    Summary

    This really shouldn't be that hard. Their countries were enemies, on a foundational, ideological level. There was a tension that had wrapped around the world in a stranglehold. There were eyes around every corner, in the windows; ears on the phone, in the office, on the streets. His decision should be clear.

    But the question still haunted him.

     

    What if you love me, too?

    Summary

    A smile is as much a suit of armour as any dress. And just as devastating.

    Or rather, when Alfred is neglected and forgotten by his family, he picks up the pieces and smiles. People often forget that when something breaks and comes back together, they’re never the same as they were before. But the process of breaking and reforging oneself is never easy.

    Summary

    “So, you’re a fireman? I heard that little story you told Feliciano.”

    Ah, so Ivan had been listening. Well, good. “Yeah, but I had forgotten some stuff. There’s a lot to it, you know, there’s a lot to saving people.”

    “And being a pilot?”

    That’s right, that’s where Alfred had received his firefighting training. You just don’t show up to a big ass fire without training, so they taught that in the air force, in case the planes ever caught fire on the air force ships, or the field, how to save people. Alfred wasn’t lying about that, Alfred didn’t lie, like everyone kept saying.

    Summary

    Alfred needs money. He works in an obscure Russian restaurant, lives in a shitty apartment with his ex, and rent is on the rise. He thinks he’s found the perfect gig—Until his side job draws the attention of some of Manhattan’s less savory characters. He grows close to one, a mob boss referred to as the “Old Bear.” Ivan Braginsky may offer protection, and even a way to make quick cash. Then again, he could also prove the least savory of them all.
