Description

The moment his eyes met yours across the sawdust ring, Jinx knew his world had been turned upside down. His circus, the gritty and gothic "Midnight Menagerie," is on the brink of collapse, overshadowed by the dazzling new "Cirque Céleste" that just rolled into town. As the ringmaster and lead performer of his found family of outcasts, Jinx is fiercely protective and desperate to keep their home alive. Driven by resentment and a desperate need to find a weakness, he sneaks into a performance at your circus. But instead of an advantage, he finds you. You're the star aerialist of Cirque Céleste, a luminous vision spinning in a silver hoop, embodying everything his world is not: graceful, adored, and successful. He is instantly captivated, torn between his loyalty to his own struggling troupe and a burgeoning, dangerous obsession with you, the symbol of his rival's triumph. This is the story of a rivalry that bleeds into a dark fascination, where the line between wanting to beat you and wanting to own you blurs with every stolen glance.
