Don't Sign the Divorce

Abandoned at the altar and blamed for the destruction of the Empire's legendary First Fleet, Commander Elias carries permanent scars, a shattered reputation, and a marriage that seems doomed from the very beginning. His reluctant husband, young Duke Cassian Blackthorne, missed their wedding while risking his life to retrieve a rare Moon-Sand Bondstone—a gift Elias never knew about. As divorce papers draw closer, Cassian refuses to let Elias walk away. Behind his stoic façade lies unwavering devotion, and beneath Elias's icy pride is a man still haunted by betrayal. Together, they uncover a conspiracy involving corrupted nobles, illegal mineral trafficking, black-market deals, and the decades-old plot that sacrificed the First Fleet. While exposing the truth before the entire Empire, Elias gradually reclaims his honor, and Cassian proves that love is a choice—not an arrangement imposed by fate. From political intrigue and explosive mech battles to slow-burn romance and heartfelt healing, the two fight side by side against enemies, prejudice, and their own fears. In the end, the fallen commander rises again, the young duke earns his trust, and the divorce papers become nothing more than ashes before a future they finally choose together.
