Summary
Saint-Vitus High is cursed, even if the town refuses to admit it. When John Winchester goes undercover to investigate a string of unexplained accidents linked to the school, Sam and Dean are forced to blend in with the student body. Dean is quickly pulled into the orbit of the school’s elite. Privileged, powerful, and very clearly hiding something.
To earn their trust, Dean agrees to a bet he never should have touched: make the outcast Castiel Novak fall in love with him. What starts as a lie turns frighteningly real. As the supernatural presence surrounding Saint-Hubris grows stronger and Castiel becomes the next target, Dean is forced to choose between loyalty, survival, and the boy he never wanted to hurt.
Almost ten years later, the past refuses to stay buried.
Drawn back to the outskirts of Pontiac on a hunt, Sam and Dean come face to face with the consequences of what they left behind.

Summary
Dean Winchester owns Lebanon Grove’s favorite bakery, The Slice of Heaven, known for its legendary pies and cozy charm. When murder disrupts the sleepy town’s peace, Dean can’t help but put down his rolling pin and start asking questions, much to the irritation (and secret admiration) of Castiel Novak, the town’s stern new detective.
Soon Dean and Castiel are grudgingly teaming up to unravel mysteries, dodge danger, and navigate a growing attraction they can’t deny. Alongside Dean’s lawyer brother Sam and nosy journalist Gabriel Novak, the group must uncover the town’s secrets before another body is found.
Mix one part murder, two parts romance, and just a pinch of humor, then bake until golden brown. Serve hot, with a generous side of supernatural charm.

Summary
Dean’s entire life has been a string of bad luck: some because he’s suffered the consequences of drug kingpin John Winchester’s terrible decision-making, some because he seems to have inherited the trait. After being attacked in an alley, Dean is saved by a mysterious man in a trench coat. Castiel turns out to be a cop determined to arrest two key players in Chicago's illegal drug game; a corrupt politician, and a murderous drug dealer with a dark connection to Dean. He offers Dean an opportunity to turn his life around, in exchange for helping Cas gain access to these people. Their cover story? Castiel, or rather, 'Jimmy', is Dean’s new boyfriend.

Summary
Sam is missing, and the only person that Dean can think to run to—halfway across the country—is Castiel, a detective now employed by the Los Angeles Police Department.

Dean heads to Los Angeles on a hunch, hoping that Castiel can use his connections to find where Sam might be—only, the rot runs deep within the department, and what starts off as a garden variety break-in turns out to be something that if provoked, could get both Dean and Castiel killed, and end with Sam becoming the head of an organization neither of them knew existed.
But, how can Dean stop what feels inevitable before it even begins?
