Summary
Aleksander returns - wounded - from a trip to the Fjeran border. Alina begins to question that perhaps he’s just in need of some tenderness.
—
Alina thinks she knows him well enough, now, to know when the tone of his voice is conveying whether he is truly angry, exasperated with her, in general annoyed - but he sounds exhausted, tonight. She believes that he’s tired, she can somehow feel it in his body, where her hands are pressed to his skin. Can feel it in his power, usually curling around her when she touches him, now docile and quiet.“I don’t want to fight with you either,” Alina finds herself saying quietly, studying his dark eyes as they shutter closed and his forehead tips against hers.
“Then go to bed, Miss Starkov,” Aleksander says, stepping away from her and disappearing as quick as the twilight’s long shadow.

Summary
Violet Sorrengail is a forensic anthropologist good with only one thing: dead people. Their bones speak a language only she can hear, but the living aren't quite so easy to understand - particularly one FBI Agent Xaden Riorson, who does everything possible to get under her skin. When an unexpected murder victim washes up in DC, the ensuing investigation brings them closer together despite her every effort to stay away, and she's forced to decide if the careful distance she keeps around her heart is really worth it.

Summary
Nesta wakes to sunlight stabbing through unfamiliar curtains and the immediate, visceral knowledge that she’s made a terrible mistake.
Her head throbs. Her mouth tastes like expensive wine and poor decisions. Her body aches in places that make her face heat even in her half-asleep state. She’s naked—completely, utterly naked—in a hotel bed that is definitely not hers, wrapped in sheets that smell like sex and some woodsy cologne that she can still taste on her tongue.
The body beside her shifts, and Nesta freezes.
Oh god. Oh no.
—————
Nesta wakes up in Cassian’s hotel room the morning after her sister’s wedding and immediately panics. This was not supposed to happen... Written for romance week day five: Only One Bed.

Summary
Everything in her appearance exudes neglect – which only makes Alina flinch and look away. A few weeks ago, she’d thought she’d never look this way again. Aleksander had her convinced. If she closes her eyes, she can still sense his smell, the scent that screamed all yours, a promise he’d whispered to her the night of the Winter Fete before things had gone so horribly, horribly wrong. Staring at her with a breathless wonder, his scent like that of warm weather, an aromatic uplift of juniper berries, and something spicy too, rounded out with sandalwood and musk. Alpha. A perfect refreshing scent that used to make her mouth water, her legs weak with slick. She can still recall her own faint gasp when he swept her up in his arms, put her on that war table like she barely weighed a thing, the rumble of his voice against her chest – my Sun Summoner, my Omega.
Except it had all been a lie.
And she can feel it coming, her first heat. And there’s not a thing she can do to stop it.
