Synopsis

Once upon a time, Gideon North was a teenager with an ill-fated crush on Fletcher Sinclair. Nothing good could ever come from having feelings for the son of his father's sworn rival, but Gideon never expected Fletcher to kiss him on the lips and then stab him in the back.

Six years later, Fletcher has grown from a boy into a man, living in a fairytale world where he's never been told no. The privileges granted by his name have come at a steep price—unwavering allegiance to his father, and no one else. There was no room for Gideon in his life before, and now there’s even less.

Caught in a world of money, power, and loyalty, Gideon and Fletcher find themselves forced to lead dueling societies cursed by rules designed to control everyone involved—including, and especially, themselves. But in some stories, curses are meant to be broken. Tired of being pawns in someone else’s game, Gideon and Fletcher team up—then tumble into bed—with Daren and Luca, the men meant to keep them in line. As former enemies turned lovers, they’re ready to take control of their own destinies and take down anyone who tries to stop them…even the golden-haired beauty sent to spy on them, even their own fathers.

Gideon North wasn’t always known as The Beast, and Fletcher Sinclair hadn’t always been the villain. But one thing is certain—the rivalry between them is not only forever; it’s also old as time.

*** CONTENT WARNING: Rough/edge play, dubious consent, primal play, exhibitionism, ritualizing branding and whipping, and (spoilers) off-page child abuse and on-page patricide. Please proceed with caution if any of the above concern you.
