Title: 1303 – The Dragonslayer (The 13th Floor
series, #3)
Author: Christine Rains
Genre: paranormal romance
Release date: February 13th, 2013
On
the rooftop of neighboring building, dragonslayer Xanthus Ehrensvard fires at
his target, Governor Whittaker. How he missed the shot, he doesn't know, but
fleeing the scene, he picks up an unwanted passenger. Gorgeous reporter Lois
King saw Xan's face, and she believes it's the story to make her career. Except
he can't let her walk away knowing what he looks like. Xan has to show her the
Governor is a bigger threat to the world than he is.
Xan knows dragons never went extinct. They evolved with human society, taking on mortal forms, and slithered their way into positions of great influence and power, just like the Governor. But it's no easy chore proving to someone that dragons still exist, and even more so, they're disguised as famous people. Xan must convince Lois or find another way to silence her. An option, as he gets to know her, he likes less and less.
After all, dragonslayers are no longer celebrated heroes but outlaws. Just as the dragons wish it. But this outlaw must make a plan to slay the dragon or risk its retribution.
