Scales of Desire

Staying with his sister while he recovers from an accident, Harlon, a talented artist, feels compelled to draw a yacht he sees at the local marina. But when the yacht's owner appears, he immediately draws the man himself, only to find the solidly muscled man he was sure he saw on deck looks much different in the flesh. Naga shifter Bran is instantly drawn to his mate and ensures that when he greets the man who's drawing him, his appearance is far more to the taste of his mate to be. However, Bran has more problems than just finding a way of revealing the truth of his nature to Harlon. Estranged from his family, he's forced to return home only to find his father has arranged Bran's engagement to a partner of his own choosing. Bran sends his closest friend and confidante Tevy to Harlon. Both to explain what's happened and ensure Harlon attends the party to announce him as his fated mate. But when Tevy fails to return, Bran becomes concerned about his friend's safety. Can Bran challenge and defeat his father to claim his rightful mate?
