    Summary

    “Oxford, like twenty years ago—” Twenty-one, actually. “I was there for a term abroad. We had a class together.” Alex huffs a disbelieving laugh and pushes a hand back through his curls. “We, uh, well. There was that party after final exams…”

    “I’m so sorry, I don’t recall that one” Henry lies, flashing an apologetic smile. “I don’t remember the details of most of those uni parties these days.”

    (Twenty years ago, Henry met—and let go of—his soulmate. Now he's in his 40s, with a new job in a new city, and certainly not expecting said soulmate to come barreling into his life again. A small white lie seems like the simplest way to keep things from getting awkward, but real life has a way of getting complicated.)

    Summary

    “My abuela always said. ‘You like because, and you love despite.’ You like someone because of all of their qualities, and you love someone despite some of their qualities.”

    There’s a beat of silence. A heavy pause. “So what does that mean?”

    “You know what it means, sweetheart.”

    Percy and Nora are tired of their bosses being miserable and decide to do what any sane overworked assistants would do - set their bosses up.

    Luckily for them, their bosses’ secret history is about to make this a lot easier.

    Summary

    Prince Henry represents everything Alex Claremont-Diaz hates about the wealthy and privileged. While every news outlet in the country is obsessively reporting on Henry’s abdication and subsequent move to the U.S. to attend a PhD program, Alex just wishes he could have a single day when he’s not reminded of the guy's stupid face. Except he won’t stop coming into the coffee shop where Alex works.

    Still reeling from the public and private backlash on his decision to leave England, all Henry wants is to keep his head down and get through the semester. But when Alex comes barreling headfirst into his life—bright, brash, an embodiment of all the things he cannot have—Henry finds himself entirely unable to keep away.
