Summary
“A deal. You pretend to be my boyfriend for a few weeks, show up at my house, escort me to social functions and such. Your overall person, manner and opinions should be enough to truly scandalise my parents. You will only need to be yourself, only less... charming.”
Charles gave him a bright grin. “You think I’m charming?”
Edwin ignored him. “And I will act all smitten with you. When they offer you the money to break up with me – and rest assured, throwing money at problems is their only way of handling anything – you will take it. I shall be horribly heartbroken to make them feel guilty and any subsequent romantic partner who is a bit more... mellow than you will be quite welcome.”
Charles stared at him, unsure of how he could’ve ever thought of Edwin Payne as innocent. “Damn... you are a conniving little bastard, aren’t you?”-
Charles Rowland's first impression of Edwin Payne can be summerized as privileged, rich and aloof – also incredibly pretty, but that’s besides the point. However, when Edwin presents him with a scheme to piss off his conservative parents and get some money out of them in the process, Charles can’t resist the siren call of causing mayham for some Tories.

Summary
Charles nods and then immediately stills, doing a decidedly mediocre job at disguising a wince. It’s a motion that makes Edwin’s heart lurch right along with him.
“Are you alright?”
“Yeah.” The words are clipped and, from a few steps closer, Edwin can make out the tension in Charles’ jaw, the subtle rigidity to the way he holds himself. “Course. Just memory shit, innit? Like Crystal warned us.”
“I believe so,” Edwin agrees. Then, much more carefully, “That does not necessarily make it easier to relive. Especially since I have grown used to an intangible form, it is…strange to remember so immediately.”

Charles hadn't anticipated a fire call would wind up with him meeting a gorgeous bookstore owner, and Edwin hadn't assumed handsome firemen simply appeared in your foyer. Fate has a funny way of proving you wrong when you least expect it to.

Summary
He was a lawyer looking to pay someone to fool his family into thinking he was in a relationship, he was an out-of-work musician looking for a paying job... Can I make it any more obvious?
“So, I’ll tell you a bit about myself and the job. Then you can decide if you want to stay to answer my questions. It is very important we both are happy with the situation before we continue.” Oh shit, it’s definitely a sex dungeon. Charles thought to himself. Although, not sure I’d mind him tying me up and- Charles shook his head slightly. Focus.
“Right, no problem.” Charles coughed slightly, still thinking about that dungeon.
“So, as I said in the advert: it is a very simple job but it is also highly unusual. I am looking for a companion, you see.”
“Like, someone to shag?” Charles blurted out before he could help himself.
“Not quite. Believe it or not I am actually able to find my own sexual partners without having to pay them.” Edwin quipped and Charles couldn’t quite tell if he’d offended him.

Summary
After being exposed to toxic spores, Charles is forced to visit a special health resort with medicinal waters to cure the after-effects. For most people, a short vacation to a spa would be great, but not for someone with aquaphobia who died of hypothermia in a lake. Thankfully, Edwin is with him to make things better, despite all the misunderstandings that might occur:
"I know you’re in love with me, but that doesn’t mean you’ve got any excuse to strip me.”
Edwin’s hands froze, and his entire body went rigid with shock. Even before Charles could realize the magnitude of his mistake, Edwin’s hands immediately pulled away as though he had been burned. The older boy’s face reflected a mix of fear and hurt.
Oh Fuck, fuck, fuck.
