    Summary

    "Do you think there's something wrong with me?" Shane broke the silence, lifting his gaze slightly. Ilya frowned and shook his head no immediately. "Ilya... there has to be. These meltdowns or whatever they are aren't normal. I know that."

    "Not being 'normal' doesn't mean you have a problem, Shane," Ilya countered softly, resting his chin against his husband's temple, settling him even closer against his body.

    "I'm sorry..." Shane's voice came out small. His unfocused gaze wandered around the room while his fingers mechanically scratched under Anya's chin. She was now blinking slowly, surrendering to sleep.

    "For what?"

    "It's just..." Shane let out a shaky sigh. "You're the one with depression. I'm the one who should be taking care of you, not the other way around. Having these meltdowns..."

    Summary

    Prince Ilya Rozanov likes slipping beyond the palace walls after midnight, trading his crown for the name Nikolai, a cloth merchant who drinks with blacksmiths and plays cards with vagrants. Among commoners, he is free—untitled, unguarded, unseen. On one such night, he meets Shane Hollander: disciplined, sharp-eyed, newly arrived in the capital. A card game becomes a challenge. The challenge becomes heat. By the end of the night, they choose each other without hesitation. It isn’t meant to be anything more. By morning, Shane is presented at court as the crown prince’s newly appointed personal guard. And the prince he is sworn to protect is the man who called himself Nikolai. Ilya, in turn, discovers that the stranger from the tavern is now bound to him by oath and duty. What should have ended at dawn refuses to. Despite the weight of their titles—and the scrutiny of a palace built on image, obedience, and control—they continue in secret. What begins as want deepens into something quieter, sharper, and far more dangerous. Because in Zakoria, the most scandalous thing a prince and his knight can share isn’t desire. It’s love.
