Period

Corsets, courts, and candlelight — desire in another century.

Velvet and Gunpowder

The necklace vanished on cue. The attraction between the four of you was never in the programme.

Hired to play piano in Storyville's finest house, you've caught the eye of the woman who owns it all.

Baghdad's most celebrated court singer trades verses with you across the cushions — and starts answering yours first.

A wanted man trying to put the gun down for good — and the one alibi he has no right to ask you for.

Two men, one dawn, twenty paces. Both came to your window the night before. You decide everything.

The harbormaster's widow runs the chandlery, weighs every sailor, and the storm just trapped you both ashore.

The hostess everyone wants and no one keeps — and tonight she's watching you.

A closed cafe, a phrase exchanged wrong. Eva has your package and a truth wrapped in a lie you'll want to believe.

Your first season. The card is full. The corset is tighter than it has to be.
