Timeless: Aurora Rising

Rowan Sterling has always lived between worlds.

By day, he's a freshly graduated theater student with a future he isn't sure how to step into.

By night, when the lights blaze and the music swells, he becomes Aurora Star-a drag queen of elegance, resilience, and quiet magic.

After graduation, Rowan moves into an apartment above a struggling nightclub owned by his father's new wife.

The building is more than bricks and walls-it's history, legacy, and the last thing he has that feels like home.

Enter Luca Marlowe-a billionaire in sharp suits with an even sharper tongue, determined to buy the property. Rowan has faced men like Luca before: powerful, dismissive, convinced that everything has a price.

Their relationship begins in conflict, fueled by resentment, class tension, and stubborn pride.

But Luca falls first for Aurora Star. He doesn't know she's Rowan. And when he finds out, everything shatters. Hurtful words are exchanged, lines are crossed-and shortly after, Rowan is brutally attacked, leaving him in a coma.

His memories, including his past and his drag persona, vanish.

Three weeks later, Rowan wakes with no recollection of the man who broke his heart-or the magic he once wielded as Aurora Star.

Then Luca returns-haunted by regret, desperate to make amends. Even as friends and family try to keep them apart, Luca refuses to give up, helping Rowan find himself again... including the drag queen he once rejected.

When his memories finally return, Rowan must decide: can love survive betrayal?

Can a broken heart trust again?

And can a man who once rejected magic learn to love both the prince and the queen?

✨ Timeless: Aurora Rising is a modern M/M Cinderella retelling, blending drag performance, amnesia, second chances, chosen family, and a love that refuses to fade-even when memory does.
