The Gentleman’s Vice

Jonatan has spent centuries mastering the art of control.

Elegant, powerful, and feared throughout the supernatural world, he once believed that desire was the greatest weapon a gentleman could possess. His curse fed on temptation, emotional weakness, and the need to possess what he feared losing.

Then he met Simon.

Simon was never supposed to become important to him. He was certainly never supposed to become the one person capable of breaking through centuries of manipulation, fear, and carefully constructed defenses.

But their connection changes everything.

When an ancient enemy threatens Simon, Jonatan must confront the darkest parts of himself—and the terrible truth that his greatest danger may not be his supernatural power, but his inability to let go.

After years of believing that protection and possession were the same thing, Jonatan finally learns that love cannot be forced. Simon may forgive him, but trust must be rebuilt through honesty, freedom, and choice.

Yet defeating the curse comes at a devastating price.

As the remnants of an ancient pact threaten to return, Simon and Jonatan must face the darkness beneath Blackthorn House and confront the supernatural force that has controlled Jonatan for centuries. To survive, Jonatan must willingly surrender the power that once defined him.

But even after the curse is broken, darkness may not be finished with them.

In a world of ancient bargains, supernatural aristocrats, dangerous temptation, and gothic secrets, Simon and Jonatan discover that true love is not about possession.

It is about choosing each other freely.
