Beschreibung
Ten ancient dragons have survived millennia, hoarded untold riches, and outsmarted empires — none of them were ready for *her*.
What do you get when you cross a centuries-old dragon who has spent four hundred years perfecting the art of solitary hoarding with a woman who has absolutely no interest in being impressed? Apparently, you get fireworks — and not the fire-breathing kind.
*Dragon Gold: Billionaire Hoarders Find Their Match* is a delightfully sharp and utterly original collection of ten paranormal romance novellas from debut author Priscilla Osei-Bonsu. Each story pairs an ancient, impossibly wealthy dragon in human form — fastidious, proud, and deeply unaccustomed to being contradicted — with a woman who is far too busy, too clever, and too professionally principled to be charmed by a mountain of gold and a good jawline.
The collection opens with *The Appraisal*, in which freelance archivist Nora Okafor arrives to catalogue a private manuscript collection and within minutes dismantles both a shelf arrangement and a four-hundred-year-old curatorial philosophy. Her host, Cavendish, has not felt bewildered since the Siege of Boulogne. He is about to feel considerably more.
What makes this collection exceptional is Osei-Bonsu's exquisite attention to craft. Her dragons are not metaphors — they are fully realised creatures navigating modernity with varying degrees of grace, hoarding everything from medieval manuscripts to vintage motorcycles to first-edition cookbooks. Her heroines are equally specific: archivists, engineers, marine biologists, and forensic accountants, each formidably competent in her own domain and entirely unbothered by supernatural wealth or ancient gravitas.
The prose is witty, precise, and genuinely funny, with a dry observational quality that rewards careful reading.
