There are many good books in this world. My bookshop. The Scribbling Lion, carries some of them (including mine, naturally!) and several are on a steep discount right now. If you're looking for fantasy, SF, romance, witchcraft, or LGBTQ+ writing., take a look and see if there's anything for you!
(Some would make really good holiday presents. Just saying.)
OK! You're still here, excellent and thank you.
The next two KJ Charles books are *entirely* different, having no mention arcane adventures.
The first two books of the Lilywhite Boys series (see reply for more), Any Old Diamonds and Gilded Cage, are a dramatic whirlwind of intrigue and passion.
In Any Old Diamonds, Alec hires a criminal duo, the Lilywhite Boys (Jerry and Templeton), to steal from a Duke. The Lilywhite Boys involve Alec in the heist more directly than he ever expected, and his developing relationship with Jerry turns things increasingly complicated -- and dangerous.
The followup book, Gilded Cage, focuses on Templeton, framed for a brutal set of murders and on the run while trying to clear his name. Even Jerry doesn't believe he's innocent.
Driven to desperation, Templeton must turn to a deeply estranged ex-girlfriend for help. Problem is, she hates his guts... and might just turn him in herself to get her revenge.
The characters are crisp and unique, the plots devious, the story itself addictive, and the romance, of course, integral.
**I'm selling these two books as a set only, and I only have one set in stock.**

Anyone on here who lives in or near the Henrico area of Virginia: I'm sending out my Small Market News today. It's a newsletter specifically and narrowly focused on the events I'm vending at as The Scribbling Lion Bookstore, and the new books in stock.
Why do you care? Because I hunt down quality books by small press and self published authors, and lean heavily into LGBTQ+ friendly titles and events.
Even if you don't live in the area, you might just find a book to serve as a #BeautifulDistraction! Here's the website, which is where you'll find the sign up link and online store:
