Happy Pride from Kresimir and Athanasi, everyone! Bringing back this gorgeous cover by @hueyoart.bsky.social to celebrate. Can't wait to also share some new art this month 🥳

The photo is a book cover. Two men stand with their backs to each other. One is dark skinned with black wavy hair and purple eyes and is wearing a red fur coat with a blue shirt under it and lots of gold jewelry. The other is pale with dark hair and brown eyes and is wearing a teal outfit. Both have earrings. The one in the teal outfit is holding a rose. The background is a stained glass window with a snake and iris flowers along the border.

"You were my undoing, and I am to be yours." MM Romantasy 107k Vengeful courtesan Kresimir Zaheriev has his eyes set on killing the King. The King has plans to make Kresimir one of his secret magic investigators. Both get more than they bargained for. #Cupit #RF #LGBT

"The Iris and the Aconite MM Romantasy" "You were my undoing and I am to be yours" photos on a background of ripped and wrinkled paper. Left to right, top row: a ripped photograph (half shows the ML, half shows the MC), someone holding a crown, a poison vial. Second row: a castle in a round picture frame, two hands reaching for each other, and two people embracing each other. Lastly, a photo of a man on top of another man, choking him

“Aren’t you a wealth of knowledge?” Kresimir crossed his arms. “What does this have to do with anything? Or are you trying to rub it in my face that my parents might’ve been a pair of pyromaniacal cultists?”
The King gave him a tired look, his eyes widening slightly, his brows dipping. “You really believe the worst of me, don’t you, my friend?”
“We’re not friends.”
“We are most definitely something tangential to friendship.”
“I believe those are called allies. Acquaintances.”
“We had drinks together.”
“Because I wanted to kill you, you stubborn fool!” They were close enough to feel each other’s breath now. An inexplicable urge to close the gap surged in Kresimir, potent as his irritation.
“I’m stubborn?” the King asked in disbelief.
The doors to the office creaked open, and they jumped apart, Kresimir’s heart racing from more than vexation.

The text is on a paper texture against a beige background. Illustrated flowers are in the upper left and lower right corners. A locket is in the upper right corner. A kiss mark is in the lower left corner
