    Summary

    Stede sells soap. Ed sells soup. Their adjacent holiday market booths give them a chance to become fast friends. A sudden emergency has Ed offering a wild solution—a quick sham marriage to allow Stede to keep accessing his much-needed medication.

    Ed’s never planned to get married. Stede never wants to be married again. It’s an easy choice, as long as no one’s heart gets involved.

    Summary

    Ed and Stede meet as strangers one night on a New York subway platform when Stede discovers an abandoned newborn baby. Both men are instantly infatuated with him (and each other). When they attend the court hearing for his case, the judge spontaneously decides to offer Stede custody, which he accepts– only to realize afterwards that she assumed they were a couple.

    The two men immediately craft a plan to pretend to be together in order to keep the baby, creating fake backstories, coaching their friends, and moving in together... into the same bedroom... and the same bed. But what they didn't anticipate was falling head over heels in love, not only with their son, but with each other.

    Inspired by the TRUE STORY outlined in this article

    Summary

    “Marriage, that sublime union that transcends mere mortal bonds. A union adorned with ineffable sanctity; a sacred covenant, a celestial dance, where two souls intertwine to create a harmonious symphony that resonates through the annals of time. Marriage, the pinnacle of love for most men; for others, an inescapable fate…”

    Stede Bonnet is about to marry a woman, but then he meets Edward Teach, the wedding planner, and things take an unexpected turn.

    Summary

    Stede meets new neighbour Ed on an ordinary afternoon when he has to take a wrongly delivered package next door. By the end of the day, he'll be a changed man. By the end of the month, he'll hardly recognise his life.

    ~

    Ed moved into his new place after a nasty breakup, and the guy next door turns out to make it all worthwhile, once he figures himself out. But even if he keeps coming back, he always leaves Ed's place and goes back to his wife, and Ed's so tired of being second best.

    This time, he's willing to play dirty to get what he wants.
