Black dragon Holden Antaeus isn't looking for a mate. His life is filled with family, work, and dating. Women adore him and he's never short of offers for sex, but a relationship isn't something he's interested in. When Holden's brother Sean hires a new executive for Antaeus International, Holden's whole world, and everything he's ever believed about himself, is blown to bits. Garret Renquist is a green dragon, intelligent, witty, bi-sexual, and hot for Holden. Despite the fact that Holden is positive he's heterosexual, the moment he meets Garret, something happens inside him. What follows is a journey through stereotypes and ingrained beliefs as Holden struggles with the fact that his destined mate is a man.

I am soooo very very honored to have made it this far. It's a huge accomplishment for me since this is my first M/M book (but by no means my last!) and it's something I will always remember. Thank you so much to everyone who voted for Fire Season and to Elisa and the Jury for all the great work. I can't even tell you how awesome this feels.

When you're good, you are good! Great read!

And you were up against stiff competition!

I loved the books by Lynn, Luisa and Rick. This was a very hard catagory to pick from! But I want to say with all the love in my heart, you three deserve an honorable mention - and more, because your stories rocked my world!
