I Taught Him to Flirt. He Claimed Me.

Young researcher Mara mistakes Cassian, a deadly basilisk, for a naga and teaches him a courtship ritual—accidentally choosing him as her mate. He hunts her down, carries her into his territory, and refuses to believe her love is real. Then lost memories reveal he rescued her as a child and waited ten years for her return. When Mara traps him in a research cage, Cassian thinks she has betrayed him again—until her pregnancy and proposal expose the truth behind their dangerous, tender bond.
