Vacation with the Phoenix
(2026)(A book in the Monsters and Margaritas series)
A novel by Harper Rosling
She came to a volatile fire planet to feel alive
and found the one alien who could burn away her defenses.
Tove
I came to the luxury resort of Cynder Bay looking for a jumpstart for a heart that went numb years ago. They promised me the thrill of a lifetime behind thick, soundproof glass, safely separated from Ignis IV's magma oceans. But the real danger isn't the tectonic instability of the planet; it's the towering, obsidian-skinned Warden patrolling the perimeter. Kaen is a walking inferno with magma glowing beneath his cracked skin, radiating a brutal heat that calls to the absolute zero inside my chest. When the resort's artificial safety shatters and we're stranded in the freezing wilderness, I finally get what I wanted: I feel *something*. He looks at me like I'm the only thing that can soothe his pain, but if I let him get close enough to keep me alive, his fire might consume me completely.
Kaen
My Rebirth Cycle is accelerating, a biological supernova that demands I isolate myself in the Dead Zone before I incinerate everything I'm sworn to protect. I have no business going near the fragile human tourists, especially her. Tove Sorenson is unnerving. She stands inches from liquid rock with dead, fearless eyes, her thermal signature a soothing, icy void that inexplicably quiets the raging storm in my blood. When disaster strikes and the deadly cold sets in, the only way to keep her alive is to break protocol and share my volatile heat. But the moment our bare skin touches, a primal, unstoppable resonance snaps into place. Claiming her will save her from freezing, but the explosive reality of our fated bond might be the very thing that pushes my catastrophic meltdown past the point of no return.
When the absolute cold collides with an unstoppable fire, will they find perfect equilibrium in the heart of the storm, or will their mating bond reduce them both to ash?
