Sinopse

This novel revolves around Mr. Ernest Bliss, a rich young man of twenty-five. His life revolves around parties and making merry. When his digestion becomes irritated by this way of life, he visits a doctor, Sir James Aldroyd because he feels out of sorts. The physician asked him a series of questions. Bliss informs Sir James he does nothing because he is wealthy and inherited from both his father and uncle.   The doctor tells him that if wishes to enjoy good health, he must completely change his manner of living. The doctor asks him to get a real job. When the doctor refuses to shake his hand, Bliss screams angrily that he could leave that day in an old suit with five pounds in his pocket and make an honest living for a year. If he fails, he promises to pay for the construction of a new hospital. With that, the spoiled young man embarks on an adventure that will never take him outside of London but will expose him to the struggles of ordinary people to survive.

    When the wife of Golden Walter betrays him for another man, he leaves home on a trading voyage to avoid the necessity of a feud with her family. However, his efforts are fruitless, as word comes to him en route that his wife's clan has killed his father. As a storm then carries him to a faraway country, the effect of this news is merely to sunder his last ties to his homeland. Walter comes to the castle of an enchantress, from which he rescues a captive maiden in a harrowing adventure (or rather, she rescues him). They flee through a region inhabited by mini-giants, and eventually reach the city of Stark-wall, whose custom, when the throne is vacant, is to take the next foreigner to arrive as ruler. The late king having died, Walter and his new love are hailed as the new monarchs. The two are married and presumably live happily ever after.

    Life is simple for Gurt. He's a reliable lad who does whatever he's told and keeps secrets. And that's important, because Castle Underberry is full of dirty secrets. 
    He has no history, no family, and no job title. But he's comfortable, well-fed, and very well-entertained, so long as he does whatever odd job needs doing. 
    When Vnix'al Julgia, an important orcish painter, visits the castle, Gurt becomes her personal valet. He's never seen an orc before, but he's heard stories. Stories of orcs kidnapping men and women alike to use them as playthings. Stories of beastly orc women endowed with extra… features. 
    But it can't be that bad. Can it? 
    His job is on the line. He just needs to do what he's told, and give her whatever she wants.

    When Marissa Barrett finds herself in a dangerous situation with her family, she needs help—fast. She's normally the queen of problem-solving, but this is one instance where she just can’t seem to find a solution on her own. All she wanted from her boss was help finding an attorney, but before she knows exactly how it’s happened, they’re standing in front of a justice of the peace. Patrick Donovan would do anything to help Marissa. After all, she’s been helping him run his business for years. He’d be lying if he said he wasn’t wildly attracted to her, but there's no way he would ever act on it. Plus, with his meddling family looking to see him settle down, the last thing he needs is any kind of romantic relationship. But when Marissa turns to him for help, suddenly he sees a solution that benefits them both. One year of marriage. That's the agreement. But everything’s negotiable, right?
