Summary
“What I’m saying is— I understand.”
He catches Dream’s hand in his. His touch is careful, soft like a summer breeze. It makes Dream’s breath catch somewhere under his breastbone.
“I know how it is to live against everyone’s expectations. How to live in spite of them.”
Dream stares at their intertwined fingers, feels Hob’s pulse in his fingertips. It’s a beautiful, quiet thing; it’s the first time he’s felt quiet in ages.
(Or: Dream de Endless was suppose to be his family’s most prized jewel, but when he is taken, he loses the last thing the world considered valuable about him. Broken down to his core, he does not expect anyone to want him again. Until Robert Gadling walks into his life.)

Summary
Captain Robert Gadling, a man with a fortune of a hundred and twenty thousand pounds in war prizes, needs a well-bred omega to fulfil his ambition of styling himself a gentleman. Dream d'Endless, a penniless divorced omega with an ancient name, requires an alpha to provide for his son, Orpheus.
Their purely practical marriage seems like the best solution for everyone. If only either of them were inclined towards practicality.

Summary
Hob leans back in his chair, a tight look in his eyes. “I think we both know why the divorce happened,” he says, a sharp edge back into his tone like earlier in the day. Except this time he seems to be painfully aware of it. “Gods, sorry.”
“No, you’re not.” Dream is surprised to find it doesn’t sound like an accusation.
Hob smiles and it’s back to being sad.
“No, I’m not.” He looks away. There’s a tick in his jaw muscle, like he wants to say more, but in the end he just sighs and stands up.
(Or: How Dream and Hob learn to heal, listen and love again.)
