BRADLEY: Captivated (Aristocrat #6)

In a circle of friends bound by loyalty but divided by differences, tension brews between two opposites. One, a product of privilege and tradition, clings to the beliefs instilled in him by a strict, aristocratic upbringing. The other, shaped by love and acceptance, lives unapologetically true to himself.

Bradley Genovese has always seen the world in black and white, his views hardened by a family that values image above all else. To him, Primo Ruiz-a compassionate, openly gay military officer-is everything wrong with defying the natural order. Primo, in turn, sees Bradley as a relic of the past: arrogant, ignorant, and utterly insufferable.

Forced together during a friend's destination wedding, the animosity they've nurtured for years begins to unravel. Heated arguments become charged conversations, and the walls they've built start to crumble. As Bradley struggles to confront the prejudices ingrained in him, Primo is faced with the question of whether someone so different can ever truly change.

What unfolds is a slow, unexpected journey from hatred to understanding, from distance to desire. But with Bradley's family casting a long shadow over his life and Primo refusing to compromise on love, the road ahead is uncertain.

Sometimes, the most captivating connections are born from the most unlikely of places.
