    Summary

    “Oh, is that the only thing that’s stopping you?” Yuri presses, his tone suddenly switching from his innocent facade to something low-tinged and dangerous. “Meaning that if we could, that if we could get away with it, you’d do it?”

    “Yuri-”

    “Because let’s get one thing straight, Lieutenant,” Yuri continues, tongue darting out to lick his lips, “I’d do it in a heartbeat, whether we could or couldn’t.”

    Summary

    Carl Morck, who had opinions about everything — and offered them freely, whether wanted or not — suddenly went quiet when things got intimate. Not withdrawn, not hesitant. Just… silent. Focused, yes. Present, definitely. But silent in a way that kept knocking Akram off balance.

    It didn’t help that he knew Carl could make noise.

    He’d heard it. It happened every time they ended up somewhere private but not at home. The car, especially, did something to Carl.

    Summary

    "‘Carl, would you like to join me for lunch outside on the lawn?’ Akram asked, unfailingly polite, unstintingly annoying. Carl would have usually appreciated the interruption from the mind-numbing tedium of writing up case notes, but he looked up from his desk to see with utter bafflement that Akram was stood in front of him with a bright pink lunchbox and matching thermos."

    Or, Akram tries to woo Carl. It takes a while.

    Summary

    Carl Morck is a brilliant detective with an attitude problem. Rose and Hardy have a simple solution: get him laid. The trouble is, Carl only seems interested in the enigmatic barista down the street – a man who makes the perfect coffee, unnervingly sharp observations, and a tremendous effort to keep everyone at arm’s length. Between cold cases, hot coffee and all the things that lie between, Carl might just find more than he bargained for.
