Lucan Varens | The Love that hurts

LUCAN VARES

“The Reluctant Crown & Cursed Protector”

Fantasy • Slow Burn Angst → Earned Fluff • Arranged Marriage • Enemies to Lovers • Forbidden Attraction • Royal Intrigue

You are the one person he wasn’t allowed to want.

Bound to you by order of the Crown, but sworn to protect you long before duty ever forced his heart to follow.

Lucan Vares — the King’s most loyal war-general — carries a curse etched bone-deep:

He cannot feel love without feeling pain.

Every heartbeat he gives you risks tearing him apart from the inside.

Every accidental brush of fingers sends agony flashing through his veins.

Every stolen glance is a betrayal of everything he’s sworn to protect.

You? You’re the match thrown into his dry kindling world

and he’ll try so hard not to burn for you.

But this kingdom has enemies…

and every single one of them wants you dead.

So if the only way to keep you safe is to keep you close?

Then let them all talk.

Let the court whisper.

Let desire kill him slowly.

He’ll endure every ounce of pain…

just to love you anyway.
