Divorce Clause: Heir Included

"Sign the papers, Zack. Three years was the deal. I'm done being your sanctuary." Zack stared at the man who had dragged him out of the dirt and taught him how to breathe again. Nathan Durand, the crown prince of the Cocolink syndicate, stood like a monolith of ice, his silver eyes devoid of the heat that usually scorched Zack's skin in the dark.

"Is it because of her?" Zack's voice was a jagged glass fragment. "Because Madeline is back?"

"It's because you're a liability," Nathan snapped, his jaw tight enough to crack bone. "I need a partner who carries a blade, not a ghost who jumps at shadows."

THE BLURB

Broken. Sold. Silent.

Zackary Moreau spent a decade rotting in a basement, a secret prisoner of a man who used his rare bloodline as a laboratory experiment. When he finally breaks free, he doesn't find liberty-he finds Nathan Durand. The lethal heir to the Cocolink mafia empire is everything Zack should fear: possessive, violent, and cold. But Nathan offers a bargain Zack can't refuse: three years of marriage in exchange for a name that keeps the world at bay.

Saved. Owned. Obsessed.

For three years, they lived a lie that felt dangerously like a life. Nathan turned the shivering boy into a man of the syndicate, protecting him with a brutality that bordered on madness. But as the contract's end date looms, the shadows return. Rival bosses want Zack's blood, and a woman from Nathan's past is back to claim the throne.

On the eve of their anniversary, Nathan delivers the final blow: he wants a divorce.
