Summary
The “Partners Weekend” at Merrick Industries was a bit of a joke, and in more ways than one. Who actually had time to spend a long couples weekend with people you worked with? But Joe had slaved away too many hours at his desk to blow off his chance at a promotion just like that. Particularly when all he had to actually do for it was spend a weekend in some manor house in the English countryside with his colleagues.
Which led him to his current predicament: Who of his friends would agree to pose as his spouse for four days – and at one week’s notice?
Double fake-dating AU: Joe asks Quynh to pretend to be his wife for an important work social at Merrick Industries. Andy brings her good friend Nicky under a similar guise. Only of course none of them are actually straight, and of course none of them are willing to admit that.
A dumbasses-to-lovers story.

Summary
Eliott Demaury has been on the run for the past eight years of his life, but he's tired of running.
He lives in a world where Gods take human vessels, and on his eighteen birthday, he was marked to be the reincarnation of Hades, God of the Dead. His mother, foreseeing what a terrible toll it would take on her son to have to live in the Underworld for the rest of his life, a place without sunlight or change, sacrificed herself to hide his powers from the Fates, the terrifying entities who handle all the Gods' business on Earth. Before dying she told him one thing : don't look for your Persephone, because once you find her, you will not be able to resist your calling.
And ever since then, he's been working as a lowly exorcist, casting out the restless dead instead of guiding them. But this loneliness is, well, killing him. So he decides to take a job in New Athens, in the anonymity of the big city, for a rich CEO who has a ghost problem.
He tells himself that one night out at a club can't hurt that much, right ? And after that he will be too busy, anyway...
He should have known. Fate always finds a way.

Summary
Eliott Demaury is a criminal defense lawyer, and a damn good one. Promising career, perfect girlfriend, he's got it all.
He's also bored to death.
Enter Lucas Lallemant.
His latest client. Witty, too damn charming to be honest, and absolutely refusing to cooperate.
Caught in the aftermath of a diamond robbery, he starts spinning wild tales of cursed jewels, mobster connections, family feuds and shadowy organizations. All seemingly designed for the express purpose to entice Eliott into his dangerous world.
Soon Eliott is risking his career, reputation and safety to get to the truth. And that's just the beginning...going down that road will lead him to face dark secrets set in motion before he was even born, and sides of himself he'd never even knew existed before. He will learn the true meaning of family and the things that really make him powerful.
And he will fall head over heels in love with the most inconvenient man he could have picked in the entire universe.
