    Summary

    Nesta thought she’d left Eris Vanserra behind in law school—along with the sleepless nights, impossible expectations, and the version of herself that needed to be the best.

    Years later, he walks back into her life like nothing’s changed.

    Unfortunately, everything has.

    Summary

    “What do you want?” Nesta hissed into the phone, trying to keep her voice down. 
    “Wow, good to hear you too.” Cassian's joke fell flatter than he expected. "It's just... You never replied. I needed to check if-”
    “I'm busy,” Nesta clipped. "I'm at my sisters'.”
    “Right. I figured. I don't know what I was thinking.” A pause. “I just... I’m leaving tomorrow. And it feels like we left things unfinished.”
    “We left things fine.”
    “We did?” He cleared his throat. “It doesn't feel fine.”
    Silence stretched again. Nesta pressed her shoulder against the wall, staring at nothing.
    “I wanted to see you tonight,” he said finally, less confident now. “Before I go.”

    ---------

    Nesta Archeron returns home after a decade away from her sisters. When she unexpectedly meets Major Cassian Whakatāne, their paths keep crossing. The reality gets more complicated when her sister gets engaged to one of his brothers. Avoiding him is impossible and the harder they try and stay away, the more they want to be in each other's presence. And the harder they try to deny the pull between them, the harder they crash.

    Denial, secrecy and misunderstandings. Hopefully they will find a way to march to the same rhythm.

    Summary

    It's been a few months since Nesta and Cassian's mating ceremony, but things haven't been as rosy with the newly mated couple as they make out. Eris is now High Lord, and the Inner Circle attend his coronation in the Autumn Court.

    One drink becomes a conversation. A conversation becomes an escape. What begins as a sharp exchange between the two of them soon grows into something neither of them expected: honesty, temptation, and the recognition of the darkness in one another. In the gardens of the Autumn Court, two people who swore they’d never bend discover how dangerous it is to be understood. Worse still, they each long for the next encounter, whenever it may come.

    (Or, the post-Nessian mating bond turned Neris love story no one asked for)

    Summary

    “You think my help is conditional?” he challenged.

    “You’re a man aren’t you?” she shot back. Cassian dared a small step toward her. Nesta didn’t flinch nor did she shrink back. She merely watched, waiting to see what would happen.

    “No, Nesta Archeron. I am not a man.”
    And because he was so very, very stupid, Cassian unfurled his wings just to illustrate his point. He was a fae male, not a human man.

    “What’s the difference?” she demanded, her heart thudding so loud it was the only thing he could hear. Cassian couldn’t make heads or tails of the scent coming off her—it wasn’t fear or arousal, but something else. Something that excited him all the same.

    “Would you like to find out?”

    Summary

    Love and war have always followed the same rules: Quick to ignite, slow to extinguish. There aren't many things Cassian has dared to openly want in his 500 years of existence. Not even the position he currently occupies as Lord of Windahaven (far too lofty a spot for nothing more than a well-blodded bastard, if you ask the other Illyrian Lords), but from the second Nesta Archeron stepped foot in his camp, the entire world ebbed into a single truth.
    She is his.
    He is hers.
    Everything else - the war he is meant to lead, the people relying on him, the legacy he should be fighting to protect, cease to exist the second his eyes are caught in roiling silver flames. There is pain in this female, his female. And retribution will be exacted. Rhysand has his war, and now so does Cassian. Whether the two align ... only Nesta can give that order.
