Phoenix is out of options. Homeless, freezing, and desperate, he crashes the Colorado Dragons’ private party with one goal—seduce a player, snag a scandal, and score enough blackmail cash to survive. But when his mark turns out to be Cole Armstrong, the British star center with haunted eyes and an untouchable presence, Phoenix hesitates. Too beautiful. Too kind. Too dangerous to con. Because Cole isn’t just a hockey legend—he’s a dragon shifter whose fire was magically bound by the same cruel father Phoenix hoped to exploit. Cole sees through the lie. He should throw Phoenix out. Instead, something in the broken stranger calls to the fire buried deep in his chest—heat that stirs the moment they touch, a bond he can’t afford to want. But Cole’s father is watching. And he’ll do anything to keep his son under control. Now Phoenix is more than a risk. He’s a weakness. A weapon. And maybe…the only chance Cole will ever have to break free. For fans of MM hockey romance who want danger, heat, and dragons that burn the ice.
