    Summary

    A lonely Senior Lecturer and an angry book-loving solicitor find each other - and love - through secret, forbidden notes tucked into priceless London Library books.

    This is their story: glances, confessions, all the moments that make their life together special. Big and little glimpses, highs and lows, laughter and desire and heartbreak - all written in literature, in notes and vignettes, in the margins.

    Summary

    After more than twenty years in publishing, Aziraphale Fell finds himself redundant and desperate enough to try advertising. As a senior copywriter he's paired with Crowley, a cynical art director who's spent years in the agency coasting on talent and contempt.

    They shouldn't work together well – Aziraphale with his passion, his fountain pens and faith in craft, Crowley with his irreverence, his sunglasses and studied indifference.

    But somehow they do.

    Summary

    Professional organizer Crowley has three rules: keep it minimal, stay detached, and never get involved with clients. Literature professor Aziraphale Fell is about to break all of them.

    Hired to tackle the most cluttered flat in London, Crowley expects dust, chaos, and a quick exit. What he doesn't expect is falling for a disaster of a man who argues about every teacup, reads poetry at breakfast, and somehow makes Crowley want to stay in one place for the first time in his life.

    Now if only staying were that simple.

    A GO rom-com. Sort of.

    Summary

    Crowley lost his sight at twenty-nine. He lost his boyfriend, his career, his will to live. Eighteen months later, he's barely surviving – counting hours until he can drink himself to sleep.

    His neighbour Muriel thinks they're friends. They're wrong. But somehow, they've convinced him to attend a party thrown by the new downstairs neighbour, Aziraphale.
    Reluctantly, he goes. And then he hears a voice that makes him want to be alive again.

    Which is terrifying. Wanting something means risking everything. And Crowley has already lost too much.

    Summary

    Crowley had Aziraphale over weeks ago and hadn’t been able to offer him anything except a kitchen stool and some leftover shepherd’s pie. His own flat has never been anything other than a place to keep his plants, sleep, and waste time when he was between jobs or get-togethers with Aziraphale - he didn’t have so much as a throw to offer him.

    Demons didn’t nest. Angels and birds did, but demons didn’t, really. It wasn’t done. Nests are home and comfortable - the antithesis of demons everywhere. They could; the instinct is still there, just like the wings they still have.

    But they don’t.

    Crowley, though. He’s never much cared for tradition.

    Sitting in the backseat of the Bentley and staring out the window, he murmured, “Never been a very good demon though, have I? What’s an itty-bitty nest compared to taking a stand against Satan themselves?”
