Après une mission qui a mal tourné, l'ex-soldat d'élite Ben Rider se retrouve pris pour cible. Heureusement, il sait qu'il peut compter sur son supérieur, Sir Nikolas Mikkelsen, chef de l'unité Black Ops, pour qui Ben entretient des sentiments qui n'ont rien de professionnel.

Mais le peut-il vraiment ? Car Sir Nikolas vit dans le mensonge. Un mensonge si écrasant que Ben se rend compte qu'il est tombé sous le charme d'un parfait (et dangereux) étranger.

Doctor Nikolai Hartmann represents himself as a learned man of science who believes wholly in the rational and scientific above all else. In reality, he is a man haunted by an unusual past and running from his own nature. While the Reformation transforms much of Europe, it has yet to touch Hesse-Davia; this is a land mired in superstition with cruel punishments for crimes such as witchcraft and sodomy.

While traveling to the dying king’s bedside to offer his medical expertise, Nikolai is set upon by a bandit. Reaching the king’s ancient stronghold, he discovers his mysterious brigand is the beautiful, arrogant Prince Aleksey. Aleksey is everything Nikolai is not: unguarded, passionate and willful. Despite their differences, Nikolai feels an irresistible desire for the young royal that keeps him in Aleksey’s thrall.

But Hesse-Davia is a dangerous world for a newly crowned king who wants to reform his country—and for the man who loves him.

Most people in Aleksey Rider-Mikkelsen’s life would probably assert that at fifty honest living and sobriety were long overdue. But recovering in bed from the lingering after-effects of his leg injury, bored, in pain, and feeling entirely irrelevant, Aleksey doesn’t much care what Benjamin Rider-Mikkelsen thinks. He doesn’t appreciate the close monitoring either. Fortunately for Aleksey, therefore, the devil reliably makes mischief for idle hands with too much money. No one said he wasn’t allowed to buy an island, did they? Of course, he’s not planning to do anything nefarious in his new kingdom, but equally, Aleksey doesn’t expect such a thoughtless purchase to plunge them both into a nightmare of old allegiances that puts all his new promises to Ben to the ultimate test.

En tant qu'ancien soldat, Jake ne connaît pas grand-chose aux anges, mais ne devraient-ils pas être... angéliques ?

Que feriez-vous si votre ange gardien tombait dans votre arrière-coure ? Quand un ange, Gabriel, tombe du ciel, Jake l'accueil chez lui. Malheureusement, la présence de cette magnifique créature attise chez Jake des passions qui auraient dû rester enfouies dans les montagnes afghanes. Pourquoi Gabriel est-il venu sur terre? Est-il tout à fait honnête sur sa mission? La présence de Gabriel oblige Jake à prendre la décision la plus difficile de sa vie: raviver une relation meurtrie par les talibans ou faire acte de foi en la promesse d'une créature faite de lumière solaire et d'amour.

Named after the main character in his mother’s infamous Oliver novels, Ollie’s been fighting his fictional namesake his whole life. It’s a battle for identity he is slowly and inevitably losing. Ex-army PTI Tom knows all about battles—the real ones that break soldiers. When he volunteers to help with the Oliver situation, Ollie hears more in the offer than Tom apparently intends, for Tom quickly informs Ollie that he’s married. Which is absolutely fine, because Ollie isn’t gay—that’s Oliver. Tom and Ollie discover fairly swiftly that there is often a very fine dividing line between fact and fiction.
