PROLOGUEHARLEYTen years ago“Another win, Ace!”“Hell yeah!”“Congrats!”The voices overlapped, shouting to be heard over the music blasting from the speakers. It was late evening, and the party was just starting to kick into gear. That was something I’d learned over this summer—the Lakeview clan really knew how to party.It’d been a perfect summer. More perfect than I ever imagined. When I flew out here to visit my mother, I’d thought I would spend a quiet few months hanging out at the lake and escaping the sticky Atlanta heat.I hadn’t expected to meet a man like Ace.No, not a mere man—a shifter. A dragon shifter.Shifters were rare, but dragon shifters even more so. They were notoriously secretive, too, and didn’t really venture outside their clans. At least, that’s what I’d thought. The Lakeview clan seemed to run the entire town of Lakeview, but they weren’t overbearing about it. Sure, I knew they had their hands—or claws—in certain unsavory businesses, but overall it seemed
