Summary
'There was a telephone number. Having it was as singular a privilege as possibly imaginable. As such, the person on the other end of the line – should he pick up – was called nothing less than the 'Untouchable Prince'.
Honestly, Damen had no idea how a phone sex line could possibly pay off when the clients were a select few meticulously screened and regularly weeded out by the single operator, but after another night of trying his hardest not to jerk off to the haunting image of his haughty neighbor, he couldn’t care less.'

Summary
Laurent de Vere has been running from his uncle for four years; his past is buried beneath fake names and a string of lies. Now, Laurent de Vere is known as Laurent Charleston, working as a child therapist in central Paris and it seems almost as if Laurent's past is well and truly behind him. But Laurent's uncle is still running one of the biggest crime organisations in the underbelly of Paris, and a run in with a new patient and a police officer investigating his family throws Laurent's life into chaos.
As the walls of Laurent's past press in and a new, fledgling trust has developed between him and Damianos—the police officer investigating his family—Laurent must decide whether he wants to run again, or face his uncle and his past once and for all.- Language:

Summary
Recklessly, though he knew he was courting the whipping post, Damen forged on. "You trust no one. Even men who would help you, even men who would follow you, even men who would love you." He paused a moment, knowing his next words were his most dangerous yet. "You don't have to do it alone."
Laurent had finally straightened in his chair, his knuckles white where they clenched around his cup. "I have only ever been alone," he spat. His eyes bored into Damen, a challenge and a threat. "Ever since Damianos of Akielos met my brother on the field at Marlas and cut him down, I have been alone."
*****
Damen, still a slave, is falling in love with Laurent, and, against all of his instincts, Laurent is falling in love with him too. Unfortunately, they don't know how to deal with that at all. There's lots of staring and general pining.
This is my own recreation of the time after Nesson-Eloy, because I will never be over the two of them trying to figure out who they are to each other. It takes the place of the last half of Prince's Gambit and all of Kings Rising, so although there are similar events, the story unravels differently.

Summary
Eliott Demaury is a criminal defense lawyer, and a damn good one. Promising career, perfect girlfriend, he's got it all.
He's also bored to death.
Enter Lucas Lallemant.
His latest client. Witty, too damn charming to be honest, and absolutely refusing to cooperate.
Caught in the aftermath of a diamond robbery, he starts spinning wild tales of cursed jewels, mobster connections, family feuds and shadowy organizations. All seemingly designed for the express purpose to entice Eliott into his dangerous world.
Soon Eliott is risking his career, reputation and safety to get to the truth. And that's just the beginning...going down that road will lead him to face dark secrets set in motion before he was even born, and sides of himself he'd never even knew existed before. He will learn the true meaning of family and the things that really make him powerful.
And he will fall head over heels in love with the most inconvenient man he could have picked in the entire universe.
