Dragon Touched, the first book of the standalone Dark Hearts Enchanted series, twists The Princess and the Pea fairytale into a fun, spicy adventure filled with a dark wizard, one sassy mafia princess, and a baby dragon with attitude.
Sacha Ninnette, daughter of Chicago's most ruthless mob lord "Vicious" Vito Ninnette—King of the Mafiosos—is a caged princess. Forced into a pre-arranged marriage with the head of another cartel, she flees the wedding and ends up in a raging thunderstorm.
Stumbling upon an old decrepit tower, she takes refuge from the storm. The rude, strange owner of the dwelling, Finley Marin, blackmails Sacha into staying the evening. The longer she weathers the dark night with Fin, the more she suspects he holds his own secrets. With one touch, he awakens her body and heart.
To return to his world of magic, Finley Marin needs a princess. How fitting the daughter of his enemy should arrive on his doorstep like a willing sacrifice. There's just one problem—the little mafia princess is weaving her own kind of spell over his heart, threatening well-laid plans for retribution and jeopardizing the chance of returning to his world.
