    Summary

    “Will your husband join you for lunch today, Mrs. O’Connor?”

    Agatha frowns, “My husband?”

    The steward tilts his head in confusion, but as soon as he opens his mouth to reply, the door to the train car opens and Rio strides in with her chaotic elegance. She unapologetically sits in front of her.
    “How’s the fish done?” Rio asks, without looking up from the menu.

    “Baked, sir.” the steward politely answers.

    “Sir?” Agatha scoffs, bewildered.

    “People tend to see me as they wish.” Death carelessly explains, eyes never leaving the page. “I’ll have the salad and my wife will take the steak, will you not, dear?”

    Agatha is blanking again, she was indeed going for the steak, “Fish, thank you.”

    “But you so prefer something bloody,” Rio grins at her, all teeth of course.

     

    Or: Fall of 1951, Agatha embarks a luxurious train to San Francisco with plans to accomplish an intricate ritual. She expects a pleasant journey until, somewhere between the smoker’s lounge and the dining car, Death appears, being her usual disruptive self.

    Summary

    Set in the early 19th Century, The Vidal Family’s standing comes into question when their sole heir and daughter, Rio Vidal, nears the age of seven-and-twenty, unmarried and far too preoccupied with the trouble of the neighbor’s adopted stable girl, Agatha.

    In the face of societal rumor mongering and her daughter's peculiarities, Lady Vidal orchestrates a summer of masquerades to help encourage Rio to procure a respectable engagement.

    But can one find love hiding behind a mask?

    OR

    Rio Vidal finds herself caught between the forbidden, unrealized feelings for a woman of the wrong class and the enchanting mystery of a masked suitor who promises everything society demands of her.

    Summary

    Agatha Harkness runs an underground service where she seduces and humiliates arrogant Alphas on behalf of wronged omegas, taking pride in dismantling their disgusting egos. After completing another successful job, her friend Lilia asks her for an unusual favour- helping her shy, underconfident Alpha niece learn to step into her identity. Reluctantly agreeing out of loyalty (and of course payment), Agatha is introduced to Rio, a sweet, unsuspecting Alpha who is nothing like the alphas she’s used to tearing down.

    Summary

    Agatha let herself fall onto a plush little sofa by the office door. Her legs dangled over the armrest; her hair was fanning around her head.

    Ophelia drowning in a river of bullshit.

    "So what if I'm not likeable?" She asked the ceiling. "I'm an exceptional writer. You should remind the public of that instead of trying to marry me off to TikTok's favorite tradwife for PR!"

    "I want you to date Instagram's favorite baker for PR." Jen corrected her with the patience of an elementary school teacher. "Think about it, Aggs! Rio needs to officially come out and get rid of the tradwife rumors. You need relatability points with the public to promote your new book. It makes total sense. Two birds, one stone and all that."

    Agatha was too busy drowning to answer.

    Or: At what point does 'pretending to be in love' turn into pretending not to be?

    Summary

    agatha harkness did not want another friend, thank you very much. she definitely didn't want to be set up to spend an evening with a stranger at a party when she could have been at the bar, or better yet, at home in her pjs. but sometimes, even if you don't want something, you get it anyway. that's just the way of the world. and in the rarest of cases, that thing you didn't want...it might just be exactly what you need.
