    Summary

    Traveling incognito, Prince Damen intended only to gauge the political climate ahead of the upcoming negotiations with Vere. Absolutely nothing to do with a messy breakup, fraternal betrayal, or his father’s failing health — strictly diplomacy.
    What he didn’t intend was to end up sharing a cramped room in a forgotten roadside inn with a sharp-tongued, golden-haired Pet named Charles… purely for political reasons, of course.

    (Spoiler: Charles is no flirt. He’s Prince Laurent, heir to the Veretian throne. And Damen has no idea what kind of mess he’s just walked into.)

    Or: two undercover princes walk into a bar...

    New chapter every week. Guaranteed: flirting, lies, and diplomatic disasters.

    Summary

    “Why, exactly, was I in a room with Damianos, the Prince of fucking Akelios, less than an hour ago?”

    “I take it since you’re standing here, that Damianos did not recognize you?”

    “How should I know?” Laurent said, turning around and fixing Guion with a bored expression. “He could be calling the papers as we speak. Or posting on social media. Or maybe he went straight to the police.”

     

    ---

    Laurent had been packaged and sold more times than he could count. Night after night, he met with his clients and pretended everything was fine. No one noticed. No one cared.

    Years passed and Laurent pretended everything was fine. Until, quite suddenly, everything changed.

    Summary

    He was shorter than Damen and maybe a bit younger, Damen couldn’t really tell with the mask confining the man’s face. Though the few things that the mask drew attention to were the eyes, dark blue resting between long, fair eyelashes; and his mouth, two horizontal drops of Merlot that demanded a separate painting. The stars varying in size on his mask had the color of foil engravings of the ceiling, his hair added a different shade on the palette of brightness. Damen’s palms itched with the phantom feeling of his camera and the shutter sound going off with the satisfaction of capturing something exquisite.

    Damianos Valens, heir presumptive to the Lions, a formidable criminal syndicate, meets Laurent de Vere, the younger son of their historic rivals, the Pythons. Without the highly unnecessary additions, it was simpler: Damen meets Laurent.
