Corin and the Courtier

Most people run away from ferocious beasts, not headlong into their beds… Threatened with an arranged marriage to a cruel lord who despises him, Aster claims the protection of the one man no one will dare to challenge: Sir Corin, disgraced dragon knight…and the man Aster's sister betrayed so publicly that he fled the court for a gloomy, isolated mountain hideaway. But Aster didn't plan to be stranded there with one bed between them—or to give in to years of longing and beg for the monster's forbidden touch. Corin's no one's hero, not anymore—especially Aster's. But when a royal decree makes Aster the prize for any predatory knight who can defeat him in single combat, Corin can't seem to let him go, even though he knows the price for keeping Aster forever is more than he's willing to pay… This spicy, steamy, M/M paranormal fantasy romance features a pair of star-crossed opposites, some silliness involving a lack of pants at unexpected moments, plenty of dirty talk, and knotting (but no mpreg). HEA guaranteed.
