The Deal: Between Love and Favors

Salin just wanted to survive.

Drowning in debt, desperate to pay for his mother’s surgery, he had no way out. The last thing he expected was that one kiss with a stranger would turn his world upside down.



Jun-Ho was cold, dangerous, a mafia heir and scarred by a past that made him reject any kind of touch. He had never felt desire. Never wanted anyone.

Until Salin.



One kiss changed everything. Fear turned into craving. A frozen body stirred. But Jun-Ho didn’t know how to deal with it, so he made an offer Salin couldn’t refuse:



“Pretend to be my fiancé. In return, your debt disappears.”



Salin agreed. Because he had to.

But also... because he wanted to.



Jun-Ho’s gaze promised pleasure. His touch trembled. And Salin wanted more. But Jun-Ho wanted too, and couldn’t act on it. And that slowly tore them both apart.



Salin teased, surrendered, backed off, then tried again.

Jun-Ho burned, torn between fear and longing. Between panic and pleasure.



And when the touch finally happened… it was too much. Intense. Addictive. Overwhelming.



The problem? Neither of them knew how to stop.

What started as a deal turned into obsession, desire, and danger.
