What if the man of your dreams is also the one of your nightmares? Edwin Matthews just wants to get some sleep. Traveling by steam train with his family, the melancholic nineteen year old is plagued by restless nights and recurring dreams of a fiery disaster. When a mysterious magician comes aboard, the troubled insomniac’s trip takes an interesting turn. Tall, dark, and incredibly handsome, the flamboyant Sir Marco Satori offers to cure what ails Edwin. Spurred by equal parts curiosity, desperation, and attraction, Edwin agrees to the experiment. Suddenly he finds his quiet journey turned into a wild ride of life, love, sex, death..and a few strange things in between. He also finds himself claimed—in more ways than one—while a promise of “eternity” may be more than Edwin bargains for.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong! Anyways, if this IS one, then this falls heavily on the yaoi side in terms of character deve...
I was browsing a review blog when I came across Sleight of Hand's cover art, which caused my “ooh, pretty” reaction to kick in. I read the review and was intrigued. I was a little concerned by the bit in Samhain Publishing's “warning” that mentioned “dubious consent,” but I decided to take my chance...
When I saw cover of this book I had to have it because the dark haired man reminded me of Sebastian from Kuroshitsuji. I was pleasantly surprised that Satori had some similarities with my beloved character. The main character Edwin is likeable as well as his sister Alma. And Edwin love interest is m...
