"A mate was the last gift Dragon Shifter Frankie expected for Christmas!" Although she was told by her Oracle Dragon Shifter Aunt as a child that she would end up marrying an adversary, Francesca "Frankie" Rivers refuses to believe it.

She knows of him because his Snowdragon Shifter Clan and her own Crimson Dragon Clave are sworn enemies. As they squabble over the same rescue pet, he exhibits every loathsome trait she despises in the opposite sex, and even exhibits a few unique ones! Will she be persuaded by the FLAMES of fate, or will the discovery of a new and unexpected lover she has unwittingly let into her home tip the SCALES?
