Enter Lorne, a brooding bladesmith who becomes dangerously attracted to his mysterious "boy" companion, and things get very complicated when he discovers the truth. Buckle up for a steamy time-travel romance where the fantasy gets real, the banter is sharp, and the chemistry is absolutely explosive!
