    Summary

    “You don’t have a single callus,” Alex muttered, almost to himself. “Jesus.”
    Henry flushed, pink blooming at the base of his throat.
    He let Henry’s hands drop. As he took a step back, he caught a faint whiff of a scent. Not sweat or dust, but something gentler. Grass and breeze-dried linen.
    “We don’t need another stray dog,” Alex said, tossing a look at Nora.
    “That what we’re calling cute British guys now?” she asked, smug as hell.
    “We don’t need more workers. We don’t have the budget.”
    “You work yourself to the bone,” Nora pressed. “You could use another pair of hands.”
    Before Alex could bark out something defensive, Henry spoke.
    “I’m stronger than I look.”
    "We'll see about that"

    or: Alex works in his family old ranch. One day a cute blond guy comes asking for a job. He agrees reluctantly.

    Summary

    “I think it should be a thousand kisses.”

    Pez gasps, eyes wide with delight as he places a hand over his heart. “A thousand?”

    Alex’s throat is dry. “A thousand.”

    Now?” Henry looks terrified. “Or…”

    “Within…” Nora glances at June, and Alex is abso-fucking-lutely going to give her shit for her acting later. “A month?”

    June nods in agreement. “I think that sounds reasonable.”

    Nora clicks her tongue. “If we go by 31 days, that’s 32.26 kisses per day. I think it’s doable, but still a challenge. Perfect for the game.”

    “I’ve never experienced a dare that goes outside of the typical gaming period,” Henry says, his shoulder bumping into Alex’s as he curls a knee up to his chest. “How would we even keep track of such a thing?”

    Nora directs a devilish, sideways grin at Alex, and the realization hits him like a goddamn freight train.

    Henry didn’t say no.

    Summary

    When Alex lands a job house-sitting for an international man of mystery, he’s more than a little intrigued. According to Nora, the owner of the Brooklyn brownstone is a spy. According to June, he’s a prince. Alex is convinced his employer is a fifty-year-old man who loves tartan and ugly, porcelain homewares.

    Also, Alex might be flirting with his boss via a handwritten grocery list. Just a little bit.

    Summary

    Alex peers up at Henry’s face, the familiar tenseness in his jaw and mildly disinterested eyes nowhere to be seen. Instead, Henry’s expression is open and borderline delighted, like Brie used an extra strong shot of sorcery to draw Henry in and melt the ice that he usually stays locked behind.

    Suddenly, Alex’s vague crush on an unapproachable coworker feels realer, all because he’s standing there and looking at Alex’s daughter like she hung the fucking moon. He’s treating the most important person in Alex’s life—his entire goddamn heart—as if she truly matters to him, giving her fist bumps and smiling at her and telling her she’s beautiful like her dad.

    It’s doing weird things to Alex’s chest and making his palms sweat even in the air conditioned office, and he can’t decide if he’s okay with that development or if he wants to stick his head in Brie’s Easy-Bake oven.
