Bolivar by Caitlin Ricci

Wesley has spent his whole life preparing to serve his aging dragon master, Bolivar. But the mighty dragon he imagined has faded, losing his powers and reverting physically to a young man no older than Wesley.
With nothing for Wesley to do, Bolivar sends him off to college while they still spend breaks together. Wesley soon falls for the dragon, though Bolivar insists he’s too young, too inexperienced. There’s attraction there, but Bolivar has lived too long to be impulsive, and Wesley isn’t interested in something lasting.
Over time Wesley puts distance between them, focusing on his studies, but his care for Bolivar never diminishes. As Bolivar nears the end of this life and his impending rebirth as a human, he finally accepts what Wesley has known all along – that they belong together.
Caught between his duty to his master and forbidden love for a dragon, Wesley must find a way to convince Bolivar their connection transcends age, species, and impending change as an old life ends and a new one begins.
