One-Eyed Royals by Cordelia Kingsbridge (Book 4 of Seven of Spades series): It's really hard to read about Dominic & Levi dealing with their messy and painful break up, Dominic's struggle with gambling addiction besides their crime investigation. It's a decent book that I don't want to re-read.
Prisoner 374215 by Angel Martinez: It's a short story about a war prisoner who lost everything, including his name and found unexpected love in the night guard in charge of monitoring him and keeping him alive. It contains torture, rape and is bleak at times, but it's also touching and hopeful.
Typhoon Signal No. 8 by Ka Bi Qiu: In Hong Kong, typhoon Signal No. 8 is issued in advance when a gale or storm is about to threaten the local territory. Huo Cangzhi was told to go to his recently dead younger brother's apartment and found Xu Chu who was a prisoner there. With a literal tickling bomb, they found love while trying to escape.
