No woman ever made the mistake of returning to Dragon Ironside bed. Not even for money.
Older, imposing, and covered in scars that told stories of violence and power, he was a dangerous man, accustomed to commanding any room simply with his presence. Standing nearly two meters tall with a gaze that pierced the soul, he didn't believe in love. His heart was ice, but his body burned in battle or in the forbidden intimacy behind closed doors.
A storm ready to turn into a volcano. His enemies knew it. His lovers did too.
Nadja Mayer learned far too young what a man could do to a woman. Three years trapped in an abusive marriage left deep marks on both her body and her soul. Widowed and traumatized, she made a vow: she would rather die than let another man touch her.
Until the day her path crossed with Dragon's.
Now, a wounded woman and a man who has never loved are caught in a dangerous attraction that defies vows, age, and scars.
Between desire and hatred, protection and possession, a fiery, forbidden, irresistible, and volatile bond is born.
Because some flames cannot be extinguished.
They can only be contained...
Until they burn everything around them.
