An age-gap romance. A secret that tastes too sweet to forget. Shedeur Sanders is a college quarterback with a legacy to uphold, an image to protect, and a love he promised himself he'd never speak of again. But when the past he tried to hide comes back in a form he just cannot ignore, the lines between who he is and who he wants begin to blur. And the rules he built to survive? They start to crumble-one touch at a time.

He was never meant to survive the bond-let alone fall in love. Nineteen-year-old Kasani never imagined that being chosen by the most feared of the Ten Lords would unravel his entire world. Alo is not just a ruler-he is death incarnate, dominant, ruthless, and wholly incapable of softness. And yet, fate has bound them together in a soul-deep connection neither can escape. Thrown into a palace of shadows and cruelty, Kasani is expected to submit, to obey, and to bear Alo's heirs. But he's not the weak, fragile thing Alo assumes. With fire in his heart and defiance in his blood, Kasani resists-until resistance turns into obsession, and obsession turns into a love that terrifies them both. As secrets unfold, as war simmers in the corners of their world, and as Kasani's body begins to carry the impossible-new life-he and Alo must face what it means to truly belong to someone. Through brutal arguments, twisted desires, raw vulnerability, and heartbreaking tenderness, they learn that love isn't always soft... sometimes, it's sharp enough to bleed. Dark. Addictive. Sensual. A fantasy romance for readers who crave intense power dynamics, queer love stories, and the kind of bond that bends but never breaks.
