(W/A/CA) Stjepan Sejic How do you deal with a broken heart? Junk food? Excessive drinking? Dubious contracts with ancient gods? For Laure Thomas, the queen of bad decisions, the answer is always the worst possible choice. So when she finds herself with the rare opportunity to have her broken heart patched by the highest-rated god of desire, what could possibly go wrong? A tale of gods, mortals, love, lust, death, and bad decisions - that all starts with a simple bite of a golden apple.

(W/A/CA) Stjepan Sejic A tale of gods, mortals, love, lust, death, and bad decisions-that all starts with a simple bite of a golden apple. When Lauren signs the divine contract promising bliss for the price of love, she expects to be granted the services of the highest ranking god of desire. To everyone's surprise this is a contested title and what was supposed to be a simple routine transaction becomes a mess of divine legalities, competitiveness and harsh decisions that involve a higher power, and the higher power is not happy about it. In this game of carnal delights and absolute stubbornness lives may be at stake, especially when an ex-fury is put in an uncomfortable position that compromises the well being of her family. Welcome to FINE PRINT, VOL. 2?this is where it gets weird.

(W/A/CA) Stjepan Sejic **In Volume 3 of FINE PRINT (aka Why sex with gods is NOT a good idea), we dive in deep and discover that not all winged things are angels, not all horned ones bring damnation, and surprise-surprise, no amount of unbridled bliss can actually solve your problems.** Like any painkiller, bliss only takes you so far. This is a lesson that unlucky-in-love Lauren Thomas is going to have to learn the hard way, despite the aid of some of the underworld's foremost incubi. Even in Lauren's unique position - having divine entities at your romantic beck and call - wrestling with the past is no one's idea of a good time. Not that things are any easier for the immortals in Lauren's orbit; whether you execute contracts or shoot heart-shaped arrows, interpersonal dynamics always end up complicating things. Strap in, everyone ? this is where it gets miserable.
