For three centuries, Alsander has rotted within a dying forest, sacrificing his own blood to contain a soul-consuming curse. As the eldest of Ireland’s ancient Draquonir dragon shifters, he has resigned himself to a lonely, monstrous existence. That is, until Poppy Brightwood stumbles into his woods. A human herbalist on a desperate quest to save her village, Poppy accidentally witnesses the one secret that should have cost her life: Alsander’s dragon form.
The chemistry is instantaneous and volatile, sparking a high-stakes enemies-to-lovers dynamic fueled by fated-mates resonance. Alsander’s dragon demands he claim Poppy, but his dark secret makes proximity a death sentence. Bound by forbidden-love and forced-proximity, they are trapped together in a forest that wants them dead. He must fight the darkness gnawing at his sanity while resisting the woman who is his only hope for salvation.
If you crave a paranormal romance that perfectly blends historical atmosphere with intense, alpha-hero angst, this is your next obsession. It is a breathtaking emotional journey that will leave you laughing one moment and weeping the next. Dive into a world where magic is deadly, desire is a curse, and the stakes have never been higher.

Dragon Cursed is fantastic. Becca Brayden and Grace Goodwin have a true winner here. This book made me laugh and then it pulled me through the wringer and made me cry. It's the best book I think they've written yet. And that is saying something since every book in this series is fantastic. I absolutely loved it and very highly recommend it. )
