Cage

He wrote the protocol himself. It was never meant to catch him.

Mattias Kerr has beaten designation screening for nine years. Sixty-one starts this season and a shutout streak the League is selling tickets on, and not one person in the building knows why he tests alone, schedules his own physicals, and has never once used the team sauna.

August Reiner is the Continental League's Director of Designation Compliance. He wrote half the harmonised protocol believing it protected people. He is precise, procedural, and armoured in policy language - and he has just been handed a personal audit of the Meridian Sable.

He starts with the goaltender.

What August finds in that file will end a career. What he finds in his own blood will end everything he thought he was - and by then the only man who can help him is the one he was sent to destroy.

CAGE is a full-length, explicit MM omegaverse hockey romance with a guaranteed HEA, and closes the series' war. Book 3 of The Combine, set in the world of Ironjaw MC. Contains knotting, heat cycles, a late presentation, forbidden workplace romance and institutional cruelty. 18+ only.
