Beloved by the Boss

by Leighton Greene

It’s good to be the Boss. That’s what I thought my whole life.

Now I am the Boss. I’ll shoulder that responsibility with my beloved husband beside me. As long as I have Finch, I can handle whatever life throws at me.

But what they say is true: Be careful what you wish for.

My Family has been decimated. My allies are few. I’m holding onto power by a thread.

And the truth is, my husband is more vulnerable than ever. He’s always been a lost soul, and now he’s suffered yet another crushing loss.

I can’t protect him from Fate’s cruel blows. But I’m determined to protect him from our enemies, no matter what it takes—as soon as I get my own house in order.

Because I’m starting to wonder if there’s a traitor in the Morelli Family…

If I can't even trust my own men, how can I keep my beloved safe?

Summary: A Reverie of Flames is the new, spell-binding third installment of 'The Fae Souls' series. Born again into the mortal world, I'd hoped to escape the war between light and dark fae. I wasn't alone - Sorcha (my love) and Princess Saphira of the seelie (who we were sworn to protect) were with me. Rings gifted by Queen Carisse of the seelie ensured we were born in the same timeframe and we'd remain together. More than chance brought us to the city of Grayhaven. It was magic and destiny. Sorcha had returned to my life the day she saved me from an unseelie attack; that was when my memories had come flooding back. Now I found myself regaining my awareness of who I was and discovering how serendipitous fate can be at bringing you to the right place at just the right time. In the unique position of remembering our fae origins, Sorcha - now Angelica, a white witch who opposed unseelie interests in the city, and I had a lot to catch up on. As she brought me up to speed, I realised the depth of my feelings for her, and that I wanted to continue our romance into this, our next lifetime. Princess Saphira was reborn as Ayla: my sister. Now an 18 year old student and budding witch, she was a prime target for the unseelie who sought to overthrow the seelie royal family. We had to protect her, and Angelica and I would do our best to ensure she stayed safe. A Reverie of Flames is a romantic urban fantasy novella of just over 20,000 words, which contains strong steamy content and language.

Summary: Kurt is a good-looking Lutheran boy from the slums of Berlin. An orphan of WWI, he is taken in and raised by a wealthy Jewish couple, Mamma and Papa Kaufmann, who give him not only a loving home, but the best advantages money can buy. Educated at a prestigious gymnasium, where he first discovers his sexuality and love for his best friend Sascha. Amidst the political turmoil of the late 1920s, Kurt is seemingly uninterested by the radicalism of the Bolsheviks and the Nazis. In fact, he hates all politicians equally and trusts none of them. After Gymnasium, Kurt is accepted into the Prussian War Academy as an officer cadet. Over the next two years, Kurt proves himself to be an exceptional cadet and soon comes to the notice of Oberst Count Max von Wallenberg, head of Abwehr Counterespionage, who sees his potential counterintelligence agent.Max recognises the growing popularity of the Nazis pose a clear threat to democracy and is resolved to do everything in his power to stop Hitler from becoming Chancellor of Germany. On the eve of Kurt’s graduation and commissioning, his foster-father Papa Kaufmann is gunned down by Nazis outside his office. It’s a devastating blow for Kurt, and an epiphany. Max starts the process to recruit Kurt into the Abwehr and Kurt is sent from the academy to the Bavarian Alps to undergo months of grueling and top secret “special training”. When he returns to Berlin as a commissioned Leutnant, Kurt is recruited into the Abwehr. 1932, Max meets an old war friends from the Austrian police, Oscar, who has a very interesting story to tell about a male prostitute, blackmailer, art forger and old friend of Hitler’s, Philip Beck, back in Vienna when they lived at a flophouse together; a place well known for rent boys. Beck is in Germany and was arrested and detained until Oskar arrives to take him back to Vienna, where he is wanted for murdering his landlord and lover. Only someone let him go and now Beck has vanished. Oskar tells Max that while investigating Beck, he discovered there is a police dossier on Hitler, a dossier that mysteriously went missing in 1923. Oskar tells Max that the dossier was taken by Major Burgamann, head of the Austrian Secret police and contains information that would destroy Hitler’s credibility. Hitler’s friend and chauffeur, Julius Schreck sends the homicidal maniac Bruno Metz to Austria to find the missing dossier. But the dossier has been taken to safety by Burgamann’s secretary Simon Hrach. In France, Hrach is hiding out, waiting for his old friend, Marcus Wolff a professional blackmailer from Munich, who has promised to buy the Hitler dossier from him, so Hrach can escape from Europe. The Abwehr’s, a step ahead of Bruno Metz, learn that Wolff has a secret address in a boarding house run by a lesbian opera singer, Fräulein George. Max realises that they have to get an agent into the house to intercept the dossier as soon as Marcus Wolff shows up with it. There’s just one problem: The house on Türkenstrasse is no ordinary boarding house; the tenants are all gay. Boris, who suspects that Kurt is gay, suggests that Kurt would be ideal for the mission. In the Türkenstrasse house, Kurt soon falls into the Bohemian lifestyle and falls deeply in love with Xavier Knopp. Soon, Kurt will not only have to fight for his own life, he’ll have to fight to save the lives of his friends and lover and a deadly and bloody duel ensues that will leave many people dead, and Kurt’s true skill as a marksman comes into its own…
