She has the beauty, accolades, and career to match, and since creating the Soulmate Code, she’s become the youngest billionaire in her city. She’s reached the top of the ladder she’s been climbing all her life, run out of problems to solve, and now she’s facing the bitter truth. She doesn’t believe in any of it, including the futility of falling in love.

After centuries of watching humanity ruin everything they claim to cherish, the God of Desire is cynical, yet vaguely curious about the powerful force at the core of mortal zeal. In an unexpected confrontation that leaves him infected with the forbidden attraction he invokes in others, he is struck by the mortal woman who has captured his attention.

Tethered by a collision of desire and skepticism, the two of them discover what it means to love and be loved as they decipher between its cosmic energy and the divine burn of lust.

Code of Conduct is a God x mortal, forbidden romance exploring the intersection between desire and love.
