"Do you need help?"

"Help?" The young man laughed and dabbed at his face with a bit of the napkin roll on the table. It looked like a toilet paper in the U.S. but in Seoul it was table tissue. "You've already been a big help."

"Who is that guy, anyway?"

"My boss." There was something dark and off about how the young man said the phrase. He was still speaking English, and he spoke it like an American. No accent at all. He sounded suspiciously like he was about to either collapse or cry.

Damian Sathers escaped an attempted murder charge at seventeen. Ever since he's worked to put his natal family behind him, except for sending his sister money on birthdays and Christmas. Life gave him one chance and he took it with both hands, rising to build a boutique international law firm that conducts business on both sides of the Pacific. His chosen family, The Residency, have been through it all with him. They are the men with whom he shares his nights and his days. But two years ago, he met a young man he can't forget. But they exist half a world apart, under rules that would never let them be together.

Gang Junseo passes as Korean in the Kpop idol industry, even though his mother was Chinese. He's the lead vocal and song writer for a popular group. They've had world tours and chart topping comeback after comeback. But behind stage he'd being driven to the edge by his manager. The debt for the care and training incurred when his father handed him over to the talent agency as a child never seems to be any closer to being paid off, and he's not getting younger. One night he dares slip away with a dark foreigner. Now he carries a third secret. He's in love with a man. A foreign man. And his contract doesn't even allow him to date a woman.

Secrets that neither man know are crashing towards them and their connection stands in the center of the crucible. Predators are circling, willing to kill to stay hidden. Who will hunt and who will be the hunted now?

Can they fight the past and present, or will they lose each other and their own freedom beneath the greed and fear of those playing puppet masters from the shadows?
