The Legend of the Twin Dragons

When Veria Laurelgate’s father dies in disgrace, he leaves her a failing estate and questions no one will answer.

Shunned by society and stripped of respectable marriage prospects, Veria has one option left to save her family’s legacy: earn a powerful position within the royal court. To do that, she must train the rare elemental skill she inherited from her father-the ability to sense lies among truth.

But when her training begins to uncover secrets surrounding her father’s death, Veria’s search for answers leads her to Strelzar Plazic, a dangerous and tempting master of Fire, an element that thrives on desire and deception.

What Veria learns when she’s under Strelzar’s ward not only changes her, but shapes her into something new. Something the world has never seen before. Something powerful.

But power always comes with a price.

And Fire always burns…

These Scandalous Flames is a medium-burn, high-spice fantasy romance featuring an age gap, a mentor-protégé relationship, and elemental magic. It is the first book in a series and ends with a mild cliffhanger.
