A King Awakened — Cooper Davis

Julian Baribeau spent ten years training at a discreet establishment, one known for grooming aristocratic bed slaves. In all that time, he longed for only one thing: love in the arms of a nobleman, one who would ultimately claim him as husband. So, when he's made King Arend's concubine, his dream appears near fruition. Until he learns that Arend long ago swore off love, vowing he'd never open his heart again.

Despite his past, Arend finds himself in a dangerous free-fall, making Julian even more determined to find a permanent place with the man he's fallen for. But when Arend's council insists that he take a new queen and sire more heirs, Julian must battle far more than his king's guarded heart.
