    Summary

    It is an old saying in Zaun— If they’re mean, they want a fight. If they’re clever about it, they want to fuck. If they do both, you’re in for a good night.

    His approach to attraction is a cultural habit, one Viktor has never given much thought to because it has always been true. No one in Zaun flirts openly. They play, they provoke, they get under the skin. And if a partner snaps back just as sharp—well. That’s interest.

    Piltovans as a whole don’t seem to understand this. They flirt in ways that are too clean, too direct, too painfully earnest. They go soft first, then ask permission to go softer.

    Jayce is a Piltie. He does not have the stomach for the game.


    At The Piltover Conservatory, the most prestigious and selective academy in the arts world, talent is everything.

    After a disastrous first meeting, Jayce writes Viktor off as caustic, unimpressed, and apparently allergic to basic conversation.

    In a twist of academic misfortune, they’re assigned to work together on a project that means months of high-stakes rehearsals and performances. Working together isn’t optional.

    But music is built on tension, and dissonance isn’t always meant to be resolved.

    Summary

    Everyone knows about the cliche love stories with the school nerd and jock.
    He’s a cheeky asshole who can’t seem to keep it in his pants. She’s the straight-A bookworm whose only goal is to pass chemistry.

    He takes off her glasses to reveal her “true beauty.” She falls in love with his supposed sensitive side.

    But, this one in particular doesn’t quite follow the same boring formula.
    He’s the star hockey player forced to take an art course. He’s the stubborn art major who just wants one stress-free year.

    And it’s gonna take a lot more than the glasses move and some smooth talking for either of them in this story to budge.

    Summary

    "Lance had watched Keith Kogane win a bar fight with a broken hand, rip open a keg with a knife, and complete a whole wretched ensemble of activities you definitely shouldn’t do with a beer in hand.

    And yet here he was, glittery Sharpie in hand, waiting to sign Lucy’s copy of Altea.

    Lance opened his mouth to say something arguably rude and not appropriate for their current audience. Until he remembered that he himself had either watched or participated in these activities and was now holding a four-year-old containing his DNA. So Lance didn’t have much of a leg to stand on either."

     

    When Lance runs into his ex-boyfriend at a children’s book signing, he not only finds out that Keith Kogane ages like fine wine, but he also apparently wrote his daughter’s favorite book. As Keith lingers in town, Lance frantically tries to keep his daughter from realizing that the writer is not only a person from Lance’s past, but a character in her bedtime stories as well.
