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
Laurent needs this job. Not in the I need to put food on the table and a roof over my head kind of way. He's got a generous inheritance, thank you very much. No, he needs this job to prove he is a functioning adult who did not waste his late mother's money on an expensive education. He can be normal, whatever that is.
Laurent needs this job and it feels like his last chance so he tells a little lie to help himself get ahead.
Then along comes Damen.

Summary
‘Two monsters at my door,’ the voice said with a reluctant hint of amusement. ‘I’ll pass.’
‘I am no monster,’ Damen said, laughing in surprise, and then: ‘You are not a vengeful ghost, are you?’
‘I—’ the face reappeared at the window, leaning down a little so as to take a better look, and allowing Damen to see that it was a boy, or perhaps a young man speaking. ‘I am not a ghost.’
‘No promises on the vengefulness, I see,’ Damen said, and was surprised to see the boy smile.
‘I’ll help you,’ he said, ‘and you will return at this same hour tomorrow, and grant me a favour.’

Two princes died at Marlas.
At least, that's how the story goes.

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."
