It can take losing everything to realize what you had all along.

Up-and-coming London chef Marcus Vine is poised on the edge of success, but the only men courting him are investors. That leaves Marcus with some free time—which is fortunate, because his godchildren need him.

Consumed by grief, Tom has been going it alone, refusing help, but when Marcus sees him out with the children, it’s obvious that Tom and his two daughters need someone. His persistent caring finally wears Tom down, allowing him to accept the comfort Marcus offers. Soon Marcus is up to his elbows in homework, home-cooked meals, and after-school activities. Over time he helps them rebuild their world, until soon their lives are approaching normal.

Then the unexpected happens: Tom confesses he has romantic feelings for Marcus, and nothing can ever be the same.

In un battibaleno: l’amore non aspetta.

Patch Hastle è cresciuto in tutta fretta: scappato a gambe levate dal paesello del Texas orientale che gli ha dato i natali, s’è fatto una vita a New York come modello e DJ e non s’è mai voltato indietro. Anche quando i suoi vengono improvvisamente a mancare, il ragazzo torna a casa con l’intenzione di sbolognare la fattoria al primo magnate del petrolio che passa e far fagotto più veloce della luce. Peccato che il testamento metta le redini in mano al miglior amico di suo padre, nonché peggior nemico di Patch.

Tucker Biggs ha finito di andare a spasso per rodei: ha messo radici ed è diventato il guardiano-bracciante della fattoria degli Hastle. Sa bene che Patch lo detesta, ma quando il ragazzo ricompare in versione adulta, bello da impazzire, Tucker finisce per trasformare la rimpatriata in una bella lezione sull’esperienza e sui desideri.

È un bel gioco se dura poco, e sia Patch che Tucker sanno già che questo finirà in un battibaleno: appena venduta la fattoria se ne andranno ciascuno per la sua strada e tanti saluti. Purtroppo, però, a ogni secondo che passa le corde che legano il cittadino tutto in tiro e il bifolco dai jeans consunti si stringono sempre di più… E se non vogliono farsi disarcionare, dovranno entrambi capire cos’è che conta davvero, e dovranno farlo alla svelta.

Arcana Imperii

As the so-called magical creatures go, I’m low on the hierarchy, and my powers aren’t much good to human mages. I’m a lover, not a fighter, through and through. I’m also selfish, lazy, and easily bored. But I’m damned good at what I do.

Add the powerful mage guilds scrambling to gather firepower for some doomsday event they’re sure is around the corner, and my cushy life of leisure might be nothing but a memory. On top of that, something’s compelling me to change on my most fundamental level. I’m not sure what I’ve got myself mixed up in, but nothing will ever be the same.

Bloody hell.

Featuring a new twist on urban fantasy combined with fast-paced action and intrigue, the Arcana Imperii series books are standalone adventures, each completely accessible to new readers.
