Deep in the closet, former soldier Jackson Bird has spent his life running from the truth. Leave it to fate to drag him from a war zone into a mythical world of alphas and omegas, where every man is gay, and he’s somehow mystery-pregnant with a phoenix baby. It’s one hell of a way to start a day.

As one of three "Chosen" meant to save this realm, Jackson needs to accept his new reality fast. Enemies are closing in, his pregnancy is drawing deadly attention, and worst of all, the devastatingly gorgeous mercenary monk who rescued him is making Jackson's carefully constructed walls crumble with every smoldering look.

Good thing Airos has taken a sacred vow never to claim a mate. And Jackson's not about to beg.

But when shadow threatens to consume everything, their reluctant partnership might be the only thing standing between salvation and destruction. If they can stop wanting to murder each other—or rip each other's clothes off—long enough to save the world.
