Summary
Queen Julia of Semele has always shared her bed with King Endimion, her husband of convenience since childhood.

But comfort shatters when Endimion’s gaze shifts, his words take on a dangerous edge, and he declares his intention to have a child—with *her*. The man who once felt like a brother now looms over her, his breath a startling whisper against her ear, his touch igniting an unfamiliar unease. After an incident that leaves her shaken, Julia’s only wish is for two separate beds. Can she reclaim her personal space from a husband who suddenly sees her as more than just a queen, but as his wife in every sense? Discover the unraveling of their unique bond and Julia’s fight for autonomy. Read chapter 1 to witness the beginning of their complicated new reality!
