Heir of the Hidden Flame

Dylan Palmer, Emperor of Corria, has a unique constitution that forbids him from growing close to women. During a visit, Emma Weber—hoping to bear his child and become empress—drugs him, unintentionally involving Nina Greer in her scheme. Nina ends up spending the night with Dylan, but he dismisses the encounter as a mere dream—until six years later, when he meets a child bearing the unique royal birthmark.
