Oak Dorning is an artist determined to take his place among London's most successful portraitists. Town life is expensive, though, so a temporary post restoring a few old paintings for a ruralizing widow strikes Oak as a prudent detour on the way to his brilliant future. Verity Channing was married to a renowned artist, and knows firsthand how spiteful London sophisticates can be. A quiet life in the country is fine with her—also lonely and rather dull—until Oak finds scandalous treasures lurking in her art collection. When somebody sets out to ruin Verity, Oak must choose between his cherished ambitions and the lady who fills his dreams. Views: 48
A lady with no riches. A warrior with no sword. When death takes him from her, he'll return at any cost. But the price may be his soul—or her love.
Lady Maerea's wits and hard work are all that keep her people from starving. Now her brother has revived their forefathers' feud, and it's up to her to stop the bloodshed. But when the enemy arrives at the castle gates, he makes promises, not demands. Lord Alcaeus tempts her in ways she never imagined, and giving in would be the ultimate betrayal of her family.
Alcaeus is expected to take up the family sword against their age-old rivals, but revenge won't protect his brother's widow and child. He goes to Maerea seeking a truce, only to find that he wants a far more personal alliance with the brave and clever lady. But his intentions would inflame the conflict faster than any declaration of war.
Maerea and Alcaeus join together in a dangerous effort to end the feud, an act of duty that could lead to a lifetime of passion. But her brother's retribution is swift and devastating. Alcaeus's only hope is humans' worst fear: a Hesperine, a fanged immortal with powerful magic. Will his new power be enough to save Maerea, and can she ever forgive him for his bargain with the darkness?

His best friend is getting married—so why isn’t he?
Aled’s best friend is getting married.
He supposes it’s only natural for his thoughts to turn to his own wedding, and the space on his hand where his ring used to be. He tried and failed, so what’s the point in trying again?
Anyway, Gabriel isn’t interested. Between his old friend Kevin, his live-in dominant Aled and his new boyfriend Chris, Gabriel has plenty to keep him occupied without getting involved in any of this wedding nonsense. If he’s changing to appreciate love without sex as well as sex without love, that doesn’t mean he’s any more amenable to expensive parties and silly costumes.
But Aled can’t get the question out of his head, and Gabriel can’t shake the feeling that there’s something Aled’s trying to ask him.
