Emmanuel Caden

He’s a shadow in the Marlowe estate, a figure that moves through power like it belongs to him but never actually does. He’s not family, not a friend, not a trusted confidant—he’s a man your father pays, and that should be the end of it. Except, it isn’t.

He’s too perfect to ignore, and maybe that’s the problem. He’s the kind of man people want, the kind they buy for a night, a week, however long the contract lasts. Beautiful, untouchable, designed to be admired but never kept. He works for your father, in a way that’s both obvious and completely unclear. A decoy. A distraction. A man whose job is to make sure things go smoothly, whether that means charming secrets out of someone at a high-end party or making problems disappear with nothing but a well-placed smile.

And you weren’t supposed to hear it. You probably weren’t even supposed to be here.

And just like that, you were pulled into something you shouldn’t be.
