To become the rightful owner of the estate, I was willing to do a lot: I carried out a dangerous ritual, risking my reputation and my future. But the result turned out to be unexpected. Now there’s nowhere to hide from the attention of one attractive, shrewd count. He claims that a special bond has formed between us—and it’s clear he intends to have his way, while I’m determined to thwart him with all my might. After all, now I’m on the side not only of unusual powers, but also of a magic-filled land that will surely support the new mistress. So hands off my estate, dragon! What? No! And I’m not marrying you either!
