Kalv left the dragon world of Paladin when he lost his mate in a fierce battle over one hundred years ago. Living in the mortal world wearing his human skin he grieved. Until loneliness and a longing for his kind made him open the doorway to home and found it locked. Knowing his heart was the key to opening the doorway he thought it a futile prospect. There was no way he could love again, no way home. Then he met Ginna Masters, a feisty ebony goddess who lived on a ranch on the outskirts of a small Texas town. They wanted her land, and from the time he saw her fighting them alone in the middle of the night, Kalv intended to stay until she won the battle. Who knew her soft kisses and sweet whispers while she was in his arms would cause a miraculous thing. A man thought shattered and broken by tragedy forever began to heal. Could she be the one to give a dragon back a treasure more prized then gold....his heart?
