All the planning in the world can't beat dumb luck.

Or a missing Mate....

Or an ancient curse....

Being the youngest of the MacAllen Clan, Heath thought he had everything figured out. After all, wasn't he the one who had the Gift of Sight and could read everybody's mind without even thinking about it?

Then Fate and the Universe kicked him right in the butt, and everything changed. He walked into Sam's Diner, looked into the eyes of a woman he'd known his whole life ? and bam! He knew she was his One True Fated Mate, the one the Universe made for him.

Never one to jump into anything, Heath did what he always did ? he dragged his heels and waited for the perfect time to get down on one knee...

But as his momma always says, 'A Dragon often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.'

Now, Maggie's gone. A Curse he didn't even know existed was activated when Arawn, the Celtic god of Death, and none other than the Omnipotent Being known as Fate ? that god's Mate, stepped onto the steaming sands of the Chihuahuan Desert. And now, well, Heath is up Shi*t Creek without a paddle.

Can he send a foe darn near as old as the Dragon King with whom he shares his soul back to Helheim? Can he save Maggie before she's driven mad? Can he kick Dumb Luck's a$$ and make the idiot pay for ruining his plans for an unforgettable proposal to his Mate?

Nobody's got the answers, not even the Guardsman with the Gift of Sight. But two things are true:

Fate will not be Denied, and Heath plans to show the forces of evil who's her Dragon and would give up his own life to save hers.
