To save his critically ill foster brother, ER nurse Milo Hayes accepts a fortune to become the private caregiver of Sebastian Cross, a ruthless billionaire heir dying from Aurora Heart Failure. Milo’s rare body can calm the deadly energy tearing Sebastian apart—but one uncontrolled resonance changes everything: Milo becomes pregnant with Sebastian’s child.
The unborn baby carries a stable Aurora core, making Milo more valuable—and more vulnerable—than anyone imagined. Sebastian’s powerful family sees an heir. His fiancée sees a threat. A rival cousin sees the key to a forbidden experiment. As forged evidence, abduction, public scandal, and a battle for control close in, Milo refuses to let anyone turn him or his child into property.
Sebastian claims he will protect them, yet Milo cannot forget that their relationship began as a transaction—and that Sebastian once needed him only to survive. Is the cold-hearted heir truly choosing Milo, or merely guarding the cure growing inside him?
With enemies hidden inside the Cross empire and the baby’s powers beginning to awaken, Milo must decide who to trust before the family takes everything from him. But the greatest danger may not be the people hunting the Aurora heir—it may be what the child is becoming.
