    Summary

    Never fall in love with your employer.

    In Henry's defense, his boss is Alex Claremont-Diaz—loud, ambitious, allergic to British restraint, and apparently determined to make Henry’s life an absolute disaster.

    This was supposed to be simple: Henry helps Alex survive London society, Alex pays Henry enough to keep him afloat, and nobody asks inconvenient questions. Unfortunately, things get complicated when Henry is terrible at being a butler, Alex is impossible to manage, and neither of them is particularly good at not falling in love.

    When your employer is Alex Claremont-Diaz, you get used to the exceptions.

    Summary

    Daniel had been a person who drew others without trying, a happy and loyal friend who never let anyone down, his presence could lighten any situation. Yet, not all of his choices were wise.
    It began with a small job, quick and easy money, no questions asked. Lando, his boyfriend, urged him to walk away. Seb, his best friend, tried to stop him, but Daniel was stubborn, convinced to be in control.
    …until he paid for it with his life.
    Everyone who knew him mourned; they cried the loss of a good man. Because he was good, he just trusted the wrong world. Seb’s older brother, Nico, did not mourn. He burned with anger that refused to fade.
    Agry at Daniel for ignoring the inevitable. Angry at Lando and Seb for bringing him into their lives… into Max’s life.
    More than anything, Nico was furious at the alphas controlling the city, who thought themselves to be untouchable because of their money and power. They took lives, traded drugs, spread terror and believed they could have anything without consequence.
    …they were wrong. The five families wouldn’t see it coming, wouldn’t know what was tearing them apart until it was too late. Nico did not care how long it would take, he would bring down their empire…

    BREAKING NEWS: Crash halts Miami Grand Prix as race is red-flagged

    At 184 miles per hour, Max Verstappen's car hits the barrier and his world goes dark. The crash report later records a peak of 380G—higher than any documented survivable incident in motorsport history, and higher than anyone should be able to walk away from.

    While the FIA asks questions and the media chases headlines, Charles Leclerc occupies a plastic chair in a hospital waiting room that he refuses to leave. He and Max were never supposed to be anything more than rivals who fell into bed together, but as the hours stretch into days and Max remains unconscious, Charles is forced to confront what he's been avoiding for a year: this stopped being casual a long time ago, and the only question left is whether Max will wake up to hear him admit it.

    (Or: The crash heard around the world.)

    Summary

    Shane Hollander—omega, prince, and future ruler of Canada—is about to face the most terrifying day of his life: meeting the alpha his family has chosen for him. Traditions his family doesn't follow demand obedience, silence, and perfection—but it doesn’t account for the Russian general with piercing blue eyes, golden curls, and a way of touching Shane as if he already belongs to him.

    ------------------------

    “I’m Shane by the way.”

    “Shane.”

    “My friends call me Rozy.”

    “What kind of a name is Rozy?”

    “One you won’t forget.”

    “Oh.”

    Summary

    In 2015, when Max first joined F1 as a fresh-faced rookie, the pack shut him out because of the wrongness and temperament that existed on him like a second skin. In 2025, Max has mellowed out and the pack, specifically the rookies, begin coming to him. Whether they are tired, angry, hurting, or unsure, Max never says no. He doesn’t weigh the risks of involving himself with a pack that doesn't claim him; he only registers that someone needs something, and that he knows how to give.

    Layered on that, Max has a secret that the pack doesn’t know nor understand but they begin to circle it. It lives in the way he goes still when certain voices drop, in how his eyes glaze when someone gets too close, in how he never asks for anything and how every so often he'll disappear and return as a ghost.

    OR: The 2025 rookies get attached to Max very quickly, pulling him into grid pack dynamics. Unfortunately, Max was cut from the pack in 2015 by Lewis and he still doesn't accept him. Now that Max is getting closer again, the grid is starting to notice something is very wrong with him.
