Phoenix shifter and photographer Benton Hwong has traveled the world in search of two things: memorable moments and his fated soul mate. When he takes an assignment to film the firebirds’ breeding season on Lake Keris, Benton expects to find adventure, not the love of his every life. Sparks fly, and soon the firebirds aren't the only ones dancing the opening steps of a fiery romance on the banks of Lake Keris. But can Benton persuade her that she's his soul mate?

Renowned for its beauty and deadly dangers - especially to dragons - Keris Island is the last place that a dragon shifter like Dr. Ellis Hale should be and the only place that she can conduct her research into the secret lives of the firebirds that she loves. Ellis is willing to risk everything – even her life – in pursuit of her dreams, but curiosity may very well kill the dragon. Permanently. Can Ellis avoid a grisly end?
