What if the characters of Criminal Intentions took a different path in life? What if Malcolm Khalaji was a big-bellied baker, and Seong-Jae Yoon a grouchy graphic designer? A vampire and a vampire hunter. A knight and a warlock. Cybernetic supersoldiers pitted against each other in a future war. Explore alternate universes, alternate lives...and find out everything and everyone Malcolm and Seong-Jae could ever be. On the day of December's first snow, the man in black walks into Malcolm's bakery...and a single cupcake begins a chain of events that will change their lives forever. Shy looks. Sweet curiosity. Slow smiles and softly ventured interest, until a snowed-in night and a strange situation open the door for more. For whispered names. For mutual understanding. For a longing as sweet as curls of thickly swirled icing, melting on the tongue and making each man crave the other's luscious taste. In Seong-Jae Yoon, Malcolm Khalaji finds a man of surprising passion and sweetness underneath his surly facade--and in Malcolm, Seong-Jae finds the safety, love, and shelter he's always been afraid to seek. Two familiar characters set in different lives and different paths, but still finding their way to each other. And from date to date, touch to touch, kiss to kiss, they discover...no matter what lives they've lived, the love between them will always blossom--and stand the test of time. This series is a set of AUs, or alternate universes, featuring characters from the Criminal Intentions series reimagined in different roles and different genres.
