The Binding They Tried to Bury

Ethan Blackwood is a ruthless young billionaire CEO who controls every room he enters. Julian Cross is everything Ethan despises—a reckless underground racer with a dangerous smile, a talent for breaking rules, and absolutely no respect for authority. They can barely stand each other. Then their families announce the unthinkable: to end a decades-long feud, Ethan and Julian must become engaged—and live together for ninety days. What begins as a fake relationship quickly becomes something neither man planned. Arguments turn into jealousy. Provocation turns into attraction. And somewhere between protecting each other and sharing one dangerous kiss, pretending becomes impossible. But both men are hiding something. Ethan isn't merely a billionaire CEO. Julian isn't merely a wild street racer. They are the secret heirs to two enemy families—and someone has been manipulating their families into war for years. When the truth finally explodes, Ethan and Julian find themselves standing on opposite sides with guns pointed at each other. They were supposed to choose their families. Instead, they may choose each other.
