Saving Liam updates next on February 8.

Leyton lived a quiet, simple life as a prosperous, thriving merchant alongside his twin brother Liam. But that life is shattered when Liam goes missing, and Leyton is told that the only way to save his brother's life is to seduce a king. The task proves to be even more difficult than Leyton feared, and soon he is swept up in a tide of political machinations, betrayal, and a looming threat of execution once the men who blackmailed him are caught.

But the threat of his pending death is nothing alongside the constant fear for his missing brother's safety—and the tangle of intrigue in which he is caught is nothing like the tangle he put himself in after breaking the heart of a king...

This story features incest and a threesome.

They can be fierce warriors and gentle guides, heralds of joy and tragedy. They are beings of fearsome power, and the highest of servants.

Brennin is used to being disregarded by his family. He is nothing at all like his father and brothers in terms of personality and temperament; that he is disfigured and ugly only makes it easier for them to ignore him. Returning home after a visit to relatives, his father and brothers dismiss Brennin's advice that they wait until a storm has passed before departing. When the storm causes them to be lost in a forest and they find shelter in a mysterious castle, Brennin's advice is again disregarded—and Brennin who must pay the price.

Once a highly regarded member of the Moon Clan, one of the secretive, notorious Masked, Naoki was afflicted by a terrible, incurable curse in the line of duty. Now, for the safety of the clan and all they protect, he spends his day exiled to a remote mountain region, far from the islands he once called home.

His misery is briefly lifted when he chances upon a man being attacked by bandits—a man who proves to be far more than he appears, who needs the unique skills Naoki can provide, and can offer far more than Naoki ever dared hope he could find.
