Bloodline Bound

The scent of Bangkok's rain still clung to the air the day Fourth Tinnasit returned from New York, six years older, sharper-tongued, and even more reluctant to bow to the expectations of his bloodline. Born the only son of one of Thailand's most powerful mafia bosses, Fourth was never supposed to have a choice. But that didn't mean he'd go down quietly.

Waiting at the gates of the estate wasn't a welcoming party, just Gemini Norawit, cold-eyed and composed, watching him like a man sent to kill, not greet. The son of Fourth's father's most trusted ally, and perhaps the only other person in the world with more to prove.

Gemini had been raised in blood and war. Disciplined. Deadly. Loyal only to the code of the underworld. He was tasked with training Fourth, with breaking down whatever softness New York had given him and shaping him into a true heir. But Fourth? He had no intention of being molded.

Their first meeting was a clash of pride and steel.
Their second, a test of control.
And their third,
...a betrayal neither of them would forget.

Bound by duty. Torn by desire.
In a world where love is weakness and legacy is everything.

What happens when the person you're meant to break is the one who makes you feel alive?
