    Summary

    As he stared at the grand edifice of the palace, Henry felt his stomach flop. He’d taken quite the gamble, uprooting their lives for this. But if he was honest, he felt stale back in England, every day the same routine. He could feel it chipping away at him little by little, and truthfully, he’d been willing to accept that. But when this offer came along, and his son had begged for him to take it, he saw something in Louis he hadn't seen in the two years since his mother had died: joy.

    So there they were. In Madrid. About to meet the king of Spain.

    It was fine.

    Henry was fine.

    Summary

    When Alex fails to qualify for the 2022 Winter Olympics, it’s all too easy to blame Henry Fox, the dual citizen who’d switched from Team GB to Team USA and snagged the last spot for men’s figure skating. After Alex is abruptly thrown back into the games, he forms an unexpectedly deep connection with Henry. But no athlete who aims for the top of the podium can afford any serious distractions. Will Alex be able to keep his flaring emotions in check and take home the Olympic gold medal he’s always aimed for?

    Summary

    On any other day, a suggestion that Henry is not the cold, stiff alpha from a line of legacy breeding so long he could probably trace it back to some British royal would bring Alex up short.

    But right now, he’s trying not to get a boner thirty minutes before he needs to give a speech to a bunch of college Democrats about why they should be putting their support behind Rafael Luna as the next democratic candidate for the presidency.

    So, he has other things to think about.

    Alex has an unexpected heat in the middle of the campaign, and turns to an unlikely person for help.
