Fragile Tender #3
Winter Sun
Love is torture.
Nice has a mate he loves with all his heart—a mate he can’t even touch, because Nice is getting sicker. The longer he goes without Rook’s touch, the more it hurts, but Rook would rather see Nice suffer than die, no matter how he begs, and June’s sanity is slowly fraying from all the crying.
Nice’s only comfort is spending his days napping with June—the ward who hopes he dies, given to him by the woman he got killed—and sunning himself in the garden of Rook’s family estate.
But news has spread since the Burned Lady’s death, of a lost child of the white court running around with an incubus, one with an uncanny resemblance to the white court’s fearsome king; and Nice is summoned before the Seven Courts in the North to answer to thinly veiled charges.
In a court where lies are impossible and only the inhuman can survive, can Nice keep his most dangerous secret? And can Rook bear to stand by and watch?
Winter Sun is the third book of Fragile Tender, a high-heat M/M contemporary fantasy series.

About the author
Hope Zane
26 books21 followersHope Zane (they/them) writes queer fiction, particularly fantasy that straddles the line between love and horror. We aren't afraid of the dark around these parts—not the night outside the window or the shadow parts of the human soul.
Hope tells dark stories with a thread of hope woven through them, stories about sex that are really about trust, and stories about pain that are really about love.
They're here to remind you that there are things that can harm us but still nothing to fear.
