Summary
“They said I lied,” Hongjoong said, remembering the looks on the guards faces, the way one of them had punched him in the gut and threatened to make him regret lying.
“Did you?” omega asked. There was no curiosity in the voice, like he was asking the question just to entertain Hongjoong or be polite, not because he actually cared for the answer.
He grinned. “Well, yeah. Had I told them that I’m a pirate and I actually had robbed the facility moments ago, I’d be heading straight to the gallows.” Getting hanged really wasn’t in his plans that day. “Are you going to tell me what landed you here?”
“They say,” the voice replied, mimicking his tone, “I stabbed someone.”
“Did you?”
“If I did,” the omega said, “he was a nasty alpha and deserved it.”OR: Hongjoong meets Seonghwa in a prison cell. They're supposed to part the moment they've escaped, but life, as it happens, has other plans. Having a deadly omega on his ship might be the worst and best thing that ever happened to him.

Summary
“I thought I’d lose you tonight,” Seonghwa breathed against his lips.
Hongjoong opened his eyes, just barely, to find Seonghwa’s lashes damp, his mouth parted, vulnerable and wanting. His thumb traced beneath his eye, slow and tender, “You’ll never lose me,” he said and took Seonghwa's hand in both of his. He pressed a kiss to his knuckles. Then another to the center of his palm, warm and breathless, as if trying to soothe the ache Seonghwa wouldn’t name.“Not as long as I can fight for you,”or;
A pirate captain walks into a coastal tavern. A barkeep looks up and something ancient stirs. Across storms, scars, and strange familiarity, their bond forms fast. But the sea has always taken what they love too deeply.
Love isn’t always enough to outrun fate.

Summary
Kim Hongjoong doesn't want to be the crown prince. He never did. While his parents force him to attend boring meetings and boring lessons with the hope of making him a better leader, Hongjoong is thinking of the sketchbook hidden beneath his bed. The one full of dozens of designs, spectacular pieces he dreams of bringing to life and sharing with the world. But a prince can't be a fashion designer. At least, not publicly.
Park Seonghwa needs a job. Desperately. After being let go from his fourth job in a year, Seonghwa will take just about anything. Following a public breach of security involving the crown prince's personal assistant, Seonghwa takes a shot in the dark and applies for the job.
Thrust into the world of royals, Seonghwa is determined to make this job last. A task that proves to be difficult with someone as standoffish and impatient as Prince Hongjoong.
But behind that stoic demeanor is a gentleness and playfulness that Hongjoong has not felt the need to show anyone else in years. Not until Seonghwa's bright eyed optimism started to crack away at his walls.
As Hongjoong secretly brings his dreams into fruition, he begins to wonder if a different kind of dream is within his reach.

Summary
Yeosang was sixteen.
Too pretty for his own good. Too quiet. Too polite. The kind of beauty that drew unwanted eyes, even when he was dressed in plain clothes and bowed so low his forehead kissed the floor.
He belonged to no one.
And that was dangerous.
San met him in Kyoto.
In the home of a politician who liked to "collect" pretty things. Yeosang had been brought out to serve tea—to smile, bow, and disappear into the background. Like a vase. Like a doll.
San was already wealthy then. Already feared.
And the moment Yeosang stepped into the room—elegant, silent, too composed for someone so young—San didn’t look away.
Not once.
“Who’s that?” San had asked, even though he never asked about servants.
The politician laughed. “That one? Korean. Abandoned in the city years ago. I keep him around for display.”San’s eyes didn’t move. “I’ll take him.”
