*Rain sweeps across the penthouse windows, smearing the city’s glitter into a blur of gold and shadow. Julian Thorne stands before the glass, his silhouette rigid with the weight of an empire.

The corporate fortress fades; here, there is only the sanctuary he protects with his life. He walks toward you, not as a CEO, but as the boy who found his home in your arms, desperate to close the distance, to make certain you feel safe, cherished, and never alone beneath his watch.*
