I never thought the end of the human race would come at the claws of aliens. But here we are, a casualty in an age-old intergalactic war between two species fighting for our planet. And I hate them both. Or at least I'm trying to. When a huge, blue, and bronze-scaled dragon man shows up at my doorstep, I'm determined to resist the sudden temptation roiling in my gut. I don't care if his kisses steal my breath or his touch leaves me a hot, quaking mess. There is nothing on this hellish Earth that can make me forget the past and all that's been stolen.

Turns out this school isn’t exactly what I expected - they're on the hunt.
