    Summary

    Tobias had always known he'd marry without the luxury of doing it for love; he just hadn't realized how hard it could be.

    Nor that, upon his partner's death, he'd be expected to grit his teeth and do it all over again.

    Summary

    Agostino is an exiled prince in hiding, caught in the political machinations of a land hungry uncle and a brother accused of of their father’s murder. When he is taken captive by an Uthroon war lord, his sense of himself will be stretched to its limits.
    ****
    When he reached Kadri, Agostino dropped down and kneeled in the dirt at his feet, head bowed. His captor stiffened and some of the soldiers in his regiment made noises of disapproval. They would most likely openly hate him from now on, already having expressed suspicion of his knowledge of foreign languages and culture. To hell with them anyway.

    The man reached down, tilting Agostino’s head up until their eyes met. Kadri’s were the dark golden color of honey. “You’re a child.”

    “I’m twenty-six.”

    “Hmm. Then you are just soft. You kneel at my feet like a war slave.”

    “Oh. Yes. Am I not?”

    Summary

    “I could devour you,” Samiel says gently, and Jay can feel the heat of his words sinking into his translator. “Won't you let me, pretty human? I'd make it ever so good for you.” His voice is intimate, filthy; that of a lover. Of a predator that has caught its prey.

    Or:

    Wing Commander Jason Lane is doing his best. He's got a political coup to stop; a peace treaty to negotiate; half a planet out to kill him and - oh yes, Samiel.

    Always, Samiel.

    Summary

    Gifted with the power to possess any target, Reynar makes for the perfect secret agent - and his loyalty is ensured by the fact his real body is kept hostage by his employers.

    When he's given an empty vessel to infiltrate a mafia family, he feels overjoyed with the opportunity: finally, a long-term performance! And the game turns even more entertaining when the clan heir's bodyguard takes an interest in him; lazy, loyal and quietly sarcastic, Caile is cleverer than he seems... and gifted with dangerous abilities.

    But isn't it all part of the fun?

    Summary

    Primat is the Prince heir of the Carrion Crow's lineage. Cold and pragmatic, charmless and solitary, he's neither loved nor hated by the Court.

    Handsome and smiling, carefully harmless, Count Roscelin of Ronceval is Primat's illegitimate half-brother – and, according to some of the Chaînebris nobles, an excellent spare heir should the unexpected happen. He also seems strangely fascinated by Primat, a feeling that is unfortunately mutual.

    As the time of the Carrion Crow's Pilgrimage approaches, Primat will have to chose whether his half-brother is worth any trust – or whether the problem should be cut at the root.
