Tharn Rattanakosin inherited power, money, and a family empire built along Bangkok's river. He also inherited the parts of that empire no one wants discussed in daylight. Determined to sever his family's ties to the old trade and build something legitimate, Tharn expects resistance from the men who profited from the shadows. What he does not expect is how quickly resistance will turn personal. Mek Saengchan wants nothing to do with syndicate politics. A former Royal Thai Navy SEAL with an uncompromising moral code, he has spent years refusing offers from men like Tharn. But when Tharn proposes an arrangement that could prevent a wider war, Mek agrees to become more than a bodyguard. He becomes Tharn's fake fiancé. The engagement is supposed to be theater: a public alliance designed to freeze Tharn's enemies, reassure his allies, and keep both men alive long enough to change the rules. But behind closed doors, the act becomes harder to control. Tharn's elegance hides loneliness and steel. Mek's discipline hides old wounds and a dangerous capacity for loyalty. As threats close in across the river, their pretend partnership becomes the one thing neither man can afford to lose. The Glass River Pact is a standalone contemporary MM romantic suspense novel featuring a fake fiancé arrangement, a protective bodyguard, forced proximity, opposites attract tension, crime-family reform, hurt/comfort, and a love story forged under pressure.
