    Summary

    “You do realize that Eid al-Fitr is not until July?” Joe says slowly, taking in the pillows arranged around the blanket, the lit citronella candles, and the string of cheap Christmas lights Nicky must have borrowed from a neighbor to provide additional light.

    “I know,” Nicky shrugs, “just felt like doing something different tonight.” His tone is easy, his posture casual, but his gaze is hovering somewhere near Joe’s collarbone, which means Nicky noticed that something is up with him but doesn’t want to come right out and say.

    Summary

    "You really must listen to me carefully! None of your carrying off, thinking you’re doing what’s best.”
    “I would not dream of it, sir.”
    “Because this is treacherous terrain, my dear man.” I stepped over a teddy-bear holding a fluffy heart, and put a finger to his rather firm chest. “One wrong move and I could be married to Bobbie Wickham before the Ides even put March in the datebook.”
    “I understand, sir.”

    Valentine's Day brings a mere hundred or thousand problems for Bertie's cosy bachelor establishment. Pure plotless domestic fluff, with a bit of Thoreau, because that's their idea of romance, of course.

    Summary

    Between her sons, Yusuf had been the fighter. He had been her bright star as a child, racing through the house, excited about everything he learned. He’d learned swordplay like it was a science; learned science like it was poetry; learned poetry like it was breathing. Ibrahim had been her steady pair of hands, hiding behind his brother when strangers knocked on the door, handing her spices while she cooked, always the voice of reason to back up his brother’s verses.

    He leaves an empty, carved-out space in their home, and in his place, Yusuf has brought home a ghost.

    OR: Yusuf's mother meets Nicky.
