Kira Deveraux writes paranormal and monster romance for readers who want their alpha heroes dangerous, their heroines unapologetic, and their happily ever afters hard-earned. Her stories blend fated-mate intensity, explicit heat, and emotional depth — because desire without vulnerability isn't the kind of love worth reading about. Her Ashpeak Alphas series follows dragon shifter Alphas who discover that claiming a mate is the easy part. Being chosen is what costs them everything. When she's not writing possessive heroes who have to learn the difference between control and love, she's probably rereading the scene where he kneels. Bloodbound to the Dragon Alpha, the first book in the Ashpeak Alphas series, is available now on Kindle.
