Summary
Donghyuck had been dreaming of the future for as long as he could remember. Some futures bend. Others break him no matter how he fights. And the newest one ends with a marriage he never chose and a fate he refuses to accept.
To escape a life that’s closing in on him, he turns to Prince Mark Lee, the dethroned heir destined to fall unless someone changes his future too. Donghyuck offers him a deal. All he asks in return is protection.
A contract marriage, a dangerous court, and two doomed futures tangled together. If fate won’t bend, they’ll break it.

Summary
Brought up in an extremely religious family, Lee Donghyuck thought turning eighteen finally meant freedom. He was supposed to leave for college, move out, and get away from a life that always felt too strict and suffocating. Instead, one mistake on his birthday gets him shipped off to St. Constantine’s Boarding Institute, a Catholic boarding school infamous for putting teenagers back on the “right” path.
His roommate, Mark Lee barely speaks, barely looks at Donghyuck, and refuses to tell anyone why he was sent there in the first place. And for someone who is used to getting attention so easily, Donghyuck cannot stand being ignored by him, so he pulls every trick in the book to get Mark’s eyes on him.
The thing is that they are both very sure they are straight. But somewhere between those tricks and curiousity, that certainty begins to blur into something neither of them knows what to do with.
In a place built to erase temptation, they become each other’s worst one.

Summary
Mark hates Donghyuck. He hates everything he represents—the frailty, the softness, the way he yields. He hates the very idea of omegas. Because Mark is an Alpha, a prince of his bloodline, yet he refuses to be dictated by something as primal as instinct. He refuses to be like the rest of them.
And yet, here he is. Bound to one. Donghyuck.
His Alpha wants him. It wants him in ways Mark cannot stomach, in ways that make his teeth ache and his skin itch with the need to take.

Summary
It tasted like summer, tasted like sunshine and like the kind of fruit that Mark wanted to eat on a picnic blanket or on the beach. It wasn’t midnight, it wasn’t a rainy night in New York, it wasn’t what Mark thought he should be drinking but it was maybe what he didn’t know he wanted.
Escaping a past he’d rather leave behind, Mark moves to New
York be a “normal” undergrad and finally write his novel. Instead, he just finds himself isolated, anonymous, and completely blocked. Tired of the quiet, he wanders into a wine bar on a rainy night and meets Donghyuck, a snarky bartender with a sharp tongue, a messy reality, and the exact right pour to bring Mark back to life.Bookmarked by earcandy
