Story Description:
Maximilian Ashbroune, the spare prince of Ashburn, feels trapped in a life he never chose. While his role as a prince should be one of pride and privilege, Max's greatest struggle is accepting the pressure of his destiny-marriage to a man who will eventually become king. Society expects him to be delicate, soft-spoken, and more feminine because of his attraction to men, but Max defies these expectations. He is a mix of both masculine and feminine traits, unapologetically himself, even though the idea of marriage and everything tied to his sexuality scares him.
On the other hand, Alexandros Vareli, the crown prince of Vireli, is comfortable in his role as the future king. Loved by his people and secure in his future, Alex sees marriage as an opportunity for love-a chance to find someone he truly connects with. Even though royal marriages are often arranged by family, Alex believes that love can grow between two people, and he is open to the idea of an arranged marriage, provided there is mutual respect and affection.
When their paths cross, both Max and Alex find themselves at a crossroads in their lives. Max's fear of marriage clashes with his growing attraction to Alex, and Alex sees in Max the kind of person he could share his life with. The story follows their journey as they navigate the complexities of their royal duties, their feelings for each other, and the expectations that come with being heirs to their respective kingdoms. Will they find the courage to embrace love, or will their fears and obligations tear them apart?
