I will not stay in another neglectful relationship or ignore the red flags any longer.

In Peter's eyes, Damon Prince was a lot of things. 1. A fierce, dangerously capable alpha. 2. An annoyingly (endearingly) protective asshat. 3. The sexiest man on the planet. (He was a pretty good kisser too.) Damon would argue that Peter ought to add big, bad wolf to the list. Emphasis on the bad part. Damon had never made to hide the fact that he was the villain in the strange, supernatural turn Peter's life had taken since being bitten. He had shoved that little tidbit down Peter's throat even.

Shock. It was an emotion Peter had grown disturbingly familiar with over the past year. So familiar that he thought he had mastered the feeling by now. Case in point: 1. Werewolves exist? Sure. 2. He was one now? Whatever. 3. Brom, Chad, Knave (insert name here) wanted to assault, kidnap, and/or kill him? Not ideal, but Peter had dealt with it all like a champ.

John Addington e Henry Ellis sono entrambi sposati, ma i loro matrimoni nascondono un segreto. John è omosessuale, o "invertito", come si diceva nell'Inghilterra vittoriana; ha avuto tre figlie con Catherine per conformarsi. Henry è legato a Edith, che però non ricambia il suo amore e trascorre con l'amica Angelica lo stesso tempo che dedica al marito.

I’d never hidden the type of guy I was to anyone. Geeky, nerdy and unashamed of the presence I brought to a room. It was meant to be only one night.

I never expected when I jumped at the opportunity of my dream career that he’d be there. It was as if the stars had aligned up in the sky and were giving me a sign. But am I truly enough for this… for him even?

A mind-expanding literary debut composed of memory, music and imagination. A boy stands on the roadside on his way to London, alone in the rain. No memories beyond what he can hold in his hands at any given moment. No directions, as written words have long since been forbidden. No parents - just a melody that tugs at him, a thread to follow.
