About this listen
When love and loyalty collide, truth alone can reunite two long-lost loves in this royal second-chance romance.
Royal advisor Baas never stopped loving the woman he was forced to send away. When Shaya unexpectedly returns, he sees his chance at happiness—but winning back her trust proves more challenging than any task he’s faced.
Though Shaya’s heart still yearns for her first love, a devastating secret from her past threatens their reunion. As an enemy plots to expose her, Shaya must decide if protecting herself is worth losing Baas again. With palace schemes and old wounds standing between them, can they build a future together? Or will their second chance at love crumble like their first?

Story
You've been his for years, and I respected it. Maintained my distance. Kept my silence. My secret. Until that night you came to me, disillusioned, angry and hurt. God help us both, but I crossed my carefully drawn line before you left, disappeared. Now, you're back, and my need for you is a beast that hasn't been fed and has grown hungrier in the years since I've seen you. I remind myself we can't be more than friends, that you're off-limits to me. But it doesn't stop me from secretly craving what can never be mine.

Story
After a horrific incident, Nite and his twin Dai are left to fend for themselves. Living recklessly in the fast lane, the twins flirt with danger, not caring about the aftermath of their actions. Partying, popping pills, and getting money are just a few ways they cope with their untreated childhood trauma. Without the guidance of a strong male figure and the love of a nurturing mother, they can come off as rude and callous.

You may remember the names June and Free from the series Insane 4 U. They were briefly mentioned, and with their quick introduction, we could all take a wild guess and realize that the two of them had the ability to put the T in toxic. June is Insane's big brother, and now, it's his turn to have his own story. June and Free have had this situationship going on for a few years now, and while some may admire their relationship, others will agree that it's toxic and draining. They could be good for each other, but for some reason, they just can't get it right.

For the last sixteen years, Trinidad Velasquez has done everything right. Raised her twin sons on her own, worked her butt off and created a stable life. But Trinidad is done waiting for a happy ending to show up at her door, and when her current boyfriend proposes, she can’t help but wonder if, at her age, love should be practical, not butterflies and heart-racing chemistry. But then her teenage sons trick her into a Caribbean Carnival vacation. And she finds herself staying with the one guy who’s always revved her engine…even if he’s a decade south of her dating range.
