    Summary

    Prince Henry calls a phone sex hotline using a fake name.

    He’s lonely and porn isn’t doing it and sometimes he just wants to be talked to.

    He never expects an American to answer.

    He definitely doesn’t expect an American to ruin him with just his voice, either. And he never imagines that this stranger’s voice would change his life forever.

    Summary

    Prince Henry is somehow both everything and nothing like Alex expected him to be. He looks perfect, even though he is staring at his phone when Alex enters the room and takes a seat far out of the way.
    And then Prince Henry looks up, his eyes darting around as if he has no clue where he is, and lands on Alex’s face. There’s nothing there, though. No curiousness, no interest, no disdain, not a shimmer of any emotion. Prince Henry just looks at him with a blank stare until Mrs Hughes takes it upon herself to introduce Alex.
    “Henry,” the man responds. His eyes widen for a second before his face falls into a closed expression and says: “pleasure,” as if it’s anything but, and looks away.
    Right.
    Rude.

    ---

    Life has been throwing many challenges at Alex. The biggest one so far is becoming a single father. That might change, now that Alex has started a job as a solicitor for His Royal Highness Prince Henry.
    Prince Henry turns out to be different than Alex thought at first, and it doesn’t take long for them to become friends.
    But is that all they can be?

    Summary

    Expectation and preparation are not remotely the same thing.

    That’s the thought that flashes through Henry’s mind when his phone rings, Coach Chen displayed on the screen.

    Henry had been expecting the call ever since hearing that Westbrook was smashed into his own goal at the game against Milwaukee yesterday. But he was in no way prepared for hearing the words in the light of day.

    “You’re getting called up.”

    Summary

    She sends him a link to a Tweet from @espnf1: “Henry Fox, the current runner-up in the driver standings and the son of racing legend Arthur Fox, to leave Windsor. Next year, he will be driving for Ferrari.”

    Alex doesn’t even have the time to process before he’s clicking on the link, going directly to Twitter to find out what the fuck is going on.

    Ferrari’s decided to replace Alex's retiring teammate with Henry Fox. Alex’s fucking nemesis.

    Summary

    "So," Henry says as Alex's brain makes a valiant effort to reboot because he's staring at Henry fucking Fox, the man he has spent the better part of a decade staring at through a small author's photo. It doesn't even begin to do him justice and he's only now fully realising it, "your daughter is a fan of my work?"

    "Huge," Alex chokes out, struggling to not make a fool out of himself. "Dragged me here."

    Henry raises an eyebrow, face utterly amused as he says, "Really? Because I could have sworn I just heard her tell Issa that her 'lame dad' forced her to come here."

    "Huh,”Alex says, "Kids, am I right?"

    Alex's daughter is growing up, a fact he is entirely not okay with.

    She's becoming a teenager, thinks he's the most boring, lamest dude alive and wants nothing to do with the traditions they had while she was growing up - especially reading Henry Fox's books.

    But when Henry Fox begins a reading programme at their local library, she is sat in the front row. Because she wants to be, not because Alex is forcing her. Not because Alex is slightly in love with a man he's never met, the first person to actually see him.

    Obviously.
