In Crown City’s glitter-drenched Inner Circle, the richest heirs share everything—clubs, scandals, and the one fixer who cleans up their messes. Jace Marblemaw grew up with nothing but grit and a last name people love to mock. Now he’s the Inner Circle’s “public henchman”—the man they call to bury secrets, take falls, patch reputations, and smile while being treated like a disposable tool. Until Darian Kade decides he’s had enough. The cold, untouchable heir of the Kade dynasty doesn’t “rent” Jace like the others. He buys exclusivity. One contract. One year. One owner. Suddenly Jace is dragged into quiet corporate wars, vicious parties, and games played by men who think human lives are toys. Everyone believes Jace still belongs to them. Darian disagrees—violently. And when Jace becomes the target instead of the shield, the entire Inner Circle turns into a battlefield. To survive, he must choose between remaining everyone’s henchman… or becoming the one thing Darian has never allowed anyone else to touch. His. Dark glamour, sharp banter, slow-burn possession, and a fixer who finally learns he’s worth fighting for.
