Summary
Laurent needs this job. Not in the I need to put food on the table and a roof over my head kind of way. He's got a generous inheritance, thank you very much. No, he needs this job to prove he is a functioning adult who did not waste his late mother's money on an expensive education. He can be normal, whatever that is.
Laurent needs this job and it feels like his last chance so he tells a little lie to help himself get ahead.
Then along comes Damen.

FBI Agent Damen Akielon spent years chasing Laurent Crawford before finally locking him away for bank robbery. When Laurent escapes just a few months before his sentence is up, it sets off a string of events that Damen never saw coming. Damen catches him again, but now Laurent is out of prison on work release – with Damen as his handler – on the condition that he helps the FBI take down a crime syndicate they’ve been after for years, run by a shadowy figure known only as The Regent. But Damen can tell Laurent is keeping secrets and has an agenda of his own, and Damen is determined to find out what Laurent’s hiding.

Summary
In Part One, beginning at Marlas, Auguste lives and takes Damen hostage. The immediate attraction between them is complicated by the presence of Laurent and Nikandros, and leads to a romp across the high seas to the den of thieves, pirates and whores that is the island of Paradiso. Our heroes, in various disguises from Pets to islanders, experience treachery, kidnapping, and the discovery of a long lost relative. Along the way, Auguste yearns for Damen, Damen reconciles with Nik, Laurent has his first crush and learns he is much more than a bookish boy.
Part Two moves ahead four years. The landscape will start in Paradiso, move on to Marlas, Ios and Arles. Part Three will conclude in the dangerous court of the Vaskian Empress. This is a tale of adventure, intrigue and heroics, with side dishes of pining and sweet slow burns, with Damen and Laurent having one that simmers long before igniting.
