    Summary

    Head Chef William Hawkes’ life is perfectly within his control. His kitchen runs like a well-oiled machine: predictable, orderly, consistent...

    ...right up until it’s upended by his charismatic and utterly unpredictable new sous-chef, Kym Ladell. With a penchant for improvisation and no formal training to speak of, she threatens to throw everything he’s worked so hard to achieve into turmoil.

    They say that if you can’t stand the heat, you should get out of the kitchen. It’s unfortunate, then, that neither of them are the quitting type.

    Summary

    There is something amiss in Ketterdam.

    To the Caracal, who’s always worn the grime and smog of the city as a sort of cloak, it should be of no concern. Yet strings are pulled, and an offer is put on the table: twenty million Kruge for the brutal bastard who can manage to scrape together a solution.

    As the Bastard of the Barrel and lauded jewel of the city’s underbelly, it seems a heist is in order.

    A Wraith. A sharpshooter, A Heartrender, a wayward son. A former witch hunter, a cat with claws that’ll grasp for anything within his reach- and some things outside of it.

    Join the six on a journey to remember, filled with secrets, betrayal, and perhaps a little bit of good, old fashioned luck. This is Ketterdam as you’ve never seen before.

    Welcome to the Hyacinth Heist.

    Summary

    They, the outsiders to Lauren Sinclair’s tumultuous life, like to speak at length about truths that are typically universally acknowledged; such as the ever popular creed that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

    But if this is the case, then she clearly is not part of any discernible universe. For Lauren Sinclair knows a thing or two about truths; and she can easily ascertain that whatever Kieran White really wants, it is not so simply told.

    She also knows that whatever he may be seeking, she has no desire to entertain it.

    Summary

    As captain of the royal guards and Lauren’s personal guard, Kym Ladell was the definition of loyalty and everything that represents it. Her will to surrender pieces of herself became her greatest asset, though she knew no bounds to sacrifice. Perhaps it was the existence of William Hawkes that became her greatest downfall, though that bore no weight compared to the growing grace of lingering regrets that has yet to leave her.
