Summary
Prince Henry represents everything Alex Claremont-Diaz hates about the wealthy and privileged. While every news outlet in the country is obsessively reporting on Henry’s abdication and subsequent move to the U.S. to attend a PhD program, Alex just wishes he could have a single day when he’s not reminded of the guy's stupid face. Except he won’t stop coming into the coffee shop where Alex works.
Still reeling from the public and private backlash on his decision to leave England, all Henry wants is to keep his head down and get through the semester. But when Alex comes barreling headfirst into his life—bright, brash, an embodiment of all the things he cannot have—Henry finds himself entirely unable to keep away.

Summary
They haven’t seen one another since they exchanged a whispered argument about profiteroles at some fancy dinner over a year ago, when—to the rest of the world, at least—Henry was a straight man living in Kensington Palace and Alex was a straight woman living in the White House. And now… a gay man and a bisexual trans man meet in Texas.
Henry’s whole face scrunches up as his frown deepens and turns more sad than confused. “I really wish you would just—”
Alex sighs and rolls his eyes. “Will you give up already? I can deal with him.”
“Christ, I’m not saying you can’t,” Henry says exasperatedly, “I’m saying you don’t have to. You carry so much, Alex. I’m simply trying to help you lighten the load in any infinitesimal way you’ll let me.”
“And having a guy you hate move in with you is somehow only an infinitesimal inconvenience to you?”
Henry gives Alex a tired, cold look and clenches his jaw. “If it gets you away from your transphobic roommate,” he says, low but vehement, “then yes. Christ, Alex, you’re not a bloody inconvenience.”Or: Henry learns how to cook, and Alex learns to let people take care of him.

Henry breaks the news that he is set to be married as he tells Alex it's over between them. Alex leaves without telling Henry the most important news of his life.
Meanwhile, Alex lays low during the final stages of his mothers campaign in hopes of not ruining her chances of winning with his big news, that's sure to turn some heads once it goes public.

Summary
After Henry stole the Atkins case from Alex, there’s no way Alex can ever forgive him. Ever. Henry is enemy no. 1, persona non grata. There’s absolutely no way that Henry and his quiet smiles, with his almost offensive politeness and his stupid accent and his stupid perfect hair can make up for this.
Or can he?
