Summary:


“Alec Lightwood? That boy puts family and duty before anything else. But he’s smart, Magnus. Very smart. And your succession is not as yet secure. You could do with someone very smart on your side. And someone whose brother is in the Palace Guard.”

“I can’t help but feel they’d be more on our side if we hadn’t just ordered them into servitude,” he retorted and turned back to the Lightwoods only to find Alec standing not two feet away.

“My lord,” he said and bowed.
 
Two years ago, Magus returned to his father’s kingdom to find his old friend – well, possibly more than a friend – Alec Lightwood pressed into service in his household. In those two years, Magnus has fallen deeper and deeper for him, but can’t break through Alec’s walls of propriety.

Now, in the run up to the Seelie Queen’s visit, more and more is happening within the court that could push Alec out of his grasp forever, from potential arranged marriages to his own father wanting to steal Alec to his own bed. And Alec still has no idea what a simple touch from him can do to Magnus – but is about to find out.

Summary:


When Magnus has to go away on a business trip to wintery London, Alec makes sure he won’t get cold.

Growing up in the Institute had taught Alec a lot of things. Most importantly, to always have warm clothes at hand as soon as the weather became chilly. The concrete walls of the Institute may be a perfect shield against the heat during summer, but they absorbed every bit of warm air inside as well. So warm clothing during winter it was. For Alec, that didn’t really pose as a problem, he had long gotten used to low temperatures in the Institute.

Magnus, however, was an entirely different story.

Unrequited Feelings

  

Summary:

Alec loves his job. He’s been touring since he was sixteen. He’s stayed in dozens of countries over the years, learned enough of their languages to get a beer in his hand and a man in his bed. The road is as much his home as the townhouse on the Upper West Side. He’s as comfortable in cheap hotel rooms with scratchy linens and glaring lights as he is in his penthouse that overlooks Central Park with its silk sheets and the constant hum of the city that never sleeps.

Alec works hard and that hard work has paid off. He just finished his latest sold-out world tour and by all rights, he should be on top of the world. But the mental pressure of celebrity is getting to Alec and he doesn’t trust his footing. He’s stuck where most people would kill to be and he just wants to know what his next move should be.

Enter Magnus Bane. A history professor at Columbia University, Magnus is content with his friends, his classes, and the occasional warm body in his bed. But he’s been feeling stagnant, looking for the next chapter in his life to begin. If only he knew what Alec would bring his way.

Summary:

Magnus and Jace had been at each other’s throats since the day they’d met, expressing their dislike of one another through pranks that could quickly go wrong. And after several years, it had turned into a real prank war, under Alec’s disbelieving eyes. The fact that he was now dating Magnus and that Jace – his best friend! – had no idea was just a detail.
