He signed a contract. He didn’t sign up to fall in love.

Caleb Reyes is twenty-four, running on fumes, and three months from losing the garage his father died begging him to save. When a venture capital firm buys the block his shop sits on, Caleb storms into the CEO’s corner office ready for a fight — and walks out with the most dangerous deal of his life.

Dominic Ashford doesn’t do relationships. He does arrangements. Clean, contractual, time-limited. Six months. His penthouse. His rules. In exchange, the garage is saved, the debts are erased, and Caleb gets to keep the one thing his father left him. All Caleb has to do is surrender.

The problem: Dominic’s last arrangement ended when his partner called him a controlling monster and walked out. He swore he’d never let it get personal again. The contract is supposed to be his armor.

The bigger problem: Caleb was supposed to be a beautiful distraction. Instead, he’s the first person in years who makes Dominic want to tear up the paperwork and just ask.

Because Caleb talks back. Caleb rearranges his bookshelves. Caleb makes terrible pancakes and saves funny stories from the garage and falls asleep on his shoulder during documentaries about Roman aqueducts. Caleb pushes every boundary Dominic sets — not to break them, but to make sure they’re real. And Dominic, who has spent three years believing his love is too much for anyone to bear, discovers that the man in his penthouse doesn’t want him to be less. He wants him to be everything.

But when a ruthless business partner threatens to expose their arrangement to the press, Dominic makes the worst mistake of his life: he tries to protect Caleb by lying to him. And Caleb Reyes — a man who survived his mother leaving, his father dying, and $340,000 of debt — can survive anything except being lied to by the one person he trusted with the walls down.

Terms of Surrender is a 107,000-word high-heat MM romance featuring a silver-fox billionaire who loves too intensely and a stubborn mechanic who’s never been loved enough, a contract that starts as a cage and ends as confetti on a garage floor, praise kink that will rearrange your nervous system, the most devastating bath scene in the genre, a first-edition book that will make you cry, and a guaranteed happily ever after built on the revolutionary act of letting someone see you completely and choosing to stay.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of MM romance is this?

This is a billionaire/blue-collar age-gap romance with significant D/s dynamics. Dominic (48) is a natural dominant — controlled, precise, devastatingly attentive. Caleb (24) is a bratty submissive who fights every rule just to feel the structure hold. The power exchange evolves throughout the book from contractual to freely chosen, and the dynamic deepens as both men learn that trust is more powerful than any contract.

How steamy is it?

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 (5/5 flames). Eight explicit scenes spanning the full emotional arc — from a devastating bath scene to silk-tie restraint scenes to a possessive claiming after a gala to reunion sex that will make you cry. The heat serves the story. Every encounter advances the relationship and the emotional stakes. Features praise kink, edging, impact play, and aftercare that hits as hard as the scenes themselves.

Is there a happy ending?

Always. Full HEA including: villain takedown, contract torn up on a garage floor, public kiss in front of the whole neighborhood, a brownstone with a two-car garage, and two men who choose each other permanently — no contract required. No cliffhangers.

Is this part of a series?

Terms of Surrender is a complete standalone with a full HEA. Nico Reyes — Caleb’s cousin, the construction worker who showed up at a motel with a truck and a burner phone — will get his own book. Coming soon.
