How NOT to Fake Date a Dragon by Harmony Raines

Dragon shifter Byron needs to find his mate and produce an heir. And fast!

If he fails, his family will lose their ancestral home on Cairnnor.

If only Byron wasn’t completely hopeless when it came to matters of the heart. His mother might have named him after one of the great romantic poets. But Byron does not have a romantic bone in his body.

Or so he thinks.

Cassie’s parents expect great things from their five daughters. And four of them are exceptional witches. Then there’s Cassie.

She’s felt lost all her life as if she is on the outside looking in. Perhaps that’s how she wound up owning a store filled with magical items that don’t work quite as they should.

But all that might be about to change.

A competition hosted at The Lonely Tavern has a grand prize of ‘life-changing, sagely knowledge’, which will surely teach her how to become the powerful witch her parents have always wanted her to be. This competition is a way for her to fit in at last.

There’s just one catch – it’s a couples-only competition, and she has less of a clue about romance than she does magic.

After all, she’s been there, done that, and gotten burned.

But all is not lost! Her best friend Sophie sets her up in a fake relationship with Byron.

She just has to hope they can be a convincing enough couple that they aren’t disqualified from the competition…how hard can it be to be fake fated mates, anyway?

Oh yes. There’s also her mean-girl nemesis intent on winning the competition too. A series of trials and tasks. And a fake relationship that feels like it’s become more real than anything she’s experienced before.
