Cherished

by Colajelly

Amin’s life has never been easy. With a gambling-addict brother and a sick grandfather to care for, he’s used to enduring whatever life throws at him. But when his brother disappears, leaving behind massive debts, Amin is dragged into the criminal underworld in his place. He expects violence, exploitation—maybe even death. What he doesn’t expect is Tae Inbeom: the fearsome head of Unsan, a powerful crime syndicate, who should’ve broken him but instead offers a strange, dangerous kind of affection. Gruff. Intense. Possessive. Inbeom treats Amin like a beloved pet, both terrifying and oddly gentle. And for a boy who’s never had a safe place in the world, that warmth is hard to resist. Even if it means becoming someone else’s possession.
