    Summary

    When Simon replays the night in his head—as he has done until the memory feels brittle around the edges—he always begins with the dip of the mattress, the slip of sheets against his pajamas (Baz’s pajamas), and the weight of blankets briefly lifted as Baz slid in beside him. Rolled to face him. Simon did what he had only recently come to learn he could do best with Baz (besides fight); he leaned in. Baz shut his eyes. They kissed.

    * * *

    It’s been twelve years since Simon last saw Baz. Twelve years since they kissed. Twelve years of wanting to unwind time back to that Christmas Eve. Twelve years and Simon sits in his classroom waiting for some posh little punk’s “very busy” father to pick him up from detention before the kid’s imperious bronze eyebrow raises right off his face.

    Summary

    The first time I heard Penny and Agatha mention it, I honestly thought they were taking the piss. That it was another one of those false myths about the World of Mages.
    Soulmates.
    Really?

    Summary

    The bell goes ding, and I close my eyes. I hear the scraping sound of the chair in front of me. I inhale deeply as I try to mentally prepare for another five-minute-slot of pure agony as another imbecile tries and fails to seduce me.
    “I’m an arsonist,” I declare, my well-rehearsed opening line to discourage the next loser.
    “Nah, I reckon you’re just an arse,” the stranger in front of me replies.
    I finally open my eyes, and my vision is filled with a mass of bronze curls, freckles and moles. He’s sitting there with his legs spread wide, jutting his chin out and waiting for me to say something, a dare in his blue eyes. I try to ignore the fact that he’s a fucking wet dream come true and raise my left eyebrow at him. He’s not even wearing a pin to signal who he might be interested in.
    And he just called me an arse.

    Summary

    Simon Snow is a social worker in the Department of Magical Creature Management. His caseload consists of goblins, werewolves, and other dark creatures whom the Coven monitors for the safety and well being of the World of Mages. Simon’s world is upended one day when his old Watford roommate, Baz Pitch, walks into his office. After being outed as a vampire at the age of 27, Baz is now subjected to a year of bi-monthly check-ins with his former nemesis before he can live under more “limited” surveillance by the Coven.
    Now, seeing Baz again, having him under his “care,” forces Simon to confront his view of Baz, and makes him wonder whether the Coven’s policies towards dark creatures are justified. Is it too late for Simon to make amends with Baz? And will the two of them be able to stand up against the Coven’s draconian policies for the greater good of all magical kind?
