Lost in a world where all of his hopes and dreams had never come to fruition and never would, Cardi is left to drift – alone and without a purpose, unloved.
Meanwhile, figures lurk in the shadows, watching.

Summary
After a six-month-long absence and such a dramatic plummet into sickness, it was to be expected that the brothers and sisters of Copia’s abbey would stare at him. He had become an oddity, a hot topic.
Copia only wished those were the only reasons for his people’s stares.
In which Cardinal Copia's abundance is more horrifying than sexy, and the author needed an excuse for the rubber-mask-look to be canon in any future works she wrote.

Summary
Once the party was over, the guests were gone, and Lara had popped off to bed, Henshingly had plans of his own involving himself, his wife, and some lovely silk sheets.

Summary
When the legal system fails an innocent girl, it's up to Connie, an experimental AI inhabiting a scrapped prototype model, to clean up the mess. Fortunately, the RA700 prototype had been programmed for this kind of work.
Unfortunately, no amount of programming could prepare Connie for how insufferable humans could be to lure towards a murder scene when you’re on a time limit.
