Summary:

Alaric Thorne, a low-level demon, has signed a contract to uncover a certain man's secret. It should be a simple project. A little spying, some nosing around, but nothing that expends too much energy.

Yet somehow, said target approaches him first and gifts him poisonous flowers.

Somehow, he finds himself inside his target's antique mansion.

Somehow, his target is bathing, feeding, and sleeping with him.

And as Alaric lies within his target's arm, burrito-style, gazing out the expensive, ridiculously luxurious window panes, something seems to call his name. Something between the horizon, but he can't name what.

In a world where only alphas can enter the halls of power and heat-suppressing herbs rarely work, Michelozzo and Rinaldo are exceptional omegas. They’ve disguised themselves as alphas so successfully that they’ve climbed the ranks of the Office of Justice, trusted by their city’s wealthiest to uphold law and order. But when a flood uncovers bloody secrets, and the aftermath of an assault leaves Rinaldo close to death, Michelozzo confronts the truly high price they’ve paid—with their happiness and their bodies—to do the bidding of the rich and powerful.
