    Summary

    When therapist Bea Mountchristen-Windsor’s new patient Alex tells her about a man he met who made him realize some things about himself, she helps him work through his feelings. As Alex continues seeing the man and shares intimate details of their relationship, Bea listens, supports him, and talks him through his worries and concerns with his budding romance.

    But when Bea meets up with her brother and is introduced to his new boy toy, she panics when she sees Alex standing next to him. Henry has a reputation, and is not the relationship type. Alex very much is, and in that moment, realizes he knows absolutely nothing about the person he’s sleeping with.

    What happens when Bea’s two worlds collide?

    Summary

    Edwin knows nobody will come for him.

    It’s maybe the worst part of being down here again. Hell had been an unending torment for seventy years, and then he’d been free, and now he’s here again, and he knows somewhere deeper than logic that he doesn’t have the strength to pull himself out a second time. And nobody will come for him.

    He whispers it to himself, huddled into the corner, arms wrapped around his legs. He speaks for the doubtful comfort of hearing his own voice, in between the moments where his personal torturer gives chase, and he is forced to run even though he knows he’ll never get away. Nobody’s coming for you. He’s not coming for you. You’re alone. You’re as alone down here as you were back on Earth. You have nobody to blame but yourself. You. Are. Alone.

    He’s never going to see Charles again.

    Summary

    When a witch’s spell sends Edwin back in time to 1973, he has to learn the hard way that you cannot change the past.

    You can, however, fill it with love.

    *

    He finds Charles in the lounge, strapped into a bouncing chair whilst his mother naps on the sofa. Charles is wide awake, burbling happily as he sucks on a toy, a mop of fine curls already sprouting from his head. His eyes dart around the room and when they land on Edwin, they linger, and he pulls the toy from his mouth and smiles.

    Edwin has never been fond of babies, but Charles is the exception to the rule. The smile on his face is not nearly as charming as the one that has Edwin weak at the knees, but it is adorable in a different way entirely.

    Charles babbles a stream of nonsense and then throws his toy towards Edwin. It lands on the floor between them and Charles’s face crumples when he realises that it is no longer in reach. Edwin does not think. He steps forward and picks up the toy, crouching down before Charles to press it into his tiny hand.

    He does not take it. Instead, his hands reach up to pat at Edwin’s face.

    Summary

    Whoever held the greatest claim on his soul could be worse than Doll Spider. They might doom him to an eternity of pain that even he couldn’t imagine. But he didn’t care: this chance of freedom—of snatching victory from the creature that had stolen decades of his existence—was far greater than any risk.

    “The claimant is unknown,” the Justiciar stated. “If they approach the court with the proper paperwork, or are willing to be put to the sword, we will revisit your case."

    ~

    Following their return from Hell, Edwin and Charles had thought themselves safe. They had believed that Hell and its denizens had no more claim on Edwin's soul.

    Unfortunately, not everyone is of the same opinion.

    When Edwin is summoned to a tribunal to determine whether the Doll Spider or the Office of Lost and Found has the greater claim on his soul, it is up to Charles, Crystal and the Night Nurse to put things right. The truth, however, may be more complicated than it seems - and more than one of the agency will be forced to confront their demons.
