    Summary

    Alex Claremont-Diaz is smart, ambitious, and stuck working under the coldest senior partner at the firm—Henry Fox, who never smiles and only ever calls him Alexander. But beneath the perfectly tailored suits and clipped emails, Henry is barely holding back feelings he’s tried to bury for years.

    Workplace banter turns into after-hours tension, and one drunken confession might unravel everything.

    Or: Alex thinks his boss hates him. His boss is desperately in love with him.

    Summary

    It starts, like so many things in Alex’s life, with a list.

    A list, a prince, an NDA, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and a night better than any of the fantasies that preceded it. No consequences. That was the whole point.

    Except, like so many things in Alex’s life, it isn’t that simple.

    Illicit rendezvous, heartfelt phone calls, transatlantic flights, nights that change them… and a morning that changes everything.

    And that’s just how it starts.

    Summary

    Someone clears their throat behind him, and he spins around, hands still gripping the hem of his shirt. “Sorry, hi, I – shit,” he stammers as he takes in Princess Beatrice’s friendly expression and her brother’s more taciturn one. “Sorry, shit. God, sorry. Uh, hello, um… Your, uh, Maj—”

    “It’s Your Royal Highness, but please, no titles here,” Princess Beatrice graciously says, saving Alex from himself. “Call me Bea. It looks like we’re teammates! Hen, too.” She nudges her elbow into her brother’s ribs, and he nods wordlessly.

    Alex tries to replicate his mom’s politician smile as well as he can. “It’s an honor,” he says, giving them the little bow drilled into his brain before he and his mom had departed for London, through repetitive How to avoid being deported by the English monarchy lessons. “I’m Alex Claremont-Diaz.”

    (Or, Alex and Henry meet at a youth charity event as teens.)
