Synopsis

**Calix Valimir doesn’t know what’s going on anymore.** He thought he understood this dark attraction between him and the doctor, but it turns out he didn’t understand a thing. Not only is Aodhan not who he thought he was, with every torturous touch and forced embrace, Cal is starting to realize he might not have known himself very well either. **Aodhan Solace is done playing nice.** He hates that game anyway. There’s a different one he’d much rather be playing, and once he’s enticed the detective enough to ensnare him, he wastes no more time on pretend. Aodhan has a devilish nature and all of the appetites that come along with it, but he’s certain Calix can handle all that he and Mercy. Even if the detective believes otherwise. **Titus Mercer controls the board.** He always has, always will. His brief past with Calix set him on a path of yearning that first led him to Aodhan before circling back to the one who started it all. As a Connect, a being that must collect life partners and complete a pod before their hundredth birthday, Titus is rather single-minded when it comes to getting what he wants. And what he wants is Aodhan and Calix. Forever. No matter what it takes or how depraved he has to become to have them.
