    Summary

    Bookseller Aziraphale has never had much of a green thumb, but when radio host A.J. Crowley's new book about houseplants arrives at the shop, he makes an effort to sell as many copies as possible.
    His job is on the line, after all. And a mysterious redheaded customer with a penchant for vandalism isn’t helping.

    Summary

    There was something in the shadows. Something coiled there, the light gleaming on dark scales. Something misbegotten and monstrous.
    No, not a monster. Crowley.

    Summary

    Aziraphale Z. Fell is a rising star of the spiritual literary genre - the next Eat Pray Love guy - and his version of Chicken Soup For the Christian Soul is flying off the shelves. It's not that he's not grateful, but it's one thing to enjoy a career in writing and another completely to be pigeonholed into a specific genre, so much so that you are almost forbidden from writing anything else.
    So yes, maybe he has a bit of a secret. An outlet for his less... appropriate urges. And yes, if his typical readership got word of the sort of paragraphs he could put out on a particularly inspired night, they might suffer some form of heart attack typical for their age.
    But all of that is well hidden, and there is absolutely no way anyone would ever find out about his Arrangement with A.J. Crowley - the most debaucherous romantic fiction author of the decade.
    That is... until they have to pretend to be married to each other.

    Summary

    The London Season of 1841 opened with a flourish of silk and the sharp scent of ambition. Having spent years honing his craft in the most elite bordello of Paris, Mr. Anthony Crowley arrived to London with a singular, razor-sharp objective: to trade his "personal services" for social currency and climb the Victorian ladder, one rung at a time.

    Across the city, Aziraphale having unexpectedly inherited the title of the Earl of Eastgate, finds himself trying to navigate an aristocratic world of unwritten rules he barely understood and never wanted. When the haughty Duke Gabriel presented him with a month-long, pre-paid contract for Mr Crowley's 'exclusive services', Aziraphale was more than dismayed—he was mortified.

    Unwilling to indulge in the physicalities of the contract, Aziraphale finds himself considering Crowley’s most unusual counter-proposal. The Earl needed a tutor for the Ton; Crowley needed a respectable appearance of an Earl on his arm. Crowley would teach him the etiquette of the elite, and in exchange, they would perform the role of devoted paramours for the public eye.

    It was a sensible, businesslike arrangement. Certainly no feelings would be involved...

    Summary

    Some time after Warlock's ninth birthday, Aziraphale and Crowley have realised they made a mistake, and tracked the real Antichrist down to Tadfield. Two years to save the world is more than enough, right?

    Except everyone keeps assuming they are a married couple, and it's almost too much for a hopelessly in love demon to bear. Especially when Aziraphale suggests they might as well go along with it.
