Elian, a beggar with nothing to lose, died tragically, only to awaken in the body of the despised bastard son of a powerful Grand Duke in the Arcanoria Empire. His second chance at life quickly turned into a nightmare when the Grand Duke’s household was executed, and Elian was sold into servitude as a courtesan. In this cruel new existence, Elian crossed paths with Izan, the enigmatic crown prince who harbored dark secrets of his own. As they grew closer, a forbidden love began to blossom, one that could upend the delicate balance of power in the empire and destroy them both. Torn between survival, betrayal and desire, Elian and Izan faced impossible choices. Could they defy the forces threatening to tear them apart, or would the empire crush their love before it even had a chance to begin? --- Warning: This book contains mature themes.

The days had grown hectic for Izan, his time stretched thin between assisting his father with daily meetings, overseeing the details of his own wedding preparations, and organizing his upcoming coronation.
Yet amid the whirlwind, he found himself returning to a quiet, unassuming task that became a welcome escape: creating a nursery for his and Elian's unborn child.
With the discreet help of Dillion and Jaxon, he'd carefully planned each detail, from choosing gentle colors to selecting soft furnishings that seemed to whisper comfort and warmth.
Each moment he spent designing the nursery added to his anticipation and joy for the life he and Elian were building together.
