BURN- In his grip, there is no escape. (NetJJ)

"Look at me when I talk to you, JJ," Net growled softly.

His dark, heavy gaze dropped down, fixating entirely on JJ's parted, pouted lips. Net leaned in until his hot breath fanned directly over JJ's mouth, their ragged breathing overlapping in the tight space between them. Every shuddering exhale JJ took only seemed to draw Net closer.

"You provoke me so much..."

Net whispered, his voice dangerously low, stripped of all control.

"That I lose my mind."

In the lush, tension-filled valley of Rattanakorn, a bitter, decades-old feud simmers between two powerful estates: the dominant Rai family and the quietly formidable Manithikun clan. While locals gossip about ancient pride and forgotten courtships, the cold war actually rages over a prized vineyard on the valley's western border-the key to controlling the region's land rights.

Caught in the crossfire of this escalating battle is twenty-year-old college junior JJ Radchapon. Devoted to his family, JJ balances his studies and household duties while taking extra shifts at the Rai manor to help support his two loving fathers-one weakened by chronic illness, the other laboring under the Rais.

When the quiet standoff finally erupts into open violence, JJ unexpectedly finds himself trapped under the dark protection of the powerful Manithikuns. Swept up in the dangerous world of organized crime and held beneath the absolute, possessive gaze of Net Manithikun, JJ quickly realizes that in the clash between two empires, he may never be allowed to leave.
