Summary
Laurent is the editor in chief of Acquitart Publishing. He is high-powered, ruthless, and has just found out that his visa has been denied. Desperate and erratic, he forces his assistant Damen into marrying him to avoid deportation and to keep his position.
Damen begrudgingly accepts, but not without a few conditions of his own, one of them being a week in Akielos for his mother’s birthday where Laurent can meet the family and they can announce their engagement together.

Summary
Damianos is a demigod, the son of the king of Akielos and the goddess of strength, bravery, and victory, who wanders the land offering his strength to people in need of help.

Summary
Prince Laurent of Vere is supposed to be dead. He was supposed to be betrayal, brutalized, and murdered by men hired by his own family. But instead, he is pressed against a broad, warm chest and promised that he’ll have an army to reclaim his crown if he journeys to Akielos and wins a competition there called ‘The Kallisti’.
Crown Prince Damianos of Akielos is on a mission to prove his honor and courage through a contest. When he rescues someone claiming to be the Prince of Vere from being drugged and murdered, he finds his key to victory. Now all he has to do is bring everyone back to Ios without getting killed…
Based on the French fairytale ‘Peau d’Ane’ and a classic Greek myth.

Summary
Growing up, Laurent had often heard about the ancient allegory, young boys and girls around the court whispering insistently about how they had woken up with their own mark, their own word signifying their other half.
The very fact that you could wake up one day with a word suddenly inked on your skin, a form of endearment that you shared with someone who could be in any of the kingdoms, branded into your skin like an engraving.
Laurent was ten years old when his own word appeared.

Summary
Laurent gestured subtly, towards the other end of the ballroom where a group of men were talking amiably. “Him,” Laurent said.
Auguste looked. “What about him?”
“I’m going to court him.”
There was a long pause. “That’s King Damianos of Akielos.”
“Okay,” Laurent replied.

“Don’t read it,” Damen says, urgently, and he tries to pull Laurent back.
In Akielon and, oddly, Veretian, the wall of the cave says: What does your heart desire?

Summary
It starts, embarrassingly enough, with an ad from Craigslist:
"I’m a 21 y.o art student (male), writing a thesis on the relationship between performance and the awareness of the audience. You don’t care about that. I’m an actor offering to give you the most dramatic night of your life. I’ll be your date to any event/function/family gathering, and convince your friends/family members that I’m either: the biggest mistake of your life or the best thing that ever happened to you. Up to you. I’m very good at what I do."
