Summary
The trouble started with Marian’s phone buzzing.
Push alerts from the New York Times, Page Six, People, and, God help her, TMZ.“Billionaire Heir in Newport Love Nest with TV Star Susan Blaine”
“Lawrence Russell, 29, Linked to Married TV Anchor 30 Years His Senior”
“Scandal at RussellCorp: Family in Damage Control After Affair Revealed”
Marian’s eyes widened as she tapped one. The article unfurled in garish detail. With equally garish photographs.Her stomach twisted with something that was half disbelief and half… something else she couldn’t name.
Buzz. Another notification. This one wasn’t from a news app but a text.
Larry: Come over.
___________________________________He’s a billionaire’s son with a scandal, she’s his best friend and sick of getting set up on blind dates with every self-absorbed hedgefund manager in New York. When Larry’s dating disaster goes viral globally, he turns to Marian, his most reliable partner in crime, for a little help. Pretending to be the perfect couple sounds simple enough… until late-night texts, accidental kisses and social media fans start making them question if “fake” might just be the most real thing they’ve ever felt.

Summary
I have to admit, I adore the sharing a bed trope, so here it goes...
Bertha and George are invited to the autumn wedding of Oscar van Rhijn and Enid Winterton in upstate New York. Since they are still hoping for a match between Larry and Marian, neither can see a way of getting out of attending. Because bedrooms are limited, Bertha and George are surprisingly assigned one bedroom and it's a good thing, really, as it brings them much closer together than they have been for a while...
It's also autumn vibes/ All Too Well vibes, but I promise a happy ending 😉

Summary
George and Bertha Russell cannot get divorced.
When his parents drop the massive bomb that they’re splitting up, Larry Russell uproots his life in Boston to move back to New York, because he’s determined to get them to see they belong together. And his plan is foolproof – all he needs is a woman willing to play the part of his fiancée, so his parents will have no choice but to see each other for all kinds of wedding related activities.
Marian Brook had no intention of agreeing to fake marry Larry Russell – at least, not until she runs into her ex boyfriend at her absolute lowest, and blurts out she’s engaged. Now they’re tangled up in each other’s lives, trying to get his parents back together, and convince her ex she’s happy and moved on.
If the lines between real and fake get a bit blurry, it really isn’t their fault, is it?
Larian Modern AU. George/Bertha, Gladys/Hector on the side.

Summary
“Even if Caligula offered his generals an explanation on his war on the sea—” Agnes poisonously eyed the society papers which defamed her niece's good standing and reputation, the latest installment of what was being circulated, and now which she considered as prohibited contraband, before crumpling up in her fist and tossing it straight into the fire where it belonged, “—it still wouldn’t make things right.”
In which Andre’s leaks caused more damage as Marian did not learn of the news that Larry went to the Haymarket on the night of their engagement from John.
She—like the rest of New York—found out from the morning gossip column and it makes all the difference in everyone's lives.

Summary
Once an idea was formed in Bertha's mind, little could she or anyone do to make it go away. So it was really unfortunate that her sister decided to make Bertha question her life's choices on her own birthday no less. She was Bertha O'Brien, handsome, clever and rich. Insanely rich. Her company's worth was around 740 million and it was the largest and most successful matchmaking business on the east coast, second in America. Most important of all, Gilded X gave her satisfaction like nothing else; she was yet to find something that could give her such a fulfilling sensation as a match well done.
Inspired by Jane Austen's Emma.

She thought as much, but far stranger things are about to happen...
