What do you get when the next chapter of your life is upon you?

A freedom that most people would envy.

Dylan

As a diamond expert, Dylan Finnick really lived the high life. Not only was she intelligent, driven, and beautiful, but her job gave her the opportunity to travel the world, and what girl didn't want to play with diamonds for a living? She also lived her life unapologetically and had two best friends that accepted her just the way that she was, and she was very aware of how rare that was.

There was also the fact that her personal life was just as great. Though recently widowed, her marriage had been one of companionship more than an epic love story, and while she missed the close friendship that she'd had with her husband, he'd also been in his seventies and had led a good life. So, now that she was single, she was very ready to mingle and did so with no regard to the haters.

Magnus

As the CFO of Kingston Industries, Magnus Saint really lived the high life. As a middle-class kid that had fought his way through life, he was now in a place where it'd been all worth it, and he'd do it all over again with no hesitation. He also made no apologies for how he lived his life, and with the support of his two best friends, the world really was at his fingertips, and he couldn't be happier.

There was also the fact that his personal life was also going well for him, though a bit unconventional. While he was married, it was in name only, and his wife lived in France, blessedly leaving him in peace, something that he appreciated very much. Still, even though he wasn't in love with his wife, and even though she returned the favor, guilt really had a way of holding you hostage, which he knew firsthand.

When unexpected jealousy comes out of nowhere...

Because Dylan isn't looking for anything serious, when Magnus Saint celebrates his divorce by propositioning her for a sex-only arrangement, she agrees on the condition that their friends are safe from any fallout that may or may not happen from the arrangement.

Because Magnus isn't one to lie to himself, when he finds out that Dylan Finnick has slept with the enemy, jealousy has him suggesting an arrangement that could blow up in both their faces if they're not careful, and all he can hope is that no one else suffers for it.

Though Dylan and Magnus are both doing everything that they can to stick to the rules, the waters become murky the more time that they spend together. Still, things become worse when there's a new enemy on the horizon, one that neither of them saw coming.
