NOW OR NEVER

"I wasn't looking for a hero. I just wanted a normal life."

After graduating at the top of his class, Wolfric "Wo" Xendriel leaves behind an abusive family determined to erase every trace of the famous surname he never wanted.

His only goal is simple: find a job, earn enough to survive, and never look back.

But fate has other plans.

A chance encounter with a stranger in a coffee shop leads him straight into the world of the Valecross family-the most powerful and feared empire on the South Coast.

The stranger is Luke Valecross.

Cold. Untouchable. Dangerous.

The last man Wo should ever meet.

Now working as Luke's personal assistant, Wo slowly discovers that beneath Luke's ruthless reputation is a man who notices everything-including the scars Wo tries so hard to hide.

As enemies close in and the past refuses to stay buried, Wo must choose between the family that broke him and the people who are finally teaching him what home feels like.

Sometimes, all it takes is one act of kindness...

...to change everything.
