I ran from him once… but fate dragged me back—to marry him.
After years away, Haru returns to his hometown expecting awkward silence from his cold father and gentle comfort from his mother. But instead, he’s greeted with the shock of a lifetime—his marriage has already been arranged.
To Lucien.
The man who made his college life unbearable.
The man Haru vowed to forget… and now must call his husband.
Their reunion is anything but sweet. While Lucien seems stunned—and strangely happy—to see Haru again, Haru’s heart is filled with rage, pain, and unanswered questions.
He can’t escape. His father won’t listen. And Lucien… Lucien won’t let go.
Now forced to share a home, a name, and a bed, Haru is determined to stay cold. But what happens when old scars start to bleed, truths begin to surface, and Haru realizes the man he hates might be hiding his own heartbreak?
Is it still hate... or something far more dangerous?
