Forbidden Lessons — Jade Astor

When a life of teaching poetry breaks your heart…Haerek Chadan, Distinguished Poetry Master of the Royal Harem School, has spent most of his life training and preparing the members of the royal harem to entertain the lords and princes of the realm. Despite his loneliness, he is able to find pleasure in his work and avoid the temptation of the many beautiful young men who move in and out of his classroom on a daily basis. It’s just as well, since dallying with a royal concubine would mean at best severe punishment and at worst execution.Everything changes when he is asked to prepare his most talented student, Azno, to become to consort of a prominent general who will drag the young man away to a distant province. Knowing he will never see Azno again pressures Chadan to confront the riskiest decision of his life. Will he allow Azno to leave the harem, and Chadan’s life, forever? Or will he dare to claim the man he loves and risk the probable death prescribed by royal law?This is the fourth book in the Tales of the Thasali Harem series, but each book can stand alone. This gay erotic science fiction story includes graphic sex and is intended for adults only.
