    Summary

    It’s not too late, he could still do the noble thing and turn back now.

    But Narcissa is so soft, a naked and vulnerable vision beneath him, and he can see the throb of her pulse in her throat when she swallows down her desire and looks up at him with all the gentleness in her eyes of a mother desperate to look after her son. To take him in her arms and care for him.

    Trapped in a cycle of apathy and violence, Blaise seeks out a mother’s love from an unlikely source, but will Narcissa's tender embrace curb his appetites or unleash another beast entirely?

    Summary

    She doesn’t quite know what to do with the way that Alice is looking at her. Like she’s something sacred, something inescapable, one of the old gods that slumber in the centre of the earth—Alice’s eyes are their own kind of hunger, the ache of an empty belly, the dark comfort of dreaming and the soft light of coming awake.

    “Your life is your own, Narcissa,” she says.

    And oh, how badly Narcissa wishes that were true.

    Summary

    He thought of her arms. How they’d feel if he knelt beside her; if Narcissa pulled him in. If she held him with the kind of protectiveness he’d imagined from a woman he never knew.
