Her idea of a pleasant evening consists of dinner at home with her cats, then turning in early with a hot new romance novel.

But Laura soon learns she’ll be asked to believe more than a few impossible things this morning before breakfast. Robby is a wizard from a parallel world where magic still exists and he’s hot on the trail of a dragon, a particularly nasty creature who’s picked the Florida Everglades as a likely spot to set up housekeeping and raise a brood of dragonlings. If the sexy young wizard can’t convince the dragon to return to their world, he may have no choice but to slay it, and Laura is determined to not let him face that danger alone.
