Summary
Evelyn Vale won a great deal of money from a wealthy idiot on a yacht in Antibes. Fair and square, as it happens - a detail he has conveniently forgotten.
Unfortunately, he won't pay. More unfortunately still, Evelyn Vale doesn't exist quite enough to sue him for it.
Which is how Josephine and Brigitte - one posing as a woman she isn't, the other posing as a solicitor she also isn't - come to be sitting in a stately Provençal salon, waiting for an audience with the one person who actually controls the family funds: his grandmother.
She is ninety-one years old, entirely unimpressed, and about to uncover a good deal more than either of them bargained for.

The morning after the night before, and Josephine has a lot of thinking to do now she's able to reliably do so.
This is dangerous for everyone involved. Truly.

Summary
Brigitte Desjardins has spent years tolerating Josephine Chesterfield’s nonsense with remarkable patience.
Josephine - elegant criminal mastermind, professional liar, and frequent visitor to the Beaumont-sur-Mer commissariat - talks her way past a new desk officer by casually claiming to be Brigitte’s wife.
Unfortunately, the entire station hears her do it.
Now Brigitte is enduring wedding favours in the break room, bridal magazines on her desk, and a staff who believe themselves unbearably hilarious every time they ask after her “wife.”
Josephine, naturally, finds the fallout delightful.
Brigitte has had enough and decides that Josephine should face some consequences for once.
After all, Josephine always rewrites the narrative.
...Perhaps it is time someone returned the favour?

Summary
A misunderstanding when they first meet leads Brigitte to believe that Josephine only wants what Brigitte can offer as a police officer.
For years afterwards, their relationship is carefully confined to something safe and professional.
Until one evening forces both women to confront the truth of their situation...or, rather, what they each believe the truth to be.
