Other aspiring Knights of Atlantis get epic quests battling monsters. Seventh Novice? She gets sent to a strip club. If she's to achieve her dream of becoming a Knight-the first and only one who isn't a sea dragon-Seven has no choice but to grit her teeth and take the assignment. Joe, the infamous Crown Prince of Atlantis, is partying in Las Vegas when he should be rejoining his wildland firefighting crew for the new season. It's up to Seven to find the royal runaway, drag him back to his duty, and guard him with her life. Even if she has to hit him over the head and sit on him. The infuriating man has the common sense of a stunned herring...and a body that drives her deadly inner beast into a frenzy. Despite being complete opposites...they're fated mates. And as far as Joe is concerned, fate can go screw itself. Not because he doesn't want this honorable, uncompromising woman who makes his inner sea dragon roar. By the Sea, it's all he can do to keep his hands off her. But he has no choice but to play the clown in the hope of driving her away. Because the man that everyone thinks is a frivolous playboy has a secret. He can see the future. And if he claims his mate, she's going to die...
