Summary
Stiles is the engine that runs Doughboy, the chaotic little bakery he built from his late mother’s treasured recipes, but the stress of keeping her memory alive, 16-hour days, 6 days a week, has started to take its toll. To make matters worse, when the town's Chamber of Commerce pressures him into a cooking competition for their latest viral marketing stunt, he’s partnered with the last person he’d ever choose. Derek Hale, the world-traveled trust-fund baby and brooding Gordan Ramsey wannabe.
Derek, a professional chef who's still struggling with the recent passing of his sister, is the last living Hale to uphold a world-class culinary legacy. While returning to Beacon Hills, his childhood hometown, he opens his flagship restaurant, Hales, as an honor to the memory of his late family. But now he's stuck with Stiles Stilinski, the hot mess from the Doughboy bakery, who's stuck in the past and refuses to join the present, as a partner in a viral cooking competition that could make or break his new restaurant's success.
Sparks fly as flour meets foie gras, and their rivalry in the culinary scene threatens to ignite into something far messier, and far more irresistible, than either expected.

Summary
Stiles Stilinski was never supposed to be royalty. Hiding in a backwater village, he lived as a woodcutter, keeping secret the Gift that marked him as an Omega: the power to heal any wound or sickness. Yet, when a wolf attack nearly kills his father and almost wipes out his village, Stiles reveals himself to save them, and within days, knights drag him to the royal court.
King Peter Hale declares Stiles a Prince of the Kingdom, placing him under the watch of his brooding nephew, Derek, a Wolfknight bound by honor and silence. Stiles, sarcastic and stubborn, refuses to be a pampered saint. He heals commoners, soldiers, anyone in need, defying nobles who would turn his gift into gold. Slowly, Derek begins to see the man's compassion as braver than any knight’s sword.
In a world where Omegas are worshipped as divine, Stiles must decide if love is the truest choice of all.

---
After a long, stressful winter at court, Merlin decides Arthur needs some time away from the castle to reclaim his peace. Can he bring his prince the pleasure and tranquillity he needs to carry on, or do the old gods have other plans for them?

Summary
“Those contracts that you signed was you agreeing to follow producer instructions.Your instructions were to give us drama. Whether or not you like each other, you are, for all intents and purposes, hired actors for these seven weeks,” Finstock snaps. “Pretend to actually like each other or I will dock your pay.”
- - -
Married at First Glance gives its participants seven weeks. Seven weeks, starting when they meet and marry their “perfect match”, to decide if they want to stay married or divorce.For Stiles and Derek though, the challenge lies within trying to pretend that they don’t absolutely hate each other’s guts. When you’re married to a werewolf who dislikes humans, however, this can get a little tricky.
But the sweet, sweet cash reward at the end will be worth it. Right?

Summary
'Merlin, my friend. What –?'
'I need your help hiding a body.'
Every man in the antechamber froze, the silence thick and breathless. No one so much as moved as they all stared at the threshold, where the door stood ajar only a fraction, blocking them from view.
Yet it was Lancelot's reply, carried on the edge of a weary sigh, that made disbelief stutter in Arthur's chest.
'Again?'
******
A fragment of overheard conversation leads Arthur and his knights deep into the Darkling Woods, where the truth about Merlin's magic finally comes out.

Summary
Merlin Emrys, 1500 years old, clinical medical examiner, professional hermit, has finally made peace with the fact that Arthur is gone.
He has not made peace with this. He has simply gotten very good at pretending.When Detective Inspector Arthur Pennington walks into his morgue on a Tuesday, looking exactly the same and remembering absolutely nothing, Merlin's carefully constructed equilibrium lasts approximately forty seconds.
There is also a murder. Possibly magic. Definitely a conspiracy. But mostly, this is about a man who has been in love for fifteen centuries trying to hold it together in a pub while Arthur Pendragon sits pressed against his leg and has no idea.
Slow burn. Reincarnation. Heavy on the yearning, light on the sense.

Summary
Any new visitor to Camelot would have thought that it was a perfectly ordinary day; they would have looked around at the clean streets, the bright, sunny morning, and the bustling, smiling townspeople, and thought: this is a wonderful, happy, peaceful kingdom!
They would have been very, very wrong; it was, in fact, a kingdom in turmoil.
Not because of a war, or famine, or a rampaging beast or evil sorcerer’s curse. Oh, no; that would have been preferrable to the actual cause of Camelot’s turmoil. No, the real trouble was far, far worse, and it had everyone— from the wealthiest lord to the lowliest beggar— hiding their strain behind their smiles.
Arthur and Merlin were fighting.

'Will you show me?'
Merlin eased back, raising his eyebrows.
'Not Camelot,' Arthur hastened to explain. 'I'll see that for myself.' He grinned, bright and boyish, at the thought of the long, shared future that lay ahead of them. 'I want to know what London was like before you came here. To us.'

Summary
Merlin's eyes changed when he did magic. He knew that. In the privacy of his own head, Arthur had come to think of that golden gleam as beautiful since he'd discovered the secret of his sorcery. This was different. It crackled like lightning; a storm held in Merlin's gaze. It cast brief light upon his cheekbones, spilling odd shadows across his face.
'What's happening?'
'He is dying,' a woman's voice said, sugar-sweet. 'And he will take you with him, Arthur Pendragon.'
---
A routine hunt threatens to become a fatal disaster when Arthur and Merlin are captured and imprisoned in a dungeon used during the Purge. Can they fight their way to freedom, or will Merlin's power be the death of them?
