Peculiar Engagements
Iris Foxglove

Yves Cooper is the most sought-after courtesan in Staria. With a meddling family urging him to settle down and the only man he’d ever wanted planning to leave the country, Yves is on the hunt for an advantageous, albeit loveless, marriage. What better way to find a match than to engage Starian high society in a husband contest?
The last thing Charon wants is to watch a gaggle of nobles compete for the chance to marry the man he loves. His plans to flee Staria—and the charming Yves—fall to the wayside as he’s drawn deeper into Yves’ plans. However, unrest is brewing in the streets of Staria, and as Charon’s harrowing past catches up with him, he wonders if even Yves would be willing to see him for who he truly is.
