description: With love the line between happiness and heartache is all too easy to cross.One of Ylandres most prominent nobles Keosqe Deilen may have had it all in terms of wealth power and social rank. But in matters of the heart he was impoverished. Such was the consequence of falling in unrequited love. Though he hides that love and his sorrow well a few inevitably see through his masquerade.Young Tristen Marante is quick to discern Keosqes pain. His blunt sympathy is a balm to Keosqes wounded heart as much as his beauty is an effective distraction from the nobles hopeless yearning. But Tristen is a skittish would-be lover whose reluctance to express his affection is as much an impediment as the lack of reciprocation from Keosqes first love had been. Whereas Keosqe seeks intimacy Tristen shies from it suspicious of the motives behind his pursuit and unwilling to yield his heart so easily or soon.With such different perspectives toward lust and love is it any wonder their path to a common goal is strewn with stumbling blocks and paved with false impressions?Contains hermaphroditism and explicit homoerotic sexual encounters.
