    Summary

    Thorn is unable to tolerate physical contact with anyone. He has always known that his attempts to fulfil the conjugal clauses of the marriage contract are likely to be somewhat humiliating for his bride, but he accepts this with grim inevitably.

    That is, until he starts to fall for Ophelia.

    Before long, he realises that he would do almost anything to spare her humiliation.

    Summary

    He tried to tell himself it was as much a necessity as ensuring he had a few hours’ sleep each night and at least one meal a day. He would be less effective in his work if he allowed his health to deteriorate. But the fact was such things were physiological. His desire was all in his head, and any physical manifestation of it could be easily banished with a cold shower and a strong will. There was a difference.

    Still.

    Summary

    Ophelia and Thorn hatch a plan to keep their families from asking about their respective love lives. There are three rules:

    1. They'll go on periodic platonic "dates"
    2. They won't cross any personal boundaries
    3. The deal is off in one year

    The arrangement is entangled with a fourth unspoken rule... no falling in love.

    Summary

    This story is set after the fourth book, so it includes some spoilers.

    After the events of The Storm of Echoes, Ophelia and Thorn deserve a lot of calm, peaceful evenings, drinking hot drinks in front of their fireplace.
