Noah is a straight man forced into a high-paying gay bar job to pay his critically ill sister's medical bills. The bar is dangerous; a gang of thugs targets him with crude sexual harassment. During a violent clash, Noah's desperate struggle draws the attention of Gideon, a cold, untouchable mafia king who rules with fear. Noah thinks his life is over as the gang closes in. Instead Gideon halts the violence and, in a shocking move, offers marriage—an offer that upends Noah's survival plan and exposes a brutal power imbalance between necessity and control. The proposal is a sudden, dangerous bargain: protection at the cost of being claimed by a man from the criminal world.

The bar's neon lights feel like mercy's thin halo. Gideon is written like a storm holding a bouquet.

Every confrontation made my heart race; I felt trapped beside Noah's fear.

Too unfair that Noah has such terrible luck at the bar. Also, Gideon showed up and wrecked my bias charts.
