The Kindest Thing
What if the greatest discovery in human history became the burden no one was meant to carry?
Elias Roan is a careful man. A scientist who trusts measurements more than ambition, he has spent his life chasing questions that others abandoned. Then, alone in a forgotten hangar on the edge of the city, he builds something impossible: a machine that quietly draws power from the emptiness of space itself.
The discovery could transform civilisation, reshape nations, and bring humanity closer to the stars. But Roan understands something few others do. The most dangerous part of a revolution is not the science. It is the people who inherit it.
Two In the Pink
For fifteen years, Guillaume von Arnstett has been the tragic heir to one of Switzerland’s oldest private banking fortunes — paralysed, everyone believes, since the skiing accident that killed the cousin he loved. Devoted, funny, and utterly convincing, he is exactly the man his American carer, Claire, falls for.
But small things don’t add up. A reflex that shouldn’t exist. A phrase spoken too fluently. A predecessor who died in circumstances everyone agreed not to examine too closely, years before Claire ever arrived.
