As a descendant of the Chinese god of medicine, Elle was destined to be a doctor. Instead, she’s underemployed as a magical calligrapher at the fairy temp agency. She and her older brother are in hiding from their younger brother, who seeks their deaths to gain their god’s favor. Safety means an order of invisibility with a side of no attachments at the No Fun Allowed store. Elle only relaxes around her client Luc, to whom she’s gotten attached. Oops.

Half-elf Luc, the agency's top security expert, is chained to his job. Retaining his free-will involves unrelenting excellence, overtime, and no relationships, especially not with an overqualified calligrapher connected to his latest investigation.

When her skills accidentally save his life, he brings her a gift and a commission that should catapult her into fame. Double oops.

Elle will do one job, in secret, then cut him off. Except she hasn’t counted on their chemistry, which blooms into a relationship complete with bad puns, dick jokes, and long…nights. Happiness, for once, is an option. But Elle is loyal to her family above all, and Luc, soul-bound to the agency, can never leave.

When Elle's younger brother attacks, she must choose: flee, losing Luc but saving her big brother, or fight, risking it all for her happily ever after.
