#The Gilt Trip Trilogy Book 1: Crimes, Confessions, and a Hostage in my Basement Synopsis You've heard this story before. Some poor, soft-eyed civilian gets kidnapped by an unhinged mafia boss with trust issues and a six-pack. Yawn. But what happens when the civilian does the kidnapping instead? Hong Joshua is twenty-seven, painfully average, and a legal advisor who's barely qualified to negotiate his phone bill-let alone a hostage situation. And yet, somehow, he ends up with Lee Seokmin-the CEO of Corvex Group, the underworld's worst-kept secret and walking human crime syndicate-tied to a rusty chair in his basement. Joshua isn't quite sure how he got here. One minute, he's having a very delicious sandwich at a restaurant. The next, there's a bound and gagged mafia boss in his basement, tied to a chair that's older than his career. Oops. Now comes the real problem: what the hell do you do with a mafia kingpin in your basement? Feed him snacks? Call the cops? Negotiate like you actually have leverage? Try not to get murdered? Welcome to the world's worst kidnapping-no ransom, no escape plan, and absolutely no clue what happens next.

What happens when something soft wanders into a world built to break it? Joshua loves quietly. He gives too much. And he never should've looked twice at a man like Jeonghan. Jeonghan doesn't believe in softness. Or innocence. He believes in control, in silence, in bleeding for the things he wants. And now; he wants Joshua. Even if loving him means ruining him. A story about obsession disguised as love. And love that feels like survival. Welcome to Crimson Eden.

He wasn't supposed to scent anyone. Not until he found the one. In a kingdom of wolves where fates are written in scent, status, and instinct-Joshua, the soft-spoken omega prince of the Rose Quartz Pack, has lived untouched, unclaimed, and unaware of just how rare he truly is. But one mistake changes everything. His first unbound heat hits during a routine day at the elite Moonveil College-and Seokmin, the Serenity Pack's second alpha heir, is the only one who doesn't lose control. Instead, he wraps his scent around Joshua like armor... And that's when he knows. Fated mates. A bond no alpha can ignore. A heat no omega can survive alone. Seokmin was never meant to be king. But now he's ready to tear down the world to protect the omega the moon has chosen for him. The packs prepare for union. The bodies prepare for mating. The instincts? Already burning.

Some of the members of SEVENTEEN are captured. Now, it is up to the remaining SEVENTEEN members to save them.

When Joshua impulsively adopts a stray dog, he doesn't expect it to turn his life upside down-or bring him face-to-face (and sometimes heart-to-heart) with Jeonghan, the mysterious dog trainer who lives downstairs. Somewhere between barking lessons, awkward apologies, and shared elevator rides, love might just find its way in.
