    Summary

    “Next up.”

    That’s him. Louis steps forward as he looks around the group. He decides to throw caution to the wind and picks Harry, the curly haired man he can’t help but be drawn to.

    “I’m going to go with Harry.” Louis says confidently.

    Harry gives him a silly wave from his place in line before making his way to stand beside Louis, bringing him into an unexpected hug right away and whispering, “thanks for picking me,” in his ear.

    Louis desperately tries to hide the blush from his face as they let go of each other and try to focus on the rest of the teams.

     

    When Louis signs up for Season 29 of The Amazing Race, he has no idea what is in store. He expected to race around the world for the chance at $1,000,000. But he never once expected to be partnered with someone like Harry.

    Summary

    Louis’ spent eight years in this business and it’s cost him more than he can say. His love life, friendships, family relationships, optimism, trust in people, health, and even his happiness, on occasion.

    He’s always believed those losses to be worth it because this is what he’s good at. Louis is always one step ahead, always outmaneuvering the competition, always playing chess when everyone around him is playing checkers. Not since his first few years in the business has someone made a move that Louis didn’t anticipate well in advance.

    And yet.

    With that question, Senator Vines set a trap. The crowd watching knows it, the senators seated on either side of Senator Vines know it, and Louis, sitting there in his perfectly tailored suit and tie and poker face, also knows it.

    And he just walked right into it.

    Louis is a political lobbyist who chose his career over his personal life a long time ago and has never regretted it. Then he met Harry.

    Summary

    With years of bitter experience and a tuition debt that would outlast three generations, Louis did what anyone in his position would; he developed an almost flawless five-step system for scamming alphas.

    Step One: Find the target. The scummier the alpha, the better.

    Step Two: Find the target’s soulmate mark. This part could take either a day or sometimes months of stalking every single social media the target have. Patience is key.

    Step Three: After learning about their hobbies and activities, mold your personality to the target. There’s nothing more irresistible to alphas than to date their mirror.

    Step Four (and the most important one): Plan the exit route. This will mostly depend on the target. There are alphas who’d pay to make a soulmate disappear from their lives forever, but some took a little more work. The trick? Simple, break their little fantasy. Show them traits they wouldn’t stand. If they like red, suddenly you are all about blue. If they like going out, you start craving nights in. Speak your mind freely—honestly, they hate that. Becoming clingy or basically having any type of need outside theirs also helps a lot.

    Step Five: Disappear.
