave until he has explained exactly what he’s doing visiting their castle. There is no way Maddox is going to confide in the arrogant Pendragon brothers that the ‘voice in his head’ told him to come here. Just as that same voice is now telling him that Carys Evans is the woman he has waited his whole life to meet and that she belongs to him. Maddox quickly realizes the Pendragon brothers are hiding a secret that is even more shocking than his own. A secret that totally rocks Maddox’s world and draws him relentlessly toward the truth of who and what he really is.

GARRETT is the 6th book in USA Today and Amazon #1 Bestselling Author, Carole Mortimer’s, paranormal dragon shifter series, DRAGON HEARTS. Author’s Note: Beware of very sexy alpha dragon shifters on the hunt for their fated mates! Garrett Pendragon and his seven brothers are all Welsh dragon shifters. He's been alive for over sixteen hundred years, fighting alongside his brothers through the centuries, and enjoying as many beautiful women as he could along the way. Five of his brothers might have found their fated mates in the last year but Garrett is more than happy to live another sixteen hundred years exactly as he has been, thank you very much. That all changes the moment he meets Billie Rider and recognises her as his fated mate. Except his beautiful mate has been sentenced to die, for having attempted to kill Gayle, his brother Grigor’s fated mate, and stealing from the Russian bratva. Both under instruction from the Romanian mafia, who are also now anxious to eliminate her. But things aren’t always what they appear to be, and it’s up to Garrett to prove Billie’s innocence, to his brothers and the Russian bratva, if he wants their help keeping his mate alive. Garrett isn’t sure which is going to be more difficult, saving Billie from all the people that want her dead, or convincing this feisty woman she’s his fated mate.

Single, charming, sophisticated and wealthy, Rourke Steele has zero interest in falling in love or having a relationship. He’d decided that long before the young and beautiful Sophie Hammond walked into his life three years ago. He has the perfect life, working for the security company owned by all six of the Steele brothers, and dating and bedding as many beautiful women as he wants. Why ruin that by settling for one woman? What does it matter if every time he sees Sophie Hammond he wants to drag her off to his bed and do wicked things to that delectable body? It just means he’s a normal red-blooded man, right? Wrong. Because when Sophie is attacked at a wedding they are both attending Rourke doesn’t hesitate to step in and defend her. To hell with his usual charm and sophistication, Sophie is his, damn it. His! Falling instantly and irrevocably in love with one of her six bosses probably wasn’t the wisest thing Sophie had ever done. It wasn’t the worst thing she had ever done either. No, that prize went to trying to sort out her father’s mess without alerting any of the Steele brothers, but most especially Rourke, to what was going on. Something that is no longer an option when she’s attacked while attending the wedding of Logan Steele, Rourke’s twin brother, and Rourke is the one who comes to her rescue. Grateful as she is for that intervention Sophie has no intention of allowing Rourke to just step in and try to take over her life. Never mind that his kisses make her head spin and her knees weak. She’s a big girl and can take care of her own mess, thank you very much. Fireworks will ignite the sky and inanimate objects fly before these two stubborn people admit to their feelings for each other. Author’s Note: Beware of the very sexy & very alpha Steele brothers. These books are HOT!

As soon as Kate sets eyes on Zander Buchanan, six and a half feet of tattooed muscle and attitude, she realizes the man now in charge of protecting her is more of danger to her, and her heart, than her ex could ever be.

From Kate, and the desire that burns out of control whenever the two of them are alone together.

THE GUARDIAN (Ruthless Regency Dukes 4) is the fourth book in USA Today and Amazon International #1 Bestselling Author, Carole Mortimer’s, NEW Regency Romance series. Hunter St. John, the Duke of Lincoln, is far too busy hunting the person who murdered one of his closest friends to deal with the problem of his young ward, Miss Evelyn Gardener. Indeed, for the most part he chooses to forget her very existence. That is made easier by the fact he sent her, along with her governess, to his remotest ducal estate in Yorkshire years ago and has seen very little of her since. Receiving a missive from that governess, informing him that his young ward has run away, is not only inconvenient to his own plans but disobedient in the extreme on hers. Something Miss Evelyn Gardener will soon learn to her detriment. Once Hunter has succeeded in finding her, of course… Evie is tired of living in the country and being ignored by her guardian, the toplofty Duke of Lincoln. To that end she has decided to travel to London and make him acknowledge that, at nineteen years of age, she is no longer a child for him to ignore. It is hardly her fault if, on the long journey to England’s capital, she is waylaid and captured by a group of footpads. Nor, when she hears those men discussing demanding a ransom from her guardian in exchange for her release, is she at all sure the Duke of Lincoln will bother himself to pay that ransom. Indeed, she believes the duke might happily wash his hands of her. When the two of them do finally meet again sparks certainly do fly, but not of the kind either of them had expected…
