"'Desperate men have no morals . . .'
Léon Lyon: beautiful, beloved, broken. As premier executioner of Reims, he's desired and feared in equal measure, a celebrity of the most dangerous kind, a symbol of justice and good citizenship in the explosive era of the French Revolution. But Léon has a secret. Each head he takes brings him one day closer to escape. He's been saving every centime he's ever earned, and any day now, he'll leave town and rescue his little brother Émile from the same gruesome fate that has befallen him.
But all Léon's plans are thrown into disarray when Émile is kidnapped by the dashing, dangerous, and despicable Henri De Villiers. At the mercy of a cruel and calculating (if handsome) blackmailer, Léon's only chance to save his brother is to play the man's wicked game.
Yet, as Léon is drawn deeper into Henri's world, he begins to see a different side of him. Idealistic, passionate, willing to kill or die for those he loves, Henri might just be the escape Léon's been searching for all these years.
But can Léon ever forgive Henri for what he's done? And can either of them survive the mysterious supernatural force that seems to haunt their every move?"
"For fans of Becky Chambers and TJ Klune, this is an action-packed sci-fi, spicy MM rom-com where a struggling karate teacher meets the quantum physicist version of himself from a parallel universe...and they fall for each other while trying to save their worlds.
August Blackthorne is broke, fresh out of a messy breakup, and the apparent object of a stalker’s affection. But everything changes when he finally confronts the guy who’s been following him, only to discover that he’s actually...himself. From a parallel universe. A smarter, more confident, sexy quantum physicist version of him, and for some reason, he wants August’s help.
August Blackthorne (the other one) was supposed to find the other version of himself, put their brains together, and fix the problem he’s created. Only that August isn’t a quantum physicist—he’s a bodybuilding, music-loving, karate-teaching sweetheart. And unless they can find a way to undo this mess, his whole existence will be torn apart, atom by atom, himself included.
How are they supposed to save the universe when doing so will destroy each other, the one person each truly cares about?"
