Claimed by the Sea Dragon: An MM Shifter Mate Romance

He was hunting a legend. He found a curse instead—and the dragon guarding it.

Captain Silas Sterling has spent six years salvaging wrecks nobody else could find, chasing the one impossible discovery that could finally clear his family's ruined name: a sunken royal flagship, lost for a hundred and forty years, visible only during a rare solar eclipse. But when the eclipse arrives, a impossible wave drags his vessel down—and Silas wakes half-drowned on the shore of a uncharted island.

Lord Orion Thorne is the last of a dead court, the sole guardian standing between a drowning trench and the ancient hunger beneath it. Three centuries of isolation have taught him one absolute truth: never let anyone close enough to be destroyed by what he carries. Then a stubborn, sharp-edged salvager washes ashore during the one lunar window Orion can't afford to ignore—and the fated bond he swore he'd never risk begins to stir.

Trapped together behind a barrier with time running out, Silas and Orion have one lunar cycle to navigate their fierce resistance to each other. But as the fortress's dark history surfaces, so does a deadly threat: a curse that is slowly consuming Orion, and a fleet of sea-witches closing in to harvest what's left of the dragon lord's power.

To survive, a captain who trusts only logic must bet everything on a bond he can't measure—and a lonely dragon must accept that some debts are only paid by letting someone in.

Claimed by the Sea Dragon is a steamy MM fated-mates paranormal fantasy romance featuring a disgraced sea captain, a centuries-old dragon shifter, a gothic cursed island, forced proximity, high-stakes battles, and a guaranteed happily ever after (HEA).
