Anna and the Dragon

For Anna Cole, collating information turns a confusing, rain-blurred Portland into an ordered place. But when she accepts a job as research assistant to wealthy travel writer Franklin Thomas, all the notes are disordered and illogical. Franklin keeps vanishing. He claims he's taking refuge in a ghostly city to escape a dragon that's been haunting his family for twelve generations. Franklin is insane, compellingly so, and Anna's own sanity is threatened when their relationship takes a romantic turn. When Anna discovers his family's crime is stolen dragon wealth, she delves into a cryptic world born out of myth and legend to save him-either from his heritage, or from himself. But as she discovers, ancient curses can travel through time and space faster than anyone can outrun them. The family curse will last until the fourteenth generation. And the child she's carrying, Franklin's child, is the unlucky thirteenth.
