Chapter 1
Paige
The microwave hummed in my tiny dorm. I had gotten lucky, seeing as how I was the only one in it without having to share anymore, Stacy moved back home, leaving me with the room to myself. But it was lonely. As loud and obnoxious as she was, she was interaction. I didn’t party, I wanted to get my biology degree, so that I could become a vet.
The ting of the last of the pizza rolls had summoned me, its aroma filling in the small studio. I had everything I needed, a kitchen, a room, and a bathroom all in one space. That had been my life for the past 3 years. I plopped on the couch in the small living room and put on the tv for noise. It was Thursday, and I was going to work on documenting the dreams I’d been fantasizing on for the past 3 months now.
They were vivid, as if the place I kept dreaming about was real…. I grabbed my pen, my notebook, and a glass of water.
Dream 52, I wrote.
King Nathaniel slammed his toned arm on the war table, looking at the maps of all the territories that he had investigated. After all, as strong as he was, as powerful and magical of a dragon that he was… he was still without a Queen.
This had gone on for Years now, and his frustration intimidated his generals.
“Does she not exist?” he said with a panting grunt of frustration, sending his cabinet of men into a nervous silence. “General Tanner, What of the East?” His ocean blue eyes focused on a dark tan, built man, about 6’5 with crimson hair and hazel eyes.
“The Glowing Sands region show their allegiance but assure us that they have not seen a mate suitable for you, my Dragon King.”
“The west?” he growled, his thunderous voice filling the room, clenching his chiseled jaw.
“My Lord, all the females we have brought are incompatible.” Said a man with honey blond hair, covered in tribal tattoos.
“…The south?” He rubbed his hands through his shoulder length dark crimson hair, his eyes now the color of the sunset on a clear day.
“I presented your scent to all the females I could find, yet none were found to be correct.” Said an older gentleman, his gray hair in a curly mess.
He sighed, “I need my Mate like I need my flame, she is the one meant to be with me and I her. I must keep searching, I will never stop.” His 6’6 frame hunched over his maps, steam coming out his nose.
He was the ruler of the entire northern continent, the largest territory held by one dragon. It was the harshest, but most beautiful of all the lands of Fenocia. He stood up and went to his private study at the top of his mansion, poured himself a glass of wine in a deep bronze chalice, looking at the magnificent mountain range in the distance in unrest.
Winter would be harsh this year, the snow was already on the peaks, and the chill of the wind could be felt down the valley. It would be cold, but it would be colder without his mate. His lands were already searched, and there was no lack of women who wished to be with him, but he wanted his one and only. He wanted his mate.
“If only I had someone to share this with” he mumbled to himself, leaning against the wall, not venturing too far out the heavy brass and wood double doors. His palace was gloriously massive and gothic, complete with every embellishment fit for the ruler of man and dragon alike that he was.
BEEP BEEP BEEP went the sound of my phone alarm.
I had been writing and I didn’t even notice that time had slipped by. It was already 9pm.
I got off the couch, and immediately slipped dropping everything and cut my hand on my coffee mug. It wasn’t bad, so I got it up. Then I picked up my notebook and plates and cleaned up my mess.
“Damnit.” I grumble, putting my dark cinnamon skin under the water. It stung, but it needed to be clean. I took out my trash, and went to take a shower to wash my back length curly hair, and to get some rest. It was getting close to finals and I wanted to be up and early. I set my now slightly blood covered notebook on the floor and went to sleep.

I open my mouth to respond, but all that comes out is a staggered breath and a small sigh. He chuckles, a low, rough rumble and then leans down and kisses the middle of my back.

Offside Temptation
Ethan Ryder was a disaster waiting to happen. Hot-headed, reckless, and constantly one bad decision away from ruining his career. I was supposed to hate him. Instead, I memorized him. I learned exactly how to push his buttons on the ice just to see the fire in his eyes.
When he grabbed my jersey in that locker room and kissed me in front of twenty cameras, it wasn't a mistake. It was the moment the line between hatred and obsession finally snapped. The media called it a scandal. They called us a divorced couple. But they didn't see the way Ethan trembled when I cornered him in the hallway afterward.
"You're staring again," he whispered, his back hitting the wall.
"You're still here," I replied calmly, stepping close enough to feel his erratic pulse.
He thought I was cold. He thought I was controlled. He didn't realize that every time he looked at me, I was fighting the urge to completely destroy the distance between us.
Now, the league is forcing us to live together, train together, and smile for the cameras to fix our public image. But the more time we spend alone in my apartment, the harder it is to pretend I just want to play hockey...

Locked in her frozen tower, Bella dreamed of warmth, of touch, of freedom and of love. Cursed with the power of ice and snow, she’s spent her life alone. A secret they tried to protect the world from. Her only escape comes in the form of the books she reads. Stories of heat, desire, and the kind of love that could melt even her frostbitten heart.
Damien is the Beast. A dragon King with a temper forged in flame and a soul hollowed by duty. The world fears him. The people call him a monster. But beneath the scales and the rage lies a man who has never been touched by love.
When frost meets fire, the world shatters. She was never meant to leave her tower. He was never meant to find her. But destiny doesn’t bow to kings or care for cages and now the question burns through them both: Can Bella have her Beast? Or will the girl of snow melt in the heat of his desire?
.
"I’m keeping her."
"What?"
Before I can react, he scoops her up. Her small body fits easily in the cradle of his talons. For a split second, she looks startled, but not afraid. Her hand rests against one scaled finger, and she stares up at him with that same curious wonder, as though she’s already forgotten she was ever meant to fear me.
"Put her down," I try to command, panic threading through my thoughts. "You’ll hurt her."
"She’s ours," the beast insists, possessive and fierce. "Our snowflake."
