When Stars Refuse to Fade

"Your Highness, I know I can't claim you, yet my heart refuses to let you go. I wanted to set you free, but it's me who remains bound-chained to a love I can't escape."

Keeno's love for Jayde was boundless-his anchor in the storm, his reason to keep going despite the pain. Yet even as their hearts mirrored one another, Keeno knew their love was forbidden. On the day Jayde offered him forever, Keeno made the most excruciating choice of his life. He forced Jayde to marry a woman and forget about him. With a shattered heart, Keeno fled the kingdom, determined to bury the love that he knew wasn't for him.

Six years later, destiny destiny was merciless when it led Keeno back to the person he both wants to see yet never wanted to meet again. When Keeno and Jayde met again, the fire between them had not dimmed-it burned even brighter, more consuming than before. Desire pulled them together, even as duty and fear tore them apart. No matter how far Keeno tried to run, fate kept leading him back to the man he had once forsaken. Now, faced with the same impossible choice, Keeno must decide if he will sacrifice his heart once more, or finally fight for the love that was always his?
