My name is L. Blackburn, and I'm an Indie author. My literary genius is loved and worshipped throughout the book world—except, of course, by one self-centered reviewer who goes by the name of "Babu". Apparently I broke some "Cardinal Rule", and now I'm paying the high price for it. But then, if a predator attacked your cub, wouldn't you go for the throat?

When his club’s doorman suffers a devastating loss, Dash must learn if the fire is connected to a sordid gambling den and the predatory family that runs it, or to a secret society that many hoped was long dead. Untangling a decade’s worth of lies between a terrified father, a wily widow, and an enigmatic spiritualist pushes him to the limit.

Then a member of their team overhears a Nazi officer and a scientist discussing an insidious new weapon that could tip the balance of the war, and everything changes.

Sparks of something new burst within, opening his eyes to possibilities he'd never dreamed. In the giddy fog of a forbidden courtship and the safety of the campus bubble, the world's troubles seem far away. Until they aren't. German tanks roll through Europe, while Japan attacks Pearl Harbor.

Praesidium is the most prosperous city-state in the world, due not only to its location at the mouth of a great bay but also to its strict laws, stringently enforced. Ordinary criminals become bond-slaves, but the worst punishment—to be suspended in a dreamless frozen state known as Stasis—is doled out by the wizard and reserved for only the most serious of traitors.

It’s not exactly what I’d call the ideal situation—being introduced to your bio-dad’s best mate only to realize he’s the sexy older guy you hooked up with a couple of weeks ago—but it’s also not the worst thing to ever happen in history. The way I see it, this is fate. The universe is throwing Shay Kelly in my path again because it knows how much I’ve been dying for another shag with him.

Dragons. Destiny. Duty. The sum of my life. All that I am. Yet I wish to be more than that. I wish to be a worthy partner for my lovers. I now have immense prestige and power, more than I could ever have imagined. Yet all I truly want is Kirby and Harlen. Does that make me selfish? Those months we spent alone in the cottage together have become my touchstone; my strength and my hope for the future. For what do warriors fight for, if not a chance for peace and love? But the whole world is at stake, not just my happiness. I cannot afford to be selfish.

Kirby is radiance and light. His presence is too big for a Welsh valley in the middle of nowhere. Cai is doing so well, but he is clearly a shattered man.
