Royally heartbroken

Some crowns are heavy,
Some hearts heal slowly but Love was never meant to break a crown.

Liam was a prince destined to wear the crown.

Leyton was a noble-born heir destined to stand beside him.

Their futures had been decided before they were even old enough to understand what love was. An arranged marriage. A kingdom's promise. A duty neither of them could escape.

But fate had a twisted sense of humor.

Meeting as strangers in high school, neither knows the other's true identity. What begins as stolen glances, sarcastic banter, and late-night conversations slowly grows into something neither of them expected... first love.

For the first time, they get to choose each other.

Until reality comes knocking,
duty demands they return home. The crown is heavy, family comes first, and kingdoms don't bend for broken hearts. Torn apart by the very destiny that brought them together, they must decide whether love is worth fighting for... or if some stories are written to end in heartbreak.

Because sometimes, loving someone isn't enough.

Sometimes, royalty doesn't get a happily ever after.

A heartbreaking M/M royal romance filled with first love, hidden identities, arranged marriage, longing, emotional angst, and the impossible choice between love and duty.
