In a high-stakes world of business and prestige, Edward, a powerful CEO, and Arthur, a renowned model, are forced into an arranged marriage orchestrated by their families to secure their companies' future and uphold a long-standing friendship. But there's one problem-Edward is in love with his longtime girlfriend and refuses to let her go. Arthur, sharp-eyed and prideful, sees right through her facade and refuses to let his future husband keep a mistress, determined to break them apart. What starts as a battle of egos soon turns into something neither of them expected. Meanwhile, their best friends-one Edward's trusted right-hand and the other Arthur's closest confidant-find themselves unexpectedly entangled in a whirlwind romance of their own, proving that love often blooms in the most unlikely places.

SAMPLE -- TO BE PUBLISHED AS EBOOK AND PAPERBACK IN 2026 His orders were simple: interrogate the Demon prince and then kill him. He can't afford to pity the Demon--much less fall for him. *** Fourteen years ago, the Demons conquered the world, decimating the Guardian order and enslaving humanity. Now, the last Guardians live underground, quietly rebuilding and waiting for a chance to strike back. Remgar, a noble Guardian hardened by loss, is honored with a mission of vengeance: interrogate the High Demon Prince and break him. It seems like a dream come true-until he meets the prisoner. Isalio, the younger brother of the Demon High Prince, is sarcastic, disarmingly sweet, and far too human. As forbidden feelings percolate between interrogator and captive, Remgar is forced to confront a truth more terrifying than any Demon: he doesn't want to break Isalio. He wants to save him. Torn between the oath he swore and the heart he never meant to offer, Remgar must decide what kind of Guardian he truly is. Because in a world where evil reigns and love is a death sentence, choosing wrong could doom them both. WARNING: This story contains content that may not be suitable for some readers.
