What do you do when love casts the most powerful spell of all?

Curran has spent years hiding a hopeless crush on Marlin—his brother’s best friend and a bodyguard sworn to protect the king. Marlin is everything Curran can’t have—he’s loyal, honorable, and off-limits. Curran has nearly convinced himself he can bury those feelings forever, but one night changes everything.

Marlin never thought Curran could want him. He’s spent years keeping his feelings locked away, unwilling to risk his friendship with Curran’s brother for something he doesn’t believe exists until a night of drunken passion changes everything.

That night leaves Curran with an impossible-to-ignore consequence—he’s pregnant. It’s not his only problem because he ends up in the plans of a dragon who wants to use him to kill the king, which means he has to rely on Marlin, the one person he’s trying to avoid.

Love was never part of the plan. But sometimes, fate has a mind of its own.
