ABOUT THE BOOK:
When love and loyalty collide, only the truth can reunite two long-lost loves in this royal, second-chance romance.
​
Royal advisor, Baas, never stopped loving the woman he was forced to send away. When Shaya unexpectedly returns, he sees a long-awaited chance at happiness. However, winning back her trust and uncovering the secrets that led to their separation proves more difficult than navigating the royal court.
​
Shaya still yearns for her first love, but she is haunted by a past mistake that could end their reunion. An enemy threatening to expose her long-hidden truth makes her wary of getting close again.
​
With everything stacked against them, can Baas and Shaya put aside the past and face the future hand in hand? Or will long-buried secrets and dangerous foes doom their heart's desire once more? When love and loyalty collide, only truth and trust can set them free.
