Summary
The moment his sentence was handed down – Halbrand “Sauron” Maia, guilty, life plus 30 years — brought up on RICO charges, 14-counts of conspiracy to commit murder and racketeering. It would have been a death sentence to anyone else. Hell, moments after the verdict was read in a federal courthouse in Brooklyn, hundreds of his supporters stormed the building, overturned furniture, a wave of riots in the streets, smashing cars and storefront windows, violently being forced back by police reinforcements.
But the moment of his sentencing? His green eyes had cut to hers — unflinching, direct. He’d looked across the crowded courthouse directly to the person who’d landed him in prison, and he hadn’t looked angry either. Face stoic, not a glimpse of any hidden turmoil, not even one of accusation that he could have so easily aimed at her. She watched him get handcuffed and marched away, and he didn’t break eye-contact until he’d been physically forced to, turning away only when the guards paraded him out of the room to the sound of clicking cameras.
It was real Alpha shit, Galadriel knew.

Summary
She’d seen the degradation of watching a man fight for his life, the insatiable greed of those in the audience cheering it on. Women of high culture and class, women like the row that Galadriel finds herself in, are supposed to be above such carnage, weaned away from violence at a tender age in deference to their omega sensibilities.
But the man across the cage from her, a man that stands alone, studying her under a hood of soiled bangs, an unkempt mess of auburn hair rendered nearly black under all the grime. He’s covered in absolute filth, an iron collar around his neck linking him to a chained post nearby. He’s — tall, perhaps taller than any of the other alphas there. Built deceptively strong and unassumingly dressed in a dark blue linen shirt that looks like it’s seen better days. Torn and threadbare at the edges, he looks squalid, like he hasn’t seen a bath in weeks. He should be the farthest thing to draw her attention or attraction.
But his eyes hold hers without flinching when he stares at her, and Galadriel can't look away.

Summary
Halbrand "Sauron" Maia had it all. Control of the family business after the fall of Morgoth, his enemies' respect and fear, his thriving empire. There was nothing he wanted that he did not already have in his possession, an alpha in full control.
Then, along came Artanis like a wrecking ball.
(Prequel to "An Intoxicating Presence.")

Summary
The double doors open with a thwack as she pads into the kitchen, humming a song in French off-key. And there, standing at the kitchen island in seersucker swim trunks and a white tee, is… a man. A stranger. Belly feels sort of like a fucking idiot, because she sees this stranger and it’s like a chorus of angels starts playing in her head. Or, like, at least a Taylor Swift song.
(Newly home from Paris, Belly decides to take a job babysitting a rich family's mansion on Cape Cod for the winter. She expects nine months of studying for the GRE, watering plants, and watching old movies. She does not expect their
very hottwenty-four-year-old son to start showing up.)- Language:

Summary
He thinks about how standing in the aisle of that commuter train, whizzing through a Parisian suburb with the pad of his pointer finger pressed delicately against the hollow of Belly’s throat, was the first time someone told Conrad they loved him since, well, maybe since his mom died. It took until the sixth or seventh time Belly said it, murmured between kisses and sighed against his heart, that Conrad could even hear the words without feeling like the wind had just been knocked out of him.
(Forget touch starved; Conrad is pretty sure he has a loneliness hangover. Or something like that.)
