BURN MY HEART
DRAGONS OF BLOOD AND BONE #1
My dragon chose him as my lifemate. I chose to run.
Twenty years ago, I fled my Blood Dragon clan in Sweden and my ex-boyfriend Bjorn Magnussen—the fierce Kingsguard Captain whose dragon resonates with mine in an unbreakable life-bond. I built a new life in Paris as Head of the Guard at the Red Letter Hotel, burying my past and the Bloodwalker power I was born to wield.
But an uncontrolled shift into my dragon sends me home to Stockholm with prophetic warnings about an ancestral evil. A catastrophic blast connects my shift to forbidden Bone Magic and my family crest, making me the prime suspect.
It also draws the attention of the Black Dragon Knights, the secret society that rules us. Their ultimatum: find the real culprits or be exiled from my clan forever.
To clear my name, I must embrace my Bloodwalker magic—a power so overwhelming it requires multiple Bloodmates to control it. Bjorn is furious. He wants to be my only mate, but my magic demands more; as another drake enters our bond, jealousy, desire, and dragon instinct collide.
As an unstoppable evil rises, I must navigate possessive alphas, deadly conspiracies, and the magnetic pull of fated mates. Because my situation is clear as the clock runs out: bond with multiple drakes and unlock the power that terrifies me.
Or watch everything I love burn.
Perfect for fans of spicy dragon shifter romance, fated mates, and fierce heroines who bow to no one, Burn My Heart is a scorching slow-burn paranormal romance with multiple mates, featuring:
A badass Blood Dragon FMC with deadly magic
Enemies-to-lovers tension that ignites the page

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM THE DRAGONS OF BLOOD AND BONE?
❤️ What’s the relationship pairing in this series?
This series is a reverse harem with some MM content. I write Why Choose romance, where the relationship focuses on the heroine, but occasionally, the heroes interact, or have a prior relationship.
🌶️ What’s the spice level and “burn” pace?
A: Five-chillies hot! There are between 1-3 graphic sex scenes in each book (sometimes more!). The romance is slow-burn, as the heroine takes one mate into her harem per book, though there are definitely spicy scenes in book one.
🐉 Is the heroine human and does this take place in the human world?
A: No. The heroine knows she is a dragon and lives in a portal world next-door to ours, the Twilight Realm. The Twilight Realm is like our world but magical, and the entire story takes place there.
📕 How detailed is the writing and what’s the feel of these books?
A: The writing is descriptive, like a “movie in your mind”, though I keep the pace moving and the love scenes hot. The feel is adventurous, blistering, dangerous, political, wild, and deeply loving.
👩🏻🦰 Are these books intended for adults or teenagers?
A: I write for the 25+ crowd, with adult issues, deep romance, and committed love. The main heroine is in her early 30s.
🤖 Do you use AI when writing?
A: No! I write all my books without AI. I use AI spelling and grammar checks in the final edit, but these books are 100% human-written and therefore, entirely unique.
👊🏻 Is there any bullying?
A: No. The relationships are supportive, committed, and deeply loving, even if there is contention, growing stronger together by the hardships they go through.
"Full of mystery, suspense, magic and romantic tension that only a masterful author like Ms. Ward can achieve." - b_walla, BookBub
