The Heart of a Man

As High Commander of the inner realms, Imari Ter-Berron knows all about the burden of responsibility. When one of his citizens is falsely accused of a heinous crime, he travels to the outer colonies to personally stop the execution. Imari is prepared for the animosity of the barbaric colonial princes, but not for his reaction to the newest royal—Prince Casvian is everything Imari has ever dreamed of in a man. And the fact that his telepathic powers don’t seem to work on the young royal have him even more intrigued.

Casvian Temuri has a few burdens of his own. Ascending to the Lower Council throne as a replacement for his psychopath brother, Cas wants to reform colony law and improve the lives of his people. And if that wasn’t enough to deal with, he also knows that the man Imari plans to save is truly innocent.

But will sharing all his secrets drive Imari away…or bring them closer together?
