Grace has survived on sharp wit and quick thinking her entire life. Now, held captive by one of Aidan's own kin, she's got one play: convince her captor she's harmless while her Dragon Mate fights his way to her.
Aidan has protected countless lives over the centuries. But none of those lives were HIS Mate—the fierce, brilliant woman Fate bound to his soul. Now a traitor from his own bloodline has taken her, and this Guardsman will do the unthinkable to get her back.
Stain his hands with the blood of his kin? Done. Break every sacred oath he's ever taken? Without hesitation. Burn down everything he's built to save the woman he loves? He's already striking the match.
Grace's deception buys them time. Aidan's fury buys them a chance. Together, their bond might just buy them a future—if they can survive long enough to claim it.
Some Guardsmen protect the innocent. This one will slaughter his own kin to save his Mate.
Dragon shifters, alpha heroes, and swoon-worthy happily-ever-afters? That's my specialty. I'm Julia Mills, New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author of the Dragon Guard Series, and I believe every woman deserves a love story that makes her heart race.
I'm that sarcastic Southern belle who says, "bless your heart" and means it (mostly). When I'm not writing about impossibly hot book boyfriends, you'll find me with a messy bun, lukewarm coffee, and the inability to say no to anyone who needs help—seriously, my daughters think I have a superhero complex.
Speaking of heroes, I write alpha men who make readers swoon, but the only man who'll ever outrank my fictional book boyfriends is my dad. He set the bar impossibly high, which explains why my heroines demand nothing less than earth-shattering, soul-deep love.
I'm a hopeless romantic who believes in magic, second chances, and that the perfect combination of a good book and great coffee can solve almost anything. My characters always get their happily-ever-afters because, let's be honest, don't we all deserve a little more magic in our lives?

P.S. - Fair warning: my books are addictive. Don't blame me when you're up until 3 AM because "just one more chapter" turned into the entire series.
