    Summary

    Congressman Alex Claremont-Diaz rebuilt his life once already—after his royal marriage ended in scandal. Now, ten years later, duty drags him back to London for the royal wedding of his ex-husband. With cameras watching and old scars burning, Alex braces for diplomatic handshakes, and plans to get out fast.

    But standing between the gold thrones and empty crowns is Prince Henry—no longer the quiet teenage boy Alex knows. Will he survive history repeating itself—or dare to rewrite it?

    Summary

    Smell is an interesting thing, as far as senses go. He learned in undergrad anatomy that it’s actually responsible in part for encoding memory, and it’s a powerful trigger for it. Alex has experienced this plenty of times; his mother’s perfume reminding him of their years in Texas, his father’s cigars. This time, with the smell of this room, Alex is hit square in the chest with the memory of short blonde strands of hair sliding between his fingers, a perfect mouth opening against his own, a smooth accent curving a dulcet voice that whispers into his ear. Alex is spinning suddenly, as though he’s in midair and falling, and the nostalgic feeling in his chest is replaced with something far more intense and less pleasant. Alex steps backwards suddenly out of the room and slams the door shut, his breath shuddering and fast, and he rakes his hands through his dark curls as he storms off down the hallway.

    Alexander Claremont-Diaz returns to the White House the first day of his presidency, intent on carving a new future for America and laying the ghosts of the previous administration to rest. He stumbles on a ghost of his own, one that's never quite stopped haunting him since the summer of his mother's second campaign.

    Summary

    Living at sea has never been Alex’s idea of a good time.

    But then again, coming home to an absent father and a work-driven mother when he was barely pushing 14 had changed every single thing he’d ever believed until then, and it’s no surprise to see that his life has escaped him a little in the last few years–to say the least.

    Growing up, Alex had always wanted to do big things. Being a castaway on a desert island was never one of them.

    Summary

    He dials the number and puts the phone to his ear, nibbling on his lower lip as it rings steadily.

    “Alex here, how can I help?”

    Henry freezes, the phone still pressed to his ear at the familiar voice.

    “Uh…hello? Anyone there?”

    Henry’s hands shake as he hangs up the phone, tossing it into the dirt beside his parsnip seed. All he can think of as he stares at the darkened screen a few feet away is - stupid bloody tank top.

    Henry doesn't expect much when his grandmother dies; perhaps her cabin in Vail or her collection of antique teacups that he always had his eye on. Instead, he finds himself the sole owner of his late grandfather's farm, hidden away in a small town in the middle of nowhere.

    Determined to make something of himself, he decides to settle down there, do up his grandfather's house and do something with his life rather than just hide away like he always has.

    He will keep his head down, not make waves, and get the job done.

    A very sexy handyman is determined to make this very difficult.

    Summary

    Alexander Claremont-Diaz was twenty-eight years old when a car crash took his life.

    The entire world grieved, and the entire world remembered.

    But for some people, it wasn’t just a figurehead that died. It was a friend, a brother, a son. A husband. And remembering all of Alex was a hell of a task to undertake.

    ——

    Or, how six people in Alex’s life work through his death.
