    About this ebook

    Let the good times roll. The most explosive couple NOLA's ever seen is finally back together. Let's just pray they stay that way…and don't kill each other in the process.

    Whether he's up to his armpits in alligators or traipsing around the world, Rene Malveaux - aka King - always protects his Queen. A whole lotta dead Shifters and more on the way may not sound like the serenade for a love story to anyone else, but this is the Big Easy, Baby.

    Bossy, stubborn, and hot as homemade sin, Cilla fell in love with his scaly behind when they were just kids. And all this time later, not one damn thing has changed. But it's 'standing room only' in the morgue with a Shifter war brewing just outside the door. Love's just gonna have to wait.

    Ain't nobody gonna burn down Cilla's city. Even if she has to call her Daddy the Demon to smite a few fur-covered asses.

    Watch out, Fate. Grab your Mardi Gras beads, Destiny. The Big Easy ain't so easy anymore.

      ORIGINAL LANGUAGE OF THE DRAGON KIN

      King Outta Water

      Mo Chroí……….My Heart

      Mo Gráh……….My Love

      Mo Shíorghrá……….My Eternal Love

      PROLOGUE

      Senses instantly on high alert, drawn to the delicious scent of honeysuckle and vanilla, the Water Dragon felt pleasantly sloshed, satisfyingly high, and happily hungover in the blink of an eye. Never one to be overly attracted to sweet-smelling fragrances, Rene, better known as King, was instantly punch-drunk as the amazing aroma permeated the murky waters of the swamp, making a beeline for his soul. Dancing a dangerous tango over his senses and igniting a fire in the belly of both man and Beast, he was sure he’d fallen asleep and slipped into a once-in-a-lifetime-dream-come-true.

      And I’m never wakin’ up…ever.

      Sure, he was on assignment. He should be focusing on the task at hand. No doubt about it, he needed to find a hint, a clue, or a wild-ass idea instead of drooling over the woman who had most assuredly just fallen from Heaven. But what was he doing? He was ogling every inch of her fantastic body.

      Snap out of it, Asshole, he scolded himself. She's not the first woman whose ever caught your eye.

      No, but she's damn sure the best lookin’.

      And Gil will kick your ass if you don’t come up with something sooner rather than later.

      Earlier in his life, carrying on a full-blown conversation with himself would’ve had him dialing 911 and waiting on the curb for the guys with the straight jackets. But those times were long gone. Talking to himself had become an everyday occurrence and was what he attributed his present state of almost sane to. Well, that and his new job.

      Being an agent in the Dragon Protection Agency was nothing short of a godsend. One-hundred-and-ten percent better than the bullshit therapy sessions ordered by the Navy. It allowed him to not only once again be part of a Force with the Dragon Guard, but to also work through the metric ton of mental baggage from his multiple tours of duty as a SEAL.

      And this way, he still felt useful. Like he was making a real difference in the world. Add to it that the DPA’s Leader understood Rene’s need to work alone and, well, it was better than sweet potato pie covered in whipped cream on a hot summer day.

      Undercover, playing badass outlaw in his old stomping grounds, his first case was to locate the Congregation of Gator Shifters responsible for using stolen Voodoo to create designer drugs aimed explicitly at Shifters. And it didn't end there.

      Not only were the bastards targeting the ‘more-money-than-sense echelon’ of the Paranormal community, but their fucked up mixture of super-charged Ecstasy, GHB, and Ketamine with a chaser of thousand-year-old Louisiana VooDoo was leaving a trail of bodies from one side of The Big Easy to the other. The only problem was, he'd been swimming through the gloomy bayous for damn near two months without seeing hide nor tail of any Gator he didn't personally know was good people. Talk about irritated, tired, and fed up ~ Rene was all of that and more.

      Drawn to the surface by the new alluring arrival to the Swamp, the mossy-green and golden scales of his Dragon, donning his aquatic shape, skimmed the water’s surface. Drop-dead gorgeous with curves like a country back road, her long golden-blond curls hung in tight ringlets around her heart-shaped face. Dammit all, if she wasn’t prettier than a picture.

      But still, there was something about her that made him antsy in a really, really good way. Not to mention his Dragon’s immediately and darn near uncontrollable need to get ‘up close and personal’ with the beautiful lady.

      Forcing himself to hang back and tread water, Rene watched closely as the object of his instant desire carefully took a seat on the grassy bank and tipped her toes
