  Sea Dragon's Hunger
   Excerpt:
  Nic had been restless all day. He’d blamed it on the coming storm, but it was growing worse. His Irish mother had been a powerful Seer. Nic couldn’t see the future like his mom, but he’d learned to trust his premonitions.
  Trouble was on the way.
  He dove into the water. The ocean was a seething mass. A wave crashed over Nic’s head. Even in his man form, he could hold his breath much longer than a human.
  But his animal wanted out.
  Nic dove deep and let the shift take him. Energy rippled over his skin. For a few seconds, his body was a cluster of incandescent lights—blue, purple, green—before shaping itself into the powerful body of his sea dragon.
  Nic arced through the waves, reveling in the slide of salt water over his skin. He had rudimentary wings and could fly in short spurts, but the ocean was his element.
  A school of common dolphins scattered at his approach, chittering anxiously to each other. In this form, Nic measured twenty-five feet from nose to tail, and he had the teeth and claws to match.
  Nic ignored them. He might be a half-savage dragon, but he drew the line at eating something as intelligent as him.
  In the sky above, lightning flashed, followed by a crash of thunder. Rain slashed down, pelting his dark-gold hide.
  He dove beneath the waves, stopping a couple hundred feet down. Above him, the storm still raged, but this deep, the sound was muted, the black waters calm.
  He glided through the midnight liquid, the premonition riding him like an itch that couldn’t be scratched, teasing at a part of him buried so deep, he could go weeks without thinking about it.
  Trouble.
  Cassidy O’Byrne.
  Pain sliced through him, fresh as the day he’d left Ireland—and her. He gritted his teeth and bore it.
  Then his spine prickled. His dragon was racing for the surface before his mind caught up.
  Cassidy was
  here
  —and she was in danger.
