Neil has always been the protector. But this time, I'm going to save him.

Callinthen soldiers have taken the city. I hate seeing my boyfriend Neil so downcast as they flaunt their victory. He already blames himself for the invasion. He's my big strong soldier, but this time he needs someone to rescue him.

My only chance is an invitation to the banquet celebrating the new emperor's victory. The Callinthens' talisman, a "mystical" gemstone, will be there. Maybe I can beat them with trickery, using science to manipulate the gemstone's signals. I can't get caught: the Callinthens aren't known for their mercy. But if I don't try, the city will be stuck under their command forever and Neil will never forgive himself. Trouble is, he's so overprotective of me. He'd never let me attempt my dangerous plan. So I just won't tell him.

Warm and fuzzy MM romance set in a gaslamp fantasy world. Overprotective soldier and feisty pacifist, still playing prisoner and guard for fun. Grumpy/sunshine, size difference and lots of cuddling. Happy For Now ending: Neil and Aaron's story continues in Captive Hearts: Book 3.
