Summary
“He loves you,” she said, holding onto him for dear life. Her voice didn't admit any objections. “He has loved you in each of his lives. And every time he comes back, he falls in love with you all over again and you with him. Are you going to deny him his chance in this life?”
He hid his face on her shoulder, breathing her scent in, trying desperately to ground himself once again.
“In his own words, it's like destiny.”
Yusuf, the god of the sun, has chased his reincarnated love, Nicolò, through lifetimes—each reunion bittersweet as Nicolò’s mortal memory fades with each death.
When Yusuf finally finds him again in a quiet restaurant, he must decide whether to rekindle their love, risking the pain of loss once more.

Summary
If Nicky had his way, he’d storm out of the al-Kaysanis’ home—but then, if Nicky had his way, he wouldn’t even be here in the first place.
Remembering the conversation he had with his mother two months ago does nothing to abate Nicky’s anger, so he focuses on cutting his tuna into perfectly even bites.
Joe’s staring at him like he’s insane, which only heightens his irritation.
Joe’s father stands and clears his throat, glass raised. “To legacies,” he says. “To dynasties. To new family.” Joe’s father looks at Nicky and smiles. He and Joe have the same dimples, Nicky notices. “And to the marriage of our two sons.”

Summary
Joe squints a little. “So you were born in what, the 1060s?”
Nicky nods. “1069, I believe. I died during the first crusade. For the first time, anyway.”
“Wow,” Joe says. “You are very well preserved.”
Joe's a millennial with student loan debt, a dead-end career as a personal trainer, and a lumpy futon for a bed. He's also the new immortal.

Summary
Nicolò Di Genova is home for the summer after he graduated college - except, things are tense and strange. His Dad, a big shot lawyer who works for Merrick Enterprises, has hired extra security, and seems a bit miffed he came home for the summer instead of touring Europe like he had wanted him, too. But Nicky was just trying to spend his summer in the pool while he works some things out . . .
Joe is hired as extra security to watch over a guy who knows nothing about life (or so he thinks). This is his last job, and then he’s done - he’s out, and can just focus on what he needs to do next. But what was supposed to be an easy job of watching a rich kid sunbathing while his Dad coordinates his grand jury testimony with the DEA, turns into something much more dangerous. It’s not just Nicky’s Dad who is in danger - it’s Nicky, too.
Because someone has decided he wants him all to himself . . . and it’s not just Joe.
