    Summary

    Mike taps Will’s foot with his own. “I hate hearing you call me Lord Wheeler. You needn't do that.”

    “We were not alone, your footman was scarcely two feet away,” Will says, rolling his eyes. “What would you rather have me say?”

    Alone in the carriage, Mike lets his gaze fall to the pressed collar of Will's shirt, to the emerald silk of his waistcoat, round golden buttons leading down to fawn-coloured trousers that sit tight around his thighs. He exhales slowly. “I can think of a great many things I’d rather have you say.”

    Pink stains Will's cheeks. “Not here,” he says quietly, before looking determinedly out of the carriage window.

    Lord Michael Wheeler, only son and heir to the Duke of Richmond, has fallen hopelessly in love with London painter William Byers.

    Summary

    Two years after his husband’s death, Mike Wheeler lives quietly in a cliffside mansion with his eight year old daughter and more ghosts than he knows what to do with. He doesn’t talk about the past.

    Will Byers isn’t looking for love when he takes the live-in cook job at Rosecliff Manor. He's just trying to start over in a new town, with a new job and with the walls carefully built around his heart.

    Living under the same roof wasn’t supposed to mean anything.

    But grief recognizes grief.

    And sometimes healing looks a lot like falling in love.

    Summary

    But it wasn’t a monster that came out of the trees. It was a person. A boy.

    Mike froze.

    Then he was spotted, and the boy stopped in his tracks; with skillful movements, he quickly slung the rifle off his shoulder and pointed it at Mike’s chest. Mike raised his hands while trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg.

    “Whoa. Hey,” Mike said, his eyes wide as he stared at the tip of the rifle. “Just hold on. I’m not—I’m not going to hurt you.”

    Or: A crawl gone wrong left Mike stranded in the Upside Down. Hurt and alone, Mike stumbles upon someone everyone told him was dead.

    Will Byers was never found Au
