Phoenix Rise
Book 1 in the Phoenix ShiftARS Series
Harlow thought joining the military would be his ticket to a fresh start, far from his criminal father and a past he’d rather forget. But waking up bruised and battered in a medical centre, unsure if he'd been kidnapped or hazed, threw everything into chaos. His new team—Riley, Troy, and Beckett—claim it was an initiation prank gone wrong, but Harlow can’t shake the suspicion that there’s more to their story. Despite his doubts, he feels an inexplicable pull toward them, especially the fiercely protective Riley.
When a deadly fight reveals Harlow’s secret as a phoenix shifter, the team’s bond grows even deeper, as does the realisation that they might be his fated mates—a concept Harlow never believed in. Yet, their connection is tested as Harlow’s past resurfaces with a vengeance. His father’s men abduct him, imprisoning him in a cage designed to break shifters. Only the unyielding loyalty of his team—and Harlow’s unique ability to endure—can save him and the other shifters trapped alongside him.
But even as they escape one trap, they find themselves caught in another, surrounded by enemies with everything to lose. With their backs against the wall, Harlow and his team must fight for their lives and the bond that could make them stronger than ever—or shatter them completely.
Fate brought them together, but will it be enough to keep them alive?
