What happens when fire meets ice?
Ice had traveled the realms for centuries searching for the
ice elementals, others of her kind but she was alone always alone. Never
staying one place for long because sooner or later her mere presence caused the
temperature of the land to drop to a killing freeze. Until she found the one
place her powers had no effect. And perhaps the one being who could counter her
freeze.
Running from a destiny not of his own choosing, Arch finally
found the one person who could make him stop running. But Ice must never learn
the truth. A fire demon destroyed her world and he was his father’s son.

Excerpt
From the moment She
entered the room, Arch tracked her movement, curious about her. When the young
wizard at the bar had spoken to her, he found himself rising off the chair,
wanting to rip his head off. He had to lower himself back into the seat and
force himself to relax. Soon, the notes of a horn filled the room from the
music box and the female took the dance floor. Her back was to him but she
pushed the hood off her hair and shook out her frozen tresses. The organ in his
chest sped up to push more fire through his blood.
An ice maiden! Fucking impossible!
Her kind had been gone from the realms for centuries. But
the icicles hanging off the end of her waist-length blue and silver hair said
otherwise. When she began to sway, he forgot about everything else. The sight
of her hips moving from side to side completely mesmerized him. When she turned
to face him, he damn near shot his seed into the leather pants he wore. Bad
enough his dick strained against the confines of its restrictions, causing him
pain. So that’s what she had hidden under that coat. Curves where a woman
should curve and a waist tiny enough for his hands to span from tip to tip.
“Damn,” he whispered under his breath. “Surprise, surprise.”
He could only sit back and enjoy the show. The pleasure she
took in her movements brought a smile to his face. He couldn’t remember the
last time he’d felt a real smile, if ever, at least one born of pure joy
instead of vicious glee. She stopped after only two songs, and it wasn’t until
she sat down he realized although the tavern had become more crowded while she
danced, instead of the place heating up, she cooled it down. An ice princess,
indeed.
The male she sat near leaned closer to her to say something
and Arch shot to his feet. What the hells was he doing? Instead of marching
over there and ripping the bastard’s heart out, he left the bar and walked out
into the evening. Stopping on the sidewalk, he took a few deep breaths of the
night air to get his temperature down. He didn’t dare glance back at the
entrance to the tavern for fear he’d go back inside and beat the little shit
for talking to a woman he didn’t know.
Arch shook his head and walked in the direction of the inn
where he was staying. His thoughts were on the strange inhabitants of the
tavern but one in particular, who intrigued him. Who would have thought icicles
could turn him on? He wondered if his heat would melt the ice coating her hair,
and would it be soft to his touch when he did? He already knew he would find
out.
He couldn’t remember the last time he’d had a woman. It was
not his nature to deny himself, but they’d been running for awhile now and he
missed lying amidst the softness a female provided. A respite from his flight.
The ice princess seemed to be one of the regulars at in the bar; he might have
to become one too. The next time he saw her he’d have her, he promised himself.
And he never made a promise he didn’t keep. Arch had gone a few blocks from the
bar when the disturbance in the air from cool to hot behind him provided his
only warning. He spun around in time to see a hells gate open, flames rising up
from the ground to lick at the air and three Furia, hells guardians, step
through.
