    Prince, living in his Gothic Mansion, has other, more nefarious ideas, and will do anything he considers necessary to facilitate his requirements.

    Written in letters, diary entries and reports.

    Summary

    When fussy perfectionist Aziraphale and hipster artist Crowley first cross paths, they instantly despise each other. But all that tension results in crackling chemistry. They agree to a secret enemies-with-benefits arrangement—just hot sex, no strings attached.

    All is going to plan until—oh, no—romantic feelings start to develop. Several major decisions, meddling Whickber Street neighbours, and big surprises help them stumble their way from enemies to lovers.

    Crowley ran his tongue across his lips, contemplating. “And what do you like?”

    “Wit. Style.” Aziraphale’s eyes flicked down to Crowley’s mouth as he drifted closer. “Impeccable manners.”

    “Manners,” Crowley scoffed. He set his glass down, hovering within striking distance of that irresistible cologne and the heat of Aziraphale’s neck. “What you need is someone to wreck you. Someone to rip off all those buttons and properly rattle your bones so you remember that you’re alive.”

    Anger sparked in Aziraphale’s eyes, their colour a tempest of blue and grey, a stormy sea a man could drown in. He pursed his lips, then spoke, that deep and sonorous tone rippling over Crowley again. “And you need discipline.”

    Summary

    One cold night Aziraphale encounters a redheaded stranger taking shelter at a bus stop. Not wanting the poor man to sleep out in the elements, Aziraphale pays for his bus fare in hopes the man can reach safety and shelter. Before parting Aziraphale gifts him his scarf to keep warm.

    To Aziraphale, it's a simple act of kindness that eventually gets pushed to the back of his mind. To Crowley, it's a life changing encounter.

    Twenty years later Anthony Crowley is an accomplished singer and songwriter, dressing in all black except for a curious light tartan scarf. When asked about it, he always responds that it was a gift from an angel. An angel he's been searching for all those years.

    Summary

    Aziraphale never meant to work in fashion. He dreamed of writing, surrounded by books and silence — not couture handbags and cruel glares. But moving to another country is expensive, and landing a job as assistant at Temptations magazine is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. All he has to do is survive five months under the rule of Anthony J. Crowley: legendary editor-in-chief, razor-tongued icon of the industry… and utterly impossible to please.
