“I am not so sure there has ever been such a thing as happy ever after, but we could certainly try for secure mutual existence.”

Almost a year has passed since Dylan stumbled into Tracker’s life. A lot has changed and they’ve carved out a new existence in another land… the countless deaths they left at their backs and their wanted status by the King’s Hounds notwithstanding.
With Dylan insisting that reaching his thirtieth nameday is no big deal, Tracker has arranged an evening to remember for his husband, providing everything goes as planned.

A sequel to In Pain and Blood, this 21,000-word novella can be enjoyed as a stand alone.

About the Author

Aldrea Alien is a multi-award-winning, USA Today Bestselling, bisexual & genderqueer author from New Zealand who writes fantasy romance of varying heat levels.

She grew up on a small farm out the back blocks of a place known as Wainuiomata alongside a menagerie of animals, who are all convinced they’re just as human as the next person (especially the cats). Aldrea now lives in Upper Hutt, on yet another small farm with a less hectic, but still egotistical, group of animals (cats will be cats), and published her first book in 2014. One thing she hasn’t yet found is an off switch to give her an ounce of peace from the characters plaguing her mind, a list that grows bigger every year with all of them clamouring for her to tell their story first. It’s a lot of people for one head.

Aldrea is the author of…

The love of her life called it quits, leaving Wynter along with all the hopes and dreams they once shared. Wynter throws herself into her job at Sparkle and Home. Hard work helps soothe her pain and the Christmas season is especially busy. She spends her days selling Christmas trees and wreaths. She spends her long, lonely nights trying to forget Ava. When the shop's elderly owner passes away, Wynter faces an uncertain future. To her dismay, Ava has returned to Dublin. Worse, she's the shop's new owner and Wynter's new boss. Ava Winchester has never forgotten Wynter or the time they shared together—in and out of Wynter's 4-poster bed—but she harbours a guilty secret.

ButToby is a man with secrets, and when the storm that’s been holding comes ashore, it could devastate not just his professional life, but his fledgling love affair and long-time partnership with his best friend. Will Spencer stand by his side and help him weather the storm as Toby faces his worst fears?
