Heart of the Trove by Robin Clearbrook

Stealing from a dragon means death. Falling in love with one could be even worse.

In a city ruled by dragons, blacksmith Lydia lives with a secret that could spell her doom. She can steal their magic, and if she drops her guard, her only fate is a painful death.

That’s why she plans to stay far away from them. Especially from Zephyr, the handsome and infamous dragon prince, everything she hates and fears. The same prince whose nose she breaks with a punch.

When the dragon prince begins spying on her every move, and she’s caught in a scheme that could end the king’s life, her secret comes to light.

The prince gives Lydia a choice: be his personal blacksmith and help him save his father, or die.

With sixty days left to craft the perfect sword while forced to live at the royal castle, Lydia will soon learn Zephyr won't let her go without a fight. Especially not when he looks at her like she's part of his trove already.

And when her hatred for the prince risks becoming something much more dangerous, she will need to remember that a dragon’s wrath leaves nothing in its wake…
