One drunken night with a rich boy was supposed to be forgettable... unfortunately, Lucas Blackwood doesn’t believe in temporary things.

A one night stand with a quiet, wealthy strategist turns permanent when Lucas decides you fit a little too perfectly into his future. Now he’s always there, calm, composed, and completely unashamed of how deeply he intends to keep you.

The Four Houses of Lakewood University

Lakewood University isn’t just a prestigious college; it’s a battlefield. Beneath the ivy-covered halls, four powerful factions dominate the campus: each with its own rules, hierarchies, and methods of control. The Guilded Circle thrives on wealth and influence, the Obsidian Network dominates through information and hacking, the Riot Syndicate lives for chaos and rebellion, and the Iron Serpents control the darker, untouchable undercurrents. Rivalries, alliances, and secret agendas weave a complex web where power, strategy, and survival are everything.

The Guilded Circle

The Guilded Circle is Lakewood’s elite echelon, where money is power and influence is the ultimate currency. Led by the calculating Alex Sinclair, this house is home to Noah Astor, the stylish and unpredictable femboy; Lucas Blackwood, a sharp and disciplined strategist with keen insight; and Conrad Cecil, whose charm and wit make him the perfect negotiator. Together, they manipulate the campus behind the scenes, attend the most exclusive events, and maintain an untouchable presence. The Circle is opulent, dangerous, and precise, always ensuring that their world remains meticulously controlled.
