To Keep an Emerald Rose by Elayna R. Gallea - Novella in the Bound by Flame Series

She’s a dragon shifter on a redemption quest. He’s a secretive witch with questionable timing. Fate has plans neither of them saw coming.

Octavia Ashbloom has spent fifty-five years trying to atone for the one little mistake that sparked a war—oops. All she wants now is acceptance from her dragon shifter village. When the Elders finally grant her a shot at redemption by asking her to deliver the powerful Emerald Rose across the Empire, she doesn’t hesitate.

Enter Flynn: infuriatingly charming, magically gifted, and caught red-handed rummaging through her things during a storm. She knows better than to trust him. And yet, there's something about the way their paths keep intertwining—and the way her heart won’t listen to reason.

But when betrayal threatens to undo everything, Octavia has to choose: guard her mission or guard her heart?

“Even if the flames consume me, I’d still reach for you.”
