One key, one door, one man, one leap.
Alison Wescot inherited the antique store the day her mother died. It was nothing she wanted, but she couldn’t part with it. The antiques inside were all she had left of her mother. She thought she knew every piece in the store, until one day she discovered a box with a key inside, along with a letter from her mother. A key to a door she never knew existed.
Lucas Azure is the leader of the kingdom’s elite guard, a group of men whose sole purpose was to protect their territory and people. The youngest of the king’s four children, he was also the deadliest. The men in his group followed him faithfully, never questioning his orders. When Alison appeared, he knew he had to protect her at all costs.
The day Alison walked through the door, her recurring dream became a reality. The man who always remained a mystery was standing before her. There were dragons flying overhead and a castle in the distance. She was now in the Azure Kingdom.

The more I read from Michelle Dare the more she's becoming one of my top go-to authors. She dipped into fantasy in this one and OMG she nailed it.
Alison is going through the motions. During the day she's working at the antique shop her mother left her when she passed away. Then, when she falls asleep she dreams of the handsome man on hs dragon surrounded by beautiful azure flowers.
One day while helping a customer look at an old antique clock they find an old box with beautiful designs. In it is a key and a letter to her in her mothers handwriting.
Alison finds out from her mom that they're from another realm. There is a door in the closet that'll get her there. She tells Alison to do two things. Find Rafe Pine bc that's her father. She's to keep the key close to her. The key is like houdini and it may disappear and she may not be able to get back. Alison doesn't think twice about taking this chance.
The minute Alison walks through the door she's transported to a field full of flowers that are familiar to her. The first face she comes to is the of the man of her dreams. She learns his name is Lucas Azure and he's of royalty. He's the kings youngest and he's the head of their elite guard.
Lucas doesn't seem surprised to see her. She'd been in his dreams for awhile now. Lucas has the need to protect her. Until she tells him who she's looking for. Their enemy. King Pine. Lucas quickly takes her to the castle but not before Alison proves to him its true.
The connection and pull that Alison and Lucas have is strong. Alison is in this brand new world. She's outta her element. I mean they've got dragons. They are oversized great danes. There's a knight from her fathers kingdom whose hand she was promised too. Oliver might seem like a great guy. But, the only guy she wants is Lucas.
Lucas's father King Azure shocks her as well. He doesn't seem shocked by her arrival or story. He's got a story of his own which shocks Alison, Lucas and his brothers and sister.
Once started this I couldn't put it down. This was a great love story. It was also filled with fantasy and of course a war between kingdoms. I promise you won't be able to put it down. I'm so looking forward to the next book. I'm wanting any of Lucas's older siblings. But, there's Oliver and Alison's brother from the Pine kingdom. There's legit so many different kingdoms and storylines that Michelle can dig into. I promise I'll be there with every book!
