    Summary

    It was a simple prospect — buying a new suit. But Henry had a nasty little habit of turning simple items into complete chores. He always had, blaming it on natural anxiety, coping, and other words gleaned from his patient-if-long-suffering therapist. The core of it was truly a lack of necessity and a lame gesture at thrift.

    “Please,” Pez began between sips of latte. “For the love of all that is good in this world.” He tapped the business card set between them on the cafe table. “Call the gent.”

    Summary

    Henry Fox, a twenty-seven year old stage actor, is finding his footing in the film industry. Cast in a politically-themed mini series, he seeks out Dr. Alexander Claremont-Diaz, a lecturing professor at University of Texas, Austin. What should have been a crash course in US politics transforms into relationship, deeper than either of them expect. When Henry's career begins to take off, attracting unwanted attention to them and Alex's young daughter, they have to decide whether to hold onto each other or navigate the journey alone.

    Summary

    Henry Fox is one of the best footballers in the world. He knows the game inside out, and he is good at it.

    But when he gets injured during a game and is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines, his replacement is less than ideal.

    Alex Claremont-Diaz just wants to play the game he loves, but somehow manages to get tangled in a crazy game of hatred at his new club.

    Tensions are high and threaten to bubble over at any moment.

    Neither man can control what happens next.

    They hate each other…until they don’t.

    Summary

    Something is crackling in the air, and as oblivious as Henry can be, there’s no mistaking the closeness of Alex to him, the dark look in his eyes that are piercing through his very being.
    Or maybe he’s just insanely drunk.
    Because in what other universe would his insanely gorgeous co-worker be looking at him with bedroom eyes, one hand gripping his forearm tightly enough to keep him in place, but not enough to bruise.

    “I think,” Alex says slowly, as though giving Henry a chance to protest, “that we should fuck.”

    “Excuse me?”

    Henry dislikes doing things that he doesn’t excel at, this includes but is not limited to; baking, interior decorating and acting normal around drop-dead gorgeous men who have eyes he can practically dive into and drown in.

    Unfortunately for Henry, his new job involves all three.

    But Alex is straight, clearly, given how he flirts with every woman that comes through the door, which is fine.

    Two can play at this game.
