    Summary

    Despite all the years Uhtred had served Alfred, he couldn't believe he had never understood what his king truly wished for, and luring him into fulfilling his greatest wish had been a great idea until it wasn't, but even that was going to be fruitful. For a while, at least.

    Summary

    After a lifetime of service at Holybourne Hall, Alfred had been eager to ignore his new employer's demands to take a few days to rest, something absolutely unacceptable as the mansion was facing some serious recruitment issues that could never bear his departure. But after receiving a letter from his old first footman, Uhtred, perhaps the holiday could actually be fruitful, and an agreement between himself and his greatest failure could be achieved, despite all dire circumstances.

    Summary

    And so as the fear dissolved away, a different feeling replaced it, one that sent Stiorra’s heart soaring once more. A feeling that energized her instead of paralyzing her, coursing through her veins with an insatiable hunger that could only be satisfied by one thing. One person. A feeling that she saw dancing across the surface of Sigtryggr’s eyes like the flames of driftwood fires, melting away his worry with every flicker.

    They’d almost been caught. They’d almost fought for their lives.

    OR

    Stiorra and Sigtryggr almost always end up alone together when scouting a potential threat’s position. Though, can it really be considered scouting when they inevitably find themselves tearing at the other’s clothes, humping on the forest floor or even against a tree?

    Summary

    1972, London. Father Alfred's reputation has been at risk for far longer than he has worn the cassock—a cloth secretly stained with sin from the moment he began lingering at the edge of the rising Pride marches. But protest is nothing compared to the dangers that come with confession, especially when the man on his knees is an overly curious doctor eager to know the man beneath the collar: Uhtred.

    Summary

    Uhtred knew they were coming seconds before they descended on them from the tree lines.

    Cold dread seized his heart, a full-grown panic that made him dizzy. This was an impossible position to defend, he knew it. He grabbed for the handle of his weapon and, for a fraction of a heartbeat, looked at Alfred, who was looking back at him with wide eyes, pale and fragile, clearly unprepared. Uhtred drew his sword.

    “TO YOUR WEAPONS!” he shouted from the depth of his chest. “DEFEND THE KING WITH YOUR LIVES!”
