Summary
The continent of Fear had been thrown into political turmoil following Queen Gertrude’s untimely demise, and the matters were complicated further by the fact that the crown prince Gerard remained stubbornly just as missing as he was before the Queen died.
None of this had anything to do with Martin.
None of this should have had anything to do with Martin, yet somehow here he was in the capital city, having dinner with Count Magnus as Duke Lukas's substitute.

Summary
Jon looks up, meets his eyes and tries for a soft smile. “I can’t wait to see what you bring home.”
“I guess it’ll be a surprise, then,” Martin laughs, squeezing Jon’s hand before letting go. He mirrors Jon’s smile. “They’ve got those little packets of seeds down in the village. I’ll, uh, see what speaks to me.”
“And here I thought we were free of terrors. Talking plants, oh my—”
“You know what I meant!” Martin lightly swings the dishcloth in Jon’s direction, brushing against his cheek with a fwap.
“I do, I do. If some conversational rosemary is the most we have to worry about anymore, I’d call that a victory.”
Jon’s never been much good with plants. Or people. Or himself. He’s no gardener, and he knows it. But in spite of it all, an idea takes root, and Jon finds the strength to nurture new growth. All it takes is some time, some sunshine, and some love.
Or, Jon, plants, and trying again.

Summary
Jon wouldn’t say he’s happy, what with Martin being so upset, but his concern is underpinned by how strangely good it feels to be able to have hard days in the normal way; to lament bad weather and wet socks; to have problems that are nothing a lazy night in and good company won't fix. They fought so hard, to have days like this.
or: Martin has a day as mundane as it is long. Jon rises to the occasion.

Summary
In his head, Jon keeps a list of all the things he likes about Daisy’s safehouse. Sometimes, the list is all that’s keeping him sane. Every time something happens that threatens to drive him up the wall, he pulls out his little mental list, and goes through it item by item, and suddenly the bad things don’t seem very bad at all.
There’s the scenery, for one. There’s the old-fashioned design of the cottage, sometimes annoying but mostly just charming.
And then, of course, there’s Martin.
Jon and Martin get settled in Scotland, and settle into their relationship in the process.

Summary
His eyes are at once dead and horribly, horribly alive. The milky film over his cornea does little to hush the luminous golden brown of his irises, huge around pupils so shrunken that Martin can hardly see them.
Jonathan Sims blinks. Then he frowns.

Oh, Martin is going to get a rubbish review.Or,
Struggling for income, Martin registers with an app that connects vampires with willing blood donors. His first client is not at all what he expected.
