Summary
House Davinos is in debt. House Halovar has wealth―as well as an increasingly desperate need to improve public opinion on their church’s traditional hostility toward faerie kind. Marrying into a faerie-blessed family, especially one which needs to quietly solve their financial troubles, is simply good business.
Julien, after spending several years being a disappointment to his father, is finally asked to step up and secure this alliance―he will be marrying the eldest Halovar son, Wicander.
Occtis, a pariah of his own family and Wicander’s closest friend, is dedicated to his studies and has all but withdrawn from high society―he has no particular interest in marriage, or any attention at all.
Neither Occtis nor Julien expect their chance meeting at a ball, nor the instant, magnetic connection that they share.
Also known as the regency AU I simply needed to get out of my brain ☕

Summary
The Selkie was a rough old pub, only a stone's throw from east London's best brothels and the working men they both served. There wasn't anywhere quite like it though, not with Charlotte running the place and seizing every opportunity she could get - even if it meant making deals with a gangster and setting his favourite barmaid in his sights to keep him sweet.
Penelope had always been taught the Devil would have a handsome face - what she wasn't prepared for is for him to be a gentleman as well.
What does a poor working girl do when a dangerous man offers her what none ever has before: safety.

Summary
So maybe everything didn't work out perfectly for Harry. Still, most of his friends survived, he'd gotten married, and was about to become a father. If only he'd have stayed away from the Veil, he wouldn't have had to go back and do everything AGAIN.

Summary
“We would like to offer our sincere condolences regarding the passing of your husband,” Ethrand states in a lofty drawl.
Julien sees Aranessa’s jaw go taut. “Thank you for thinking of us in our time of mourning,” she grates out.
“Of all Houses, House Tachonis would never seek to downplay or invalidate the importance of a mourning period. However, certain circumstances warrant a loosening of the proscribed timelines.”
Julien’s jaw falls ajar. He can't possibly mean...?
“I fear I fail to understand you," Aranessa hisses. "Elaborate.”
“All this recent unpleasantness was the consequence of years of unfortunate misunderstandings between our two houses. In contravention of what one might expect, I am pleased to say that I am here with an entreaty of peace.”
Aranessa allows a long silence to transpire, one that seems to make even Ethrand uncomfortable. “I will hear the details.”
“In exchange for a lasting peace, we only seek to solemnize this new alliance with a vow.” Ethrand smirks. “Accordingly, my father offers you the hand of my brother Occtis in marriage.”
Julien looks down at the rug. If he doesn’t look down at the rug, he’s going to start shouting.

Nina looks at him like he’s an idiot. “Just keep the gloves on, then.”
“What?” Kaz blurts.
Or: Kaz Brekker conquers intimacy. It's both easier and harder than he planned.
