He only sees him once a year—at a masquerade where names are forbidden and masks never come off.

Decades ago, Aurelio fell under the spell of a masked lover at the infamous Starlit Masquerade, a sensual evening where the rules of propriety seem to bend. Their nights were wild, unforgettable, and entirely anonymous—just how the enchanted Valentine’s ball was designed to be. Since then, Aurelio has returned year after year, aching for another night in the arms of the Fae who left him breathless.

But this year, something shifts.

Enter Myles Anthysius—the Secretary of the Sovereign and everything Aurelio never knew he wanted: poised, kind, disarmingly charming. As Myles begins to chip away at the walls around his heart, Aurelio must face a choice between an untouchable fantasy and the very real, very unmasked male who sees him for who he is.

Will he cling to the past, or finally allow himself to be known?
