Una scia di delitti insanguina Parigi, instillando il dubbio nella mente dell'ispettore Lucien Bertrand, non convinto dalla loro soluzione. Forse dietro tutti quei morti c'è un serial killer, ma l'unico che può scoprirlo è Emeric Lacroix, un uomo brillante quanto ingestibile. Si dice, infatti, che le grandi menti siano sempre accompagnate da particolari follie, ed Emeric non fa eccezione in questo. Figlio, nipote e fratello di importanti magistrati, è la "pecora nera" della famiglia. Una mente più che brillante, una carriera scolastica da record, odia però qualsiasi tipo di convenzione e burocrazia. Ecco perché da anni Emeric si dedica a una sola cosa: investigare sui casi più particolari e misteriosi che gli vengono sottoposti, insieme a Kilian Dumont, suo assistente e migliore amico. Aristocratico nell'aspetto e nei modi, ma irritante ai più, Emeric ha un solo punto debole: Yvan Blanchard, più giovane di lui e conosciuto sei anni prima durante un'indagine nel mondo del BDSM, nella quale l'uomo era accusato di omicidio. Yvan Blanchard è bello, sensuale e pericoloso come una pantera. Ama controllare, sedurre, manipolare, vezzeggiato e adorato da personalità di spicco, come da grandi criminali. Yvan ha un unico punto debole: Emeric Lacroix, l'unico uomo che non è mai riuscito a dominare in alcun modo, e per il quale ha perso denaro e potere durante un incontro/scontro che lo ha costretto, sei anni prima, a scappare da Parigi e a nascondersi. Da sei anni si conoscono, da sei anni Yvan tenta di sedurlo, da sei anni Emeric lo respinge, fino al momento in cui il gioco smette di essere tale. Ma un cuore color ruggine e un bambino speciale dallo sguardo tormentato attendono di mettere alla prova ognuno di loro. Uno Sherlock Holmes francese in una storia ad alto tasso adrenalinico e passionale.

A dark foe. A forbidden love. A deadly, high-seas quest. Mercenary sailor Jack's past comes back to haunt him when his crew receives a commission during the height of hurricane season. Charged with returning the all-too-familiar Prince Valory to the capital by way of the isles, Jack and schooner Windjammer battle storms and sea-monsters alike in Oceana's treacherous waters. Jack's new patron, however, is no ordinary nobleman. A hardened soldier and powerful commander, Valory boards Windjammer to scour the isles for signs of the mysterious new threat at Oceana's borders: an evil that burns innocents alive and smashes ships to pieces. Yet Jack isn't without secrets of his own -- secrets that unravel under the growing intensity of a forbidden attraction to his patron. Forced to reclaim his lost title, Jack comes face-to-face with the past he thought he'd outrun. As Windjammer races to defend Oceana from invasion, he and Valory must work together to untangle the threads of the dark alliance threatening their home, crew, and kingdom -- or risk losing everything in the process.

[BxB] Waking up next to someone after having a little too much to drink was no new, riveting story in this day and age. Waking up next to another boy, when you were also a boy, was a little more interesting, but still nothing to write home about. But waking up in Nico Beckett's sheets? To Wesley, it was a nightmare come to life. ~~~ Wesley Dillon's life was uneventful, and frankly, he liked it that way. He didn't get into trouble, he kept his grades up, he played it safe. He never did anything to rock the boat he was floating in, the calm waters of his lake left undisturbed. Now starting his last year in high school, Wes was content to continue living his life as he always has - but sometimes, and only sometimes, he caught himself wishing that something could make ripples in his tiny world. What he wasn't ready for were the waves that were Nico Beckett - a troublemaker, womaniser, and an incredibly popular boy at his school. He was everything Wes was not. Nico was the type of guy that Wes never wanted to associate with, but after waking up in his arms with panic in his chest and pains everywhere else, he realised that his life was going to get much, much more complicated. It took him everything to try not to drown as the waves pulled him further and further down. But, somewhere along the way, he wasn't sure that drowning was actually a bad thing. ~~~ #1 in romance (29/09/19) #1 in LGBT (07/09/2019) #1 in bxb (07/09/2019) #1 in boyxboy (08/09/2019) #1 in gay (11/09/2019) #1 in highschool (29/09/19) #1 in school (17/10/19) #1 in comingofage (01/10/19) #1 in slowburn (02/10/19) #1 in BL (04/10/19) #1 in lovetriangle (05/10/19) #1 in family (31/10/19) #1 in comingoutofthecloset (08/01/20) #1 in writtenwithpride (19/06/21) #4 in love (07/03/21)

The fight to save Oceana has only just begun. Valory, Arden, and the mercenary crew of Windjammer return to the capital to learn that the alliance marching against them is far darker than they had feared. Racing against time to defend Anaphe, the capital's twin-city, from destruction, Valory and Arden head south even as duty drives a wedge between them. Contract-bound, Valory fulfills his late father's wishes and sails for Anaphe to prepare the city for siege. While spies and loyalists slither through his court, an army of twisted creatures advances upon Anaphe's walls, the likes of which haven't been seen for generations. Meanwhile, Arden travels westward in a bid to win an unprecedented alliance that could either save Anaphe from collapse -- or bring Windjammer to ruin. The road back to the city proves to be no easy one, however, for their enemy lies closer to home than they ever could have imagined.
