Dragon shifter Noah Blackwood learned the hard way that love kills. Now he runs Fusion, the hottest club in Duluth, where he can keep his beast contained and his heart safely numb. Until a fiery paramedic with a stubborn streak ignites something in him that refuses to be extinguished. Bella Murphy isn't looking for protection—especially not from a dragon who treats his own nature like a curse. But as her newfound powers draw dangerous attention, she finds herself caught between dark magic and the one man whose touch could either save her or shatter her completely. When an ancient evil targets Bella for a twisted claiming ritual, Noah must face the dragons of his past or watch another love slip through his fingers. This time, salvation requires surrender—to his beast, to his heart, and to a passion hot enough to melt centuries of ice.
