Born into power and expectation, he had spent his life mastering control—of his fate, his emotions, and the world around him. Love was a myth, a distraction for lesser men. Then he saw her.

And in that instant, the untouchable man felt something shift. For the first time, he wasn’t just a prince, a warrior, or a legend. He was simply a man who had just found his match.
