Summary

Claudius's family, the Calherns, already have a reputation as the more generous of the noble families in Rubifeld, but Claudius wants an even stronger legacy. He finds his opportunity begging in one of the properties the Calherns own: Simon, a young disabled artist. Claudius is immediately taken with the talent Simon displays drawing on simple scraps of paper, ad so he offers Simon a position at the Calhern estate as their live-in artist, which not only gets the poor lad off the street but also provides a glowing example of the household's support for arts and culture.
As Claudius learns more about Simon, his affection for the artist grows. He doesn't simply want Simon around to boost his family's reputation anymore; he wants to see Simon happy and taken care of, whether that involves treating him to a day of shopping or simply providing him with ample paint and pencils and sketchbooks. Then one day Claudius finds something unexpected drawn in one of Simon's sketchbooks, and he fears it could put Simon's new position in jeopardy. Does he dare question Simon about the drawings, or will he forget it all for the sake of keeping Simon around?

But as I stumble from one peril to another, I begin to think he was taking it easy on me last time. Maybe he doesn't want me in his realm after all, even though he once offered me a home here. Maybe I waited too long. Well, he'll have to tell me so to my face. I'm not giving up until I find the heart of the woods, or die trying.
I'll save my family and escape again. I want to return to my normal life ... don't I?

After three years together, Aurora and Leela have settled into a cozy life. The only complaint is their lack of quality time together. When the opportunity arises for a trip to paradise, they can't turn it down. A week of romance among Hawaii's natural wonders is exactly what they need to reconnect. When they return home, their relationship is the strongest and most stress-free it's ever been. 
Then, Aurora learns she's pregnant. 
There was no infidelity. There was no assault. There's no logical explanation for the conception, but the pregnancy is undeniable. And it feels right to Aurora. 
Aurora and Leela debate whether a scientific or spiritual reason is the cause, but the mystery takes a backseat as maternal instincts take over. Aurora's connection ranges from the ordinary to psychic, but her experiences are nothing compared to Leela's. A new, primal voice from within directs her to do whatever is necessary to protect their child. 
Can they keep the cause of the pregnancy and the psychic connection to their child a secret? Can they come to terms with the uniqueness of their child and the circumstances around her conception? And can they accept the grandest miracle of them all?

As a personal assistant, Tristan does just about everything for his boss. So, he's not surprised when Dante asks him to travel along to a wedding reception in the country and help the two grooms with their plans. He's not even surprised Dante has requested Gavin, Dante's security officer and Tristan's arch-enemy, to come as well.


Gavin is sexy, smart, struts like a peacock, and does everything he can to drive Tristan crazy on a daily basis. So as much as Gavin's presence was expected, Tristan isn't happy about it, and he's really not happy about having to sleep on a cot in a barn while Gavin gets to stay in the farmhouse in an actual bedroom.


When a little flirting gets Tristan into yet another argument with Gavin, things start to get heated between them -- in a way they never have before. As they start to learn a bit more about each other, Tristan is having a hard time deciding if the country air is messing with his head, or if there's a possibility the disgust he's been feeling for Gavin isn't actually hate at all.
