Alpha Cassian Thorne possesses a rare ylangylang pheromone. This peculiar trait made him the target of ostracism and bullying throughout his boyhood at the orphanage. Only fellow Alpha Evander Graves once came to his rescue. Yet after Evander was taken away by his family, he vanished without a trace.
Years later, to protect his young sister Ophelia, Cassian is forced to sign a highpaid companionship contract. He reunites with longlost Evander at a private club. Having undergone familyordered memory erasure, Evander no longer recognises Cassian. He only knows Cassian is a physically robust Alpha, and the two enter a strictly monetary transactional relationship.
