For years, Andriel had longed to find his mate, pinning his hopes on his birthday to finally meet her. To his surprise, however, the Moon Goddess didn’t bless him with a female mate but with a male one. Faced with this unexpected revelation, Andriel found himself at a crossroads, unsure of how to proceed. He was torn between accepting the destiny laid out by the Goddess or following his heart, which yearned for love and connection. Now, he felt trapped between yielding to the bond tying him to his mate or rejecting that love to prioritize his role as king.

Eric Winter controls everything around him with obsessive precision: businesses, contracts, people… and most of all, his own emotions. To him, relationships have always been simple. Desire. Clear rules. No room for attachment. That’s exactly why the contracts exist. Stevan, on the other hand, has spent most of his life surviving. By day, he endures an abusive boss inside the multinational company where he works. At night, he takes jobs he never imagined he’d accept just to keep paying for his sick mother’s treatment. Quiet, insecure, and far too used to swallowing humiliation in silence, Stevan has never believed he was the kind of man someone would truly choose. But everything changes the night Eric finds him in a VIP room. What should have been just another proposition quickly turns into something dangerous. Because Stevan doesn’t respond to Eric the way other men do. And for the first time in years, Eric loses control of himself. Between lingering stares, restrained desire, and rules breaking one by one, the two of them become trapped in a relationship that was never supposed to go beyond the limits of a contract. The problem is, some feelings don’t obey clauses. And Eric realizes far too late that maybe he doesn’t just want Stevan’s body. Maybe he wants all of him.
