   Summary

   Three years after aging out of the foster system, Kagehira Mika has never been more down on his luck. He learned an important lesson growing up—good things never last, and the past three years have continued to prove that true. That is until a chance encounter throws him into a life he’d never imagined having.

   When Itsuki Shu, Editor in Chief of CosPro, one of the biggest fashion magazines out there, takes a life-changing chance on him, Mika isn’t sure what to think. He knows it can’t last. It’s far too good to be permanent and he sure as hell isn’t cut out to be a model, if you ask him.

   Mika isn’t used to being wanted, by anyone, in any way at all. Meanwhile Shu has never wanted anything in his life as much as he wants Mika, in any way he can have him.
