[#1 gaymen] At the heart of the kingdom stand two young men raised on opposite sides of power. One was born to rule and the other learned how to survive. A prince bound by duty. A trainer he cannot trust... or resist. An arranged marriage looms on the horizon. Julian never expected his life to be this tangled, and Theo never imagined guarding the prince would stir feelings he's long tried to ignore. Caught between loyalty, desire, and danger, they must navigate a journey full of challenges-and each other. A story of tension, forbidden attraction, and choices that could change everything. Will hearts survive the thorns along the way?

| #1 mlm | Mike is a royal guard - trained to follow orders, not feelings. But when the ruthless king tightens his grip on the kingdom, Mike is thrust into an unexpected journey that will test every oath he's ever sworn. At his side are two men who couldn't be more different: Prince William - his childhood friend, loyal and golden-hearted, bound by duty as much as Mike. Kai - the sharp-tongued thief with rebel ties, who looks at him like he's something worth stealing. The prince and the thief despise each other. They both want him. And Mike knows that no matter whom he chooses, someone's heart will break. As rebellion sparks and secrets threaten to burn the kingdom to ash, love might be the most reckless danger of all - especially when you're caught between duty and desire. # 1 - theif # 1 - gayrelationship # 1 - guard # 2 - menxmen # 2 - gayfiction # 2 - men # 3 - boys # 5 - wattpride # 6 - bxblove # 8 - pride # 22 - lgbt
