Title: Loyal Dragon Shifter (Return of the Dragons Book 1)

He's just an ordinary dragon shifter, she's just a small town librarian. Together they could end a 300 year war, but only if they don't fall in love

With his clan is hunted by a powerful enemy bent on revenge, Jayrian knows he has to do something, even if it means defying the council of elders. He's willing to risk his life - but how about hers?

Gretchen isn't ambitious. She loves being a small town librarian, she experiences plenty of adventures in the books she shelves. Not that she wouldn't mind a bit of adventure with the hot man visiting the library on a mysterious mission. 

Gretchen may seem shy and quiet, but as Jayrian gets to know her, he discovers she's also brave and determined. She's just the person to help him. And everything he can't have if he's going to save his clan.

Loyal Dragon Shifter is a delightful paranormal romance, with a little bit of action. If you like hot dragon heroes, the strong women who mate them, and a heartwarming HEA, then you'll love joining Rinelle Grey's growing clan of satisfied readers.

Title: Christmas Miracle in July

 

Christmas is full of magic, experience miracles all year round in Christmas Town!

Christmas is full of magic, but miracles come year-round in Christmas Town as this cast of characters fumbles through bombshells in every season!

--Abigail's Targeted Tip:

Don’t tell readers who your characters aren’t, tell them who they are. 

“Gretchen isn't ambitious.” - Is she lazy? Is she content with where she is? Only narrowing things down.
