The gift of a male war prize is meant to insult him.
It ruins him.

The last thing Damon needs is to return home from war with this heavily-scarred, beautiful man amongst his spoils. But Damon’s jealous brother threatens to put the frightened creature to the sword if Damon refuses his gift.

The rumours about Damon’s preferences for men in his bed have dogged him all his life. Preferences that are a crime in the Azurian Empire. An empire that has owned Damon as an indentured soldier for two decades.

And as the illegitimate son of the Crown Prince, Damon has many enemies. Enemies who would love to expose his secrets. If his true nature were uncovered now, just as he gains his hard won freedom, he’d lose everything to shame and exile.

But every time Damon looks at his unwanted treasure, he is tempted by the only thing that could destroy him.

And Damon’s war prize has terrible secrets of his own. Secrets in the scars that cover his skin.
