    Summary

    That was odd too. Kieran rarely, if ever, appeared anxious. Rarely did he ever allow his usual shield of cool, collected indifference slip, or for his steps to emit even the slightest sound, even when he was in the precinct. That silent, swift gait seemed to come naturally to him, as if embedded in his DNA, so to hear every step he took, to hear the soles of his polished dress shoes echo in the hallway as he accelerated at the sight of Lauren was a novelty.

    His pace was that of a frantic man.

    Summary

    Six months after the demolition the Phantom Scythe, Ardhalis has finally reached a state of tentative stability. The near revolution prompted numerous government changes, most notably, the creation of a Parliamentary system to check and manage the decisions made by the royals and to advocate fairness for all citizens.

    Closer to home, Kieran has become a consultant for the APD. The job was a compromise after an arduous fight by the eleventh precinct for the pardon of the Purple Hyacinth. The compromise saved him from a life sentence in the Tower, but put him under the thumb of the police for “observation” and “management.” Although Lauren is indignant in regards to the compromise, Kieran accepts it willingly.

    And so, their lives fell into temporary peace… until a string of murders begins. On a frosty spring morning, the dead bodies of three parliament members are strung up to the new government building. Suspicion immediately turns toward Kieran, until Lauren uncovers clues about the perpetrator. Tensions thicken as the country once more braces for an impending war, this time against a country with a much greater military force.

    Summary

    When a black cat begins following Kieran, he has to somehow convince his (very) reluctant wife to accept it.

    Basically, lauki gets a cat whether they want one or not because that’s how cats work.

    Fits in the It’s Not Like That universe but can easily be read on its own! :)

    Summary

    Lauren Sinclair has always found the beauty in broken things. It is no surprise, then, that she takes an interest in a boy who breaks for a living, and becomes intrigued in the pieces he leaves behind before ever meeting him.

    (It is XX24, and Detective Lauren Sinclair has been put in charge of hunting down the elusive Purple Hyacinth. Not even weeks later, Hanbury Street ties their paths together once - just once - and puts them on a colliding course that will forever change history.

    It is only natural, after all, for a monstrous boy and merciless girl to take an interest in each other.)

    Summary

    A week.

    168 hours.

    Probably the longest period of time she'd spent without him.

    Lauren finally gets news about his whereabouts.
    Though the news was anything but positive.
