Aisling Grey has the job from hell - literally. Her career as a courier began and ended when she travelled to Paris to deliver a 600-year old golden dragon statue and learned she was a Guardian - a Keeper of the Gates of Hell. In a local bar she tracks down Drake Vireo, a sexy real-life dragon, who stole this artefact from under her nose. But matters are complicated by Aisling discovering she is also a wyvern's mate - that's to say, the mate of the head dragon - Drake Vireo.
