Phoenix (Steele Shadows Rising‪)‬

A man who cheated death. A woman hired to pick up the broken pieces. And an obsession neither of them saw coming.

A pulse-pounding romantic suspense from bestselling author Amanda McKinney.

Perfect for fans of brooding alpha heroes, intense chemistry, and high-stakes danger.

Phoenix Steele was supposed to be grateful. They told him he'd been given a second chance. But waking up from a coma to a life of restrictions feels more like a cage than a blessing. Once the fearless heir to the Steele legacy, Phoenix is now labeled unstable, volatile, and dangerous.

Unwilling to accept his issues, Phoenix instantly clashes with his court-mandated therapist—the town’s most eligible bachelorette.

Dr. Rose Floris built her life on structure and discipline, determined to escape a past she never talks about. But when a gruesome murder and a series of strange events point to her as the target of a twisted game, Rose finds herself under the protection of the one man she's been warned not to trust.

As their professional lines blur and danger circles closer, Phoenix realizes he must battle his own demons before he can save anyone, including the woman who’s become his own obsession…

An obsession he’d kill for.

Phoenix is a standalone romantic suspense (no cliff-hanger).
