title: Branded
author: Gimpel, Ann
description: An exiled dragon shifter.
   A restless witch.
   A wild, unruly spell.
   What could possibly go wrong?
  
   Nothing ever happens in sleepy little Stillwater, California, which was exactly why Liam settled there. What better spot to avoid discovery? Banished by his dragon-shifter kinsmen for sexual improprieties, his sentence has ten years to go. The only snag is he has to find a mate before he can return to Xara, the dragons' home world.
  
   Aisha has a problem. She's stuck tending a herd of Arabians, and she'll be there forever if she doesn't produce another witch to take over. To do that, she needs a man. No one permanent. Just someone to grace her bed long enough to get her pregnant.
  
   Intent on fulfilling her obligation to the Colewright witches, Aisha casts a love charm aimed right at Liam. She has no idea what he is--or that his magic overshadows hers by a country mile--and her spell backfires. Badly. She's picking up the pieces, determined to move past the humiliation, but another spell snaps her up right alongside Liam.
  
   Impossible to ignore, hot, sweet, and urgent, Heart's Desire snares them both.
