Sinopsis

Skilled portraits in miniature set in Dublin and London: masterful character sketches by one of Ireland's most observant writers. Although these are separate stories, they form chapters in a man's life. He knows the characters ‒ in Dublin, the West of Ireland, London, provincial England‒ and they know him. His descriptions are intimate, sympathetic but their lives are sharply drawn. A young Muslim woman moves to a Dublin Street; a married man meets a married woman to make up for a failed night of their youth; a London woman keeps a window open to remind herself that suicide is available. Through each story the overarching narrator also becomes clearer: we see the tension between who he is and the pull of what might have been. As conclusions bring opposites together, in this book, Time is the great character.   
These are timeless, classic Irish short stories in the vein of William Trevor and Brian Friel, poised and carefully observed vignettes of the lives that compose modern Ireland.

    Mage Jannick Pederson thought it was a simple assignment: help the gryphon leader find some missing human children and then go home. A noble cause, even if he didn't much like the abrasive jerk. So why didn't someone tell him he'd be working closely with the leader's son instead? That hot piece of perfection could make even happily-single Jannick give up his no-strings-attached ways. 
     
     
     
    Gryphon shifter Conall Arwan has simple goals for his life: get his PhD in pediatric shifter social work and stay off the radar of his disapproving father. When his father orders him to work with a hot but arrogant mage to find missing human kids, all Conall sees is how it pushes back his graduation date. Again. And even if the mage unexpectedly turns out to be not so bad—and maybe even a little sweet—there's still no future for them. Conall's dad has plans for him and they don't include getting involved with a sexy, infuriating mage.
