    Summary

    General Dorrand is fifty-two years old and the best swordsman in Talis. He's severe, austere, devout, and the king's most trusted advisor.

    Reylen of Lorand, son of the Duke of Lorand, is a spendthrift thirty-something with a taste for wine and casual sex. But he's also not exactly what he seems to be.

    When Dorrand finds Reylen standing over a dead man with a dagger in his hand, the obvious explanation both is and isn't the right one.

    Summary

    Wilson said, “So we’re just two friends who want to have sex with each other, who aren’t going to do anything about it.”

    Spoken with the incredulity of a beautiful person with low impulse control. House shrugged.

    “We’ve been that for years. Why mess with success?”

    Wilson was looking at his mouth. He sounded strained. “I don’t think what we’re doing qualifies as success.”

    Summary

    “Stubbornness runs in the family, I’m afraid.” Robin looked a bit sheepish. “The entire family, actually. Edwin could argue magical theory with the world’s leading experts, and none of the bureaucrats at the Home Office are a match for Addy.” He paused. “From what I’ve heard and observed, you’re no pushover, either.”

    Violet remembered how Maud had called her family. Lady Enid had spoken in her letter about kindred spirits and how true family was more than just blood. She had never let herself be bound by the limitations and rules of society, and neither would Violet. Family could be what they made it.

    Violet offered Robin one of her genuine smiles. “It sounds as though I’ll fit right in with the rest of your family, then.”

    Summary

    “That leaves the one option.”

    Stephen, waiting for Jack at the end of his search for a solution, finally met Jack’s eyes. “The biological imperative.”

    Despite his best efforts, Jack blushed. Clearing his throat, he asked, “Do you have a candidate in mind?”

    “Jack,” Stephen started, voice uncharacteristically low and strained, “I beg you, do not make me the find the words to ask.”
