    Summary

    Because Emmrich had waited for Rook to reach this point. Patient. Asking if he’s okay, if he wants this. Reassuring. And now Rook feels settled, knows he can do this without fear or worry.

    Without regret. Without shame.

    Or:

    The five times Rook kneels and the one time Emmrich does.

    Summary

    Professor Emmrich Volkarin is lonely. His usual company, his son Manfred, is away on tour with his band and not due back any time soon, and now Emmrich has no choice but to be alone with himself as he rattles around the balmy city of Treviso. He’s uninterested in romance, having sworn off love after watching his father lose his mother. He has his son, there’s no need to ever tie his heart to another person.

    Meanwhile, Rook Mercar is looking for a patient, diligent lover who doesn’t mind him setting the pace on their no-strings-attached relationship. He doesn’t want love, he wants help getting over his own issues. In essence, he wants a pair of training wheels on his journey of the intimate arts.

    A friends-with-benefits arrangement might be the exact solution to both of their problems. Or the beginning of the end of their self-imposed forsaking of the heart.

    Summary

    The last thing Emmrich expects is to see a grin, unbridled in its radiance and wholly out of place against such salacious backdrops. Its match cannot be found among the other performers even as their movements mirror, precise in their choreography. No, this moment of joy is for the individual alone, the world at large melted to nothing beyond their designated diameter.

    But, that smile…

    He has seen this face before.

    Summary

    Before he was Mercury Ingellvar, Rook’s foster parents arranged an academic marriage with one of the Watch’s senior researchers: a professor Rook has never met—until now. He’s sure Emmrich Volkarin doesn’t like him, and he’s not sure he likes Emmrich, either... until a disagreement reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of their relationship.

    A comedy of errors and a romance of erudition.
