The Unexpected Bond

After waking in the bed of Julian Vale, the stranger from a drunken but consensual night in Napa, Milo Hart tries to treat the encounter as a mistake. Julian refuses to forget him. As their attraction collides with workplace harassment, family debt, an unexpected pregnancy, and Julian's enormous privilege, Milo insists that love cannot cost him his career, property, name, or freedom. Julian must learn that commitment is not a contract he can impose, while Milo must decide whether being loved can finally mean being seen without being owned.
