    Summary

    Through bribery and a string of bad luck, Simon ended his school semester with nothing to do except an invitation to spend the summer on a yacht with Sara’s culinary school boyfriend, a small crew of upper echelons Swedish strangers, and a very hot boy Simon has (accidentally) seen naked.

    Or: the Mediterranean Yacht AU

    Summary

    The Ulfssons, renowned owners of a multibillion kronor company, are practically modern royalty. Sergeant Detective Simon Eriksson is the only one who sees them for what they truly are: dirty criminals. But with the family’s sparkling reputation, Simon has never had any grounds to investigate further. Until now.

    When the disgraced son Wilhelm Ulfsson suddenly resurfaces as the new CEO, and a mysterious envelope appears on Simon’s doorstep implicating the company in a fraud scandal, Simon finally has what he needs to infiltrate and expose the truth.

    Wilhelm and Simon are on two sides of a war on drugs and corruption and greed. And yet, they just can’t seem to stay away from each other.

    Summary

    Simon is an up-and-coming singer, just starting to make it big. Wilhelm just tries to get through the tedious days filled with college and tedious court duties as best as he can, vowing that if he has to be prince, he at least can try and change things.

    Seven years after the infamous video, and four years after they broke up, Simon and Wilhelm bump into each other in the streets of Stockholm. A happy reunion for one, a cold and hard wake-up call for the other.
    Then Simon's manager comes up with the perfect plan to give Simon's music and his career right before his newest album drops: pretend to be friends again with none other than a certain crown prince...
