For the first time, Mother finds himself attracted to someone, and he canāt help wondering what it might be like to courtāand bedāhis handsome new groom.

Vasily Petrov, the fourth son of the king of Koroslova, is travelling incognito for a year. In Koroslova the old ways are the only ways, and a man being attracted to another man is unthinkableāespecially if you're a prince.

Except, heās falling for his stablemasterāand worse, Mother doesnāt know heās a prince, and Vasily doesnāt know how to tell him. And the longer he waits, the more he fears losing what they have when the truth comes out. This was not the plan.
