Summary

Paul hasn't had the best of luck. His boyfriend Rick has something on his mind that he wants to talk about with Paul after work in person. Paul worries about it all day long on his job as a veterinarian assistant. It's probably something bad, or maybe his luck has changed.
Having spent much of his childhood in the foster care system, and homeless for a while as a young adult, Paul struggles with looking at the bright side, though he knows he should. So much has gone wrong. That's what he expects. If only he had better luck.

    Exiled by his own father, Prince Kitsune has one chance to reclaim his throne: assassinate the heir of a rival kingdom. A son who wields fiery powers. 
    Kitsune dreamed of commanding armies, not surviving as a banished outcast. He's desperate to please the king and earn back his birthright—to prove his worth through blood. 
    Beyond the palace walls, Kitsune navigates a treacherous world of mercenaries and political betrayal. His only ally is Myobu, an enigmatic traveler with secrets as dark as his eyes. Together, they uncover the ancient powers of the Yokai—spirits with unfathomable magic. 
    And Kitsune discovers he possesses these gifts too. 
    As the two men journey deeper into danger, unexpected emotions complicate their bond. The Yokai magic surging through Kitsune grows stronger each day, a force capable of obliterating kingdoms. To complete his mission and win his father's approval, he must master these powers. 
    But can he control the darkness within before it consumes everything he holds dear?

    We’d shared a forever love. The kind they write stories about. A once in a lifetime chance at something special. For fourteen years Davis was my world. We were growing old together, fifties and counting. Then it was all ripped away in the blink of an eye. 
    We’d told each other everything, or so I thought. But secrets have a way of bubbling to the surface and it turned out Davis kept a few of his own. Hidden laptops, clandestine meetings, cryptic emails. The husband I’d believed in was a lie. 
    Or was he? 
    I have to find out. And Madigan Church is right there to help me. A complicated man. A man I wasn’t expecting. An attraction I can’t deny. Confusing. Challenging. Madigan makes me feel things I’m not ready for. Want things I don’t deserve. Not now. Maybe not ever again. 
    But with every step into the twisted mystery, the danger escalates. Neither of us is safe. Not from the truth, and not from what’s growing between us. 
    Because we aren’t the only ones on the hunt. Somewhere amongst my late husband’s secrets is something worth stealing, maybe even worth killing for. 
    And time is running out. 
    Author’s note: This story features the death of a spouse who is not a main character. 
    ‘The Meaning of You’ is the first book in a romantic suspense series following the same couple. There are no relationship cliffhangers.
