    Summary

    “Finish it,” Armand says abruptly, reaching out to touch the bottom of the glass. He tilts it up to Daniel’s lips, the words an imperious command.

    Daniel barely opens his mouth in time. He chokes on what’s left of the watery crème de menthe and crème de cacao, but Armand doesn’t lower the glass until he’s finished every last drop. His head swims, partly because he’s tipsy and partly because of the brain freeze.

    Armand withdraws the empty glass, sets it aside, and grabs a napkin off the bar. He dabs Daniel’s lips with it, brushing the bare pad of his thumb across Daniel’s chin. His skin is warm and smooth, slightly clammy with condensation borrowed from the glass.

    Oh my God, Daniel thinks. Don’t lick him don’t lick him don’t lick—

    Clearing his throat, Armand sets the napkin aside. “You’re a journalist?”

    “Yeah,” Daniel replies hastily, looking away. “You were listening in?”

    “I caught part of your chat with Louis. You were going to interview him?”

    Was being the operative word. I’m not sure that would’ve worked out.”

    Summary

    London, 1887. Shane Hollander has arrived in England as the first Korean ambassador to take formal residence in the capital, carrying impeccable French, a diplomat's iron composure, and a private ledger of debts he intends to collect from a city that has already decided what it thinks of him.
    He meets the Earl of Vashenkov at Lady Ashworth's autumn ball. The Earl has old eyes. He has been patient since before the empire Shane represents had a name. He has been waiting, specifically, for something like this.
    Shane notices everything. He notices the cold. He notices that he keeps going back.
    A gothic romance concerning hunger of more than one variety, the specific cruelty of being known completely by the wrong person, and what it means to choose, with full information and open eyes, to stay.

    Summary

    Centuries have passed since Astarion's ascension. Centuries of triumph and despair, of victory and defeat, of heady thrills and daring escapes. Through it all, I have kept him safe. Through it all, he has kept me at his side. His loyal right hand, who straddles the line between life and undeath; the one he can't compel. I am a unique individual, no matter how you slice it. Just not as unique as Tav.

    Tav is, after all, the one that got away. The unrequited love of Astarion's life, just as he is the unrequited love of mine.

    And now Tav is back, and Tav wants it all.
