    Summary

    Dearest gentle reader
    The season has opened for the year of 1814, and with it comes the usual suspects flocking back to the ton from their rustic country houses. Eager mamas, rakish bachelors, and overzealous daughters looking to avoid spinsterhood all once again join the ranks of society for the purpose of making a match.
    Though this author has little hope that this season will be any different from all the rest, I would be remiss to mention that this season will show the return of two of this society's most scandalous figures – Lord Derek Hale and Mr. Stiles Stilinski.

     

    or, when Derek Hale returns to society for the first time in eight years in order to find a match for his sister Cora, he remains firm that he will never marry. Stiles Stilinski, though intent on marrying, vows that he will never marry for love and, in fact, is looking for a match without it. When Stiles begins courting Cora, despite Derek's intense disapproval, things go in a different direction than either of them expected.

    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

    His nerves felt like a live wire was running hot beneath his skin, hands fidgeting with the silken material of his robe. If he had the concentration to spare, he might had worried about tearing it.

    It was all he could do to sit there at the vanity, eyes squeezed shut, and try to give in the constricting pressure around his chest that said that he was about to fall into a panic attack.
     
    Breath in. Breath out. His own heartbeat rushed in his ears.

     

    Being mated to the reclusive king with a frightening reputation to his name, bundled away from his home and father, and then surrounded by underwhelmingly distant faces hiding secrets was not how Stiles Stilinski imagine spending his life soon after turning eighteen. He can only remind himself that it is for the good of his people, both old and newly acquired. But, perhaps first assumptions are made too hastily and a fated match can be made, even surrounded by threats of war, revenge and death’s waiting embrace.

    Summary

    “Talia was just telling me an interesting story,” his dad informed him. Stiles didn’t have the nerve to glance over at him, because he knew no matter how much he argued, the proof was all there. The wolves had found him, Parrish had picked him up on the side of the road, he had a fucking picture on his phone. He was screwed. No point in arguing, all it’d do is piss his father off even more.

    “You don’t say,” Stiles offered slowly. “What uh—you know, I like stories. Is it a uh, good one?”

    “It seems to be a matter of opinion,” Talia said with another kind smile. “I hear you had quite the night last night.”

    Okay, time to cut his losses. He was already fucked, all he could do was apologize and hope she didn’t press for him to get fined and arrested. Given he was her husband’s friend’s son, he had high hopes.

    “I’m really sorry,” Stiles blurted out. “It was stupid and-and irresponsible and just—I am so sorry. I shouldn’t have crossed into your territory. I should’ve known better, I do know better! It was a complete lapse in judgement and I am just—I am so sorry.”

    Summary

    With the rising cost of everything, Stiles can’t see a way out of the debt his dad is in. He knows they’re on the verge of losing the house. They need money desperately. So Stiles does the unthinkable. He volunteers for the taboo of all taboos, the lowest of the lows, and the thing no one talks about but everyone knows about. Stiles offers himself up to the Human Advancement Corporation—specifically, the X-Corps division. Everyone knows some shady stuff goes down at the Corporation or HAC for short, except no one knows what that shady stuff is, since volunteers are sworn to secrecy with an ironclad NDA. ‘Volunteering’ is for desperate people, and Stiles is feeling pretty desperate these days.
