Summary
Nick and Charlie had a plan: Nick would complete teacher training while Charlie finished university. Then they'd start their careers together and live happily ever after.
But then Nick is offered a position on a professional rugby team. It means being apart from Charlie again, but it also means an incredible dream coming true. Charlie is certain they can make it work, so Nick joins the team.
What Nick doesn't expect is how difficult it is going from being captain of a university team to the youngest player on a professional team. How embarrassing it is for his mum and Charlie to travel to his first match, only for him to sit on the sidelines as a replacement. How unsure he is if he made the right choice. How hard it is to be away from Charlie when he's falling apart.
After Nick is injured during a match, he develops some unhealthy coping mechanisms to deal with his physical and emotional pain. At first he thinks he can keep it under control, but it isn't long before he starts to spiral.
When Charlie realizes what's going on, will he be able to break Nick out of the spiral? Will their relationship survive the struggle? Will Nick be able to undo the damage he's done while trying to numb his pain?

Summary
Two years after the end of Crooked Kingdom, Jesper finally visits Novyi Zem and the father and life he left behind. But he isn't alone; Wylan comes, as well, determined to be supportive. Neither of them expects it to be an easy trip, but Novyi Zem holds more for both of them than they are prepared for.
Between ghosts of the past and conversations long overdue, Jesper and Wylan are forced to look at their relationship through a wide lens and ask each other the question that scares them the most: what happens when the difference between their two lifespans begins to show?
The only thing they can be certain of is that they are for each other. The rest is a turn of the wheel.

Summary
“I didn’t think a fancy designer like you would be measuring his own models,” Jesper laughed, just a bit teasing.
“I like to do it, especially with the new models like you. I like to get to know who I’m dressing. It’s not the same to just make clothes and stick them on bodies, you aren’t a mannequin, you’re a person. And I think the clothes I make should reflect that,” Wylan nodded at him, taking a measurement around the smallest part of his waist. “Pants off now, please.”
“Well, at least take a guy out to dinner first,” Jesper cracked a smirk, seeing the red cross Wylan’s cheeks and down his neck as he sputtered a bit.

Wylan is a fashion designer, and Jesper's a new model for his fall line.

Summary
“This isn’t a courting, it’s an engagement. An inevitable part of the fact we’re going to spend the rest of our lives together.”
“Cheery,” Jesper mutters. “Do you want to talk about your hopes and dreams, then? I've always wanted a summer wedding.”
•••
For all Jesper Fahey has a reputation — as a party-kid and a playboy, a flirt, a slut, a whore — he really, really intends to make his arranged marriage agreement to the Van Eck heir work. He wants it to, at least, even if what he wants rarely ever ends up mattering.
Between hunting trips, dinner parties, business meetings and dark nights in the Barrel, Jesper does the best he can to befriend his fiancé. He just has to hope that his ghosts stay buried long enough to keep someone from calling off the wedding.
