    Summary

    “I’m Aleksander,” he continues and she nods as if that explains why she’s in this strange room and why he opened the door because—

    “Where is Matthias?” she asks, voice trembling just enough that she knows he noticed. “I was with him last night, I don’t—” she cuts herself off, shaking her head. It’s all just so confusing and her head has started to throb dully. “I don’t know how I got here. I don-don’t remember.”

    Aleksander steps forward and when Alina doesn’t shy away he disentangles her hand from her dress where she’d been anxiously wringing it and leads her out of the room, throws a “Let’s go find him” over his shoulder with a wink and a smile. His hand is warm around hers and she clings to him trotting along to keep up with his long strides.

    Summary

    The rumors are seeds carried along the last frigid winter wind. There’s a cluster of townships that flirt at the edges of a dense forest in the northeast. The smallest and farthest village is said to be infested by those most heinous of Hell’s denizens, a witch.

    Witchfinder General Shepherd sends the captain of the 141st witch hunting division to investigate.

    Summary

    Ben Solo is a ruthless business man, a cold bastard, and a devil in a bargain.

    Unfortunately for Rey Niima, he's also in possession in New York's finest collection of books about steam engines, and he wants to build a railway through her godfather's beautiful property upstate.

    Charged with the task of reviewing the literature and writing up a report on the topic, Rey must spend ten days entombed in the home of the most dangerous man in New York. And above all, she must do it without losing herself entirely to Mr. Solo's most ruthless ambition yet: marriage.

    Summary

    "I know what you're doing," Prince Gerald smiles his terrifying grin of his. Underneath the apparent softness of perfect lips, Maria can feel the cutting edge of bare teeth and the sting of venom.

    "What I am… doing?" Maria tilts her head to the side, blinking at her host over the cup resting in her hand. "Drinking tea?"

    "Oh please, do spare me and drop the ingenuine act already," Gerald says as he flicks his wrist dismissively. "I have to say, I would have never guessed our only commoner would hide such a shrewd mind under the naive facade. Congratulations, Campbell-san, you have surprised me. That happens so rarely it's an exploit by itself."

    An exploit by itself, no less. He probably means that statement unironically. Maria sighs to herself. Nobles. You really gotta love them.

    Or: Maria Campbell and Prince Gerald Stuart fight to the death for the right to call themselves Katarina Claes' sugar parent, as civilized people do.
