Summary
In Alderwyn, pretty wives are meant to be ornaments: silent at dinners, dutiful in bed, grateful for the hands that own them. For years, five young women have lived as trophies on mantels and ghosts in their own homes.
But scandal travels faster than carriages. A baron falls to laudanum and lies, forged paintings whisper truths in gilded frames, and a war hero’s violence leaks through polished doors. Into these fault lines step five very different men: a widowed physician with a healer’s hands, a charlatan who only takes what is offered, a spy who sees everything, an artist who refuses to paint ghosts, and a soldier who won’t return a woman to the man who breaks her.
Each novella in this series follows one trapped wife and the unlikely ally who helps her reclaim more than just her freedom. Their stories interlace in courtrooms and salons, in secret letters and hidden symbols, weaving a quiet network that begins to reshape Alderwyn from the inside out—each residence becoming a waypoint in a shared map of resistance.

Summary
Ferrying passengers and cargo between the mainland and the outlying islands is your family's livelihood. Life at sea holds its surprises, yet the routines remain reassuring — docking and departing, tourist antics, more docking and departing...
And there's the seal of course — the local celebrity trailing the ferry each day as though he's on the payroll. You think it might have been brought about by giving into his every whim and accidentally becoming his favorite person to be around in the process. But who would’ve guessed the truth, that he's actually a selkie who's spent years shadowing you, believing himself to be escorting his chosen bride all along?

Summary
“I don't have a lot of time so I'll keep things short: this is a rescue mission. Price isn't an issue, I owe her everything. Details are on this shard.” The proxy removed a shard case from a sleeve pocket and slid it over.
In retrospect, the aging edgerunner legend wasn't that surprised to see its contents. She'd always liked the kid but V had been a magnet for some of the weirdest shit she'd ever seen.
Rogue sighed, “Death really just isn't what it used to be, is it? OK, let's talk specifics.”
“There's one more thing,” the proxy began. “For this to work, we're going to need Johnny Silverhand.”

Summary
Alex always knew his curiosity and impulsiveness would get him into trouble. It got him tangled up with MI6, after all. He hadn't expected it to land him in the middle of SCORPIA as Yassen Gregorovich's apprentice. No pairings, AU after Skeleton Key.

Summary
His memories showed up in her nightmares more and more. Contorting her own deepest and darkest fears into his, distorting them until the line between Johnny and V had become unrecognizable. They were two sides of the same coin, Silverhand and her, shattered mirrors of each other.
They were more than that. One and the same.
