To the world, Nathan is an ice-cold titan—a CEO who built an empire on ruthless efficiency and iron-clad control. But behind the reinforced glass of his penthouse, he is haunted by a dark, violent history that he keeps buried under tailored suits and a chillingly perfect public persona.
Then he encounters Santa: a brilliant, broken university student barely surviving on the fringes of society after fleeing a nightmare home. Their connection is immediate and unsettlingly deep. Santa is running from a past that threatens to consume him—secrets that Nathan recognizes with terrifying clarity.
When Santa’s past finally catches up, Nathan doesn't call the authorities; he executes a meticulously planned abduction.
Now, Santa is trapped in a gilded cage—his every need met, his every move monitored. He is forced to reconcile his fear of his captor with a devastating truth: the only person capable of keeping him alive is the man who stole his freedom. And as the lines between protection and possession blur, Santa realizes Nathan may have stolen his heart as well.
