Eli Chamberlin has everything: wealth, legacy, and a very powerful last name. But when he falls for Adrian, a brilliant but struggling journalist from the wrong side of the world, his carefully planned life begins to fracture. Defying his controlling parents and the expectations of high society, Eli publicly claims his love for Adrian, igniting scandal, betrayal, and a war between blood and desire. Adrian, unprepared for the spotlight and hunted by Eli’s vengeful ex- fiance, Sabrina, and parents, finds himself caught in a ruthless game where love is currency and secrets can kill. As lies spiral and family legacies are shaken, both men are forced to choose: each other or survival. But when Sabrina fakes a pregnancy and Adrian believes her, Adrian is left heartbroken and betrayed. Now, Eli must uncover the truth before he loses everything… including the only man he’s ever truly loved. And just when it seems like Adrian and Eli have found their way back to each other… Sabrina disappears. But not before leaving behind one final message: “You thought I was finished? I’ve only just begun.”

Against The Fire “Collateral Damage”
It started with a broken window.Then a slashed tire.Then a fire.Adrian’s parents had lived quietly in their modest neighborhood on the outskirts of town, far from the glamor and venom of the elite. Managing their lives. But ever since their son’s relationship with Eli Chamberlin hit the headlines, their peaceful life had crumbled. And now, it was war. They hardly go out without people shaming them. On a rainy Tuesday night, the worst of it came.Two masked men broke through the back door. Adrian’s father had been dozing in his recliner when he heard the shatter. His wife screamed as one of the men shoved her to the ground. “Where’s your son, your good for nothing son?” one of them snarled. “Where’s Adrian?”“We don’t know! He doesn’t live here. please…” mr. Carter tried to shield his wife from harm.The second man grabbed a photo off the mantel. It was a picture of Adrian as a boy grinning, missing a front tooth. The man sneered, then dropped it to the floor, smashing it beneath

The champagne had barely settled in Adrian’s system, but his heart was already racing for an entirely different reason.Flashes from cameras exploded like fireworks as he stepped out to kill boredom, Eli at his side, with his hand tucked tightly into his. It was supposed to be just another high-society fundraiser, but after the night they’d had…after the smooth confessions the night before under the sheets and the sweet lovemaking, they couldn’t pretend anymore.Adrian faced the press crowding the sidewalk outside the venue. His jaw tensed. Then, he did something that would change the axis of both their worlds.“I’m in love with Eli Chamberlin,” Adrian said, his voice was loud and fierce.Eli froze. He wasn't expecting him to make such a declaration in such an event. He was barely invited. However, he liked it. A stunned silence gurgled through the crowd before reporters erupted in a frenzy of shouting, snapping photos, and scrambling to call editors.Eli grabbed Adrian’s hand tightl

Just as they lay on the bed, enjoying each other’s bodies and trying to forget their worries for the moment. The heaven rumbles. “It seems we’ll be having a downpour.” Eli nodded. Soon, the Rain tapped against the windows of the small apartment as Eli lay on his side, facing Adrian. Their bodies were tangled beneath a threadbare blanket, their skin was warm from shared heat, their hearts were still racing from all they had endured. The silence between them wasn’t awkward, but it was a rare kind of peace, the kind that came only after a war.Eli traced lazy circles on Adrian’s chest. “Do you ever think we’re insane?” he asked quietly.Adrian glanced down at him. “Define insane.”“Giving up everything for this. For… us.”Adrian gave a half-laugh, the kind that didn’t reach his eyes. “Every day.”Eli’s fingers paused. “Would you take it back?”Adrian hesitated. “Would you?”Eli looked up, met his gaze, and shook his head. “No. I’d do it all again. Even if I lost it all twice.”Adrian sw

The war wasn’t just between two families anymore. It had grown into something dangerous and full of hate. Including the constant bullying that followed Eli and Adrian wherever they turned.The Chamberlins made sure they suffered, sending lawyers, letters, threats concealed as formal notices. But what Eli didn’t know was that Adrian’s side wasn’t staying silent either.It began with a short, and cold message from Cynthia. “You need to start paying me back. Every dime I spent raising you. I kept every receipt. You won't deceive me into supporting you and dumb me when you think you can handle yourself.”Adrian sat alone in his tiny studio apartment, staring at the screen like it had slapped him. His chest felt tight. He hadn’t spoken to his mother in weeks, not since their last argument over Eli. She had never accepted his sexuality, and now it seemed she was using his relationship as ammunition.He called her. “Mom, what is this?” they asked, thinking it was his mother. Cynthia’s voice
