May Northcott is at the end of her tether. Her demon boss has moved in and is making life hell. Her scorching hot dragon lover seems to think everything can be solved with a fiery kiss. And worse still, she`s being shadowed by her ditsy twin sister - a naiad who simply can`t seem to stay out of trouble. The arrival of a nearly-dead man on May`s doorstep could be the final spark that sets light to their tinder-box world. And with dragon war imminent, it`s looking increasingly like it will be up to May (and her watery shadow) to stop it before the fire consumes them all, and their lives end up in smoke!
