Summary
Three weeks before Henry Fox's tour for his fourth, highly anticipated, awards-bait novel A Brief War in December begins, his publicist Janella breaks her foot on a bunny slope at Windham.
Alex can't be mad at her, even though he kind of is. Saying it out loud would be like kicking her when she was down, and she already went down a literal mountain in the worst way possible.
Now crammed in Rafael Luna's corner office, Janella is shooting Alex extremely apologetic looks while slumped on her crutches, wearing a bright orange cast. The conversation about who is going to be joining Henry Fox on his multi-city trek across the U.S. is also going downhill. Alex is feeling the same sort of free fall while standing still.
Because out of all the publicists available in their tiny underfunded department, the only one left to escort their company's best-selling author is regrettably him.
The problem is, well, Alex absolutely hates Henry Fox.
Or: Alex is the publicist for Mountchristen Publishers, and is stuck on a two-week tour with their best-selling, but frustrating, author Henry Fox.

Summary
When Alex lands a job house-sitting for an international man of mystery, he’s more than a little intrigued. According to Nora, the owner of the Brooklyn brownstone is a spy. According to June, he’s a prince. Alex is convinced his employer is a fifty-year-old man who loves tartan and ugly, porcelain homewares.
Also, Alex might be flirting with his boss via a handwritten grocery list. Just a little bit.

Summary
She watches him swallow before looking away from her and down at his hands in his lap. “What do you want?” He asks, meeting her eyes again.
She feels exposed, but not because of her lack of clothing.
“Do you want to kiss me? Do you want to touch me?” He asks again.

A happy, smutty little slice of life for Anora and Igor, because I desperately want to see this pairing be happy together.

Summary
“You’re a laugh a minute, Mr IT Man,” Magnus mutters. The eye roll from the other end of the line is practically audible.
“It’s Alec,” the voice says. “Now do you want your screen back or not? It literally doesn’t matter to me either way.”
“You know what I like most about you, Alec? It’s your wonderful telephone manner and easygoing nature.”
“I’ve been told I have a sparkling personality,” Alec intones, and Magnus bites back a grin. This shouldn’t be doing it for him but he’s intrigued, and that doesn’t usually bode well. “Now shut up and let me fix your computer.”
“Direct too,” Magnus quips, moving the phone to his other hand so he can take back control of his mouse. “You must look like a potato to balance this out.”
“Potatoes are neat,” Alec says blandly, then launches into a step-by-step explanation of how to reorient Magnus’s computer screen before Magnus can fully process the reference.

Summary
“I give you permission to woo my brother,” Isabelle says seriously. “Please. Do it for the good of humanity.” Magnus places his hands over hers, which are still gripping his shoulders, and stares back at her with an intensity he’s not sure the subject requires.
“This is in the top five weirdest conversations I’ve ever had,” he says gravely. “But thank you.”
➸
Magnus is a fashion designer. Alec is decidedly not. Magnus thinks that, despite the fundamental difference in their wardrobes, Alexander Lightwood is a mystery he'd rather like to solve. Possibly with his tongue.
