    Summary

    Henry stares at his family. Stares and stares and stares as their words settle in his mind and travel down to his heart, then further down over his ribs and over the soft ridge of his stomach to settle on that mark sitting on his hip.

    It doesn't quite make sense, what they’re saying, because his mark has been public knowledge for at least twelve years now, having been leaked by a scumbag journalist, spying on him while he relaxed on a private beach with Pez when he was only twenty.

    He’s all but resigned himself to the belief that his soulmate had decided he didn’t want him. And that’s fair, because he’s a bloody prince and not everyone is willing to subject themselves to that level of scrutiny. It’s fine. Acceptable. Henry’s accepted it and moved on.

    Only.

    Summary

    Sometimes, after particularly rough nights, Henry will switch his first Earl Grey of the day for a latte. Alex learns this a month into knowing him. That’s not the only shock of the discovery, though.

    “Oh my god, how are you real? Who does casual latte art for themselves on a weekday? Before you had coffee?”

    Apparently Henry used to be a barista. Alex pokes at him, tells him it looks easy.

    Henry raises his eyebrows, mouth curved at the corners like it’s guarding a looming laugh. “Would you like to try?”

    A challenge. Alex loves those.

    ***

    Or, five times Alex makes questionable latte art for Henry, and one time they make it right together.

    Summary

    Today, though, he’s watching in delight as a massive bouquet of roses makes its way through the office, the delivery guy carefully weaving between cubicles as he heads for Nora’s desk. Last week, Nora had revealed to the office one of his embarrassing college hook up stories that involved a thong and sitting cold and shivering in a police station while he waited to be picked up. Today—today he’s sicking Nadine and Alberta on Nora as payback.

    His gaze flicks over to Nora where she’s sitting at her desk oblivious to her incoming doom, and then back to the delivery guy. Anticipation, hot and excited, bundles up in Alex’s gut as he clears the final turn of cubicles, and just as Alex is about to grin, wicked and delighted at Nora, the delivery guy makes another turns and comes to a stop at the completely wrong desk.

    And then he sets the flowers down and leaves.

    --

    or, an accidental flower delivery.

    Summary

    When Mountchristen Press buys Waterloo Publishing, Alex’s dream job turns into something of a nightmare. Alex hates his new boss—the Mountchristen family’s youngest son, Henry—and their conservative publishing strategy. And based on the way Henry treats Alex, the feelings are mutual.

    Alex and Henry’s strained working relationship boils over when Henry suddenly faces deportation. Though Alex wants nothing more than to send Henry’s entitled, perfect ass back to England, Henry offers Alex everything he’s been working for so hard—all Alex has to do is marry Henry. What could go wrong?

    It’s the right move, Alex tells himself, but when he and Henry have to spend Thanksgiving in Texas, it turns Alex’s world upside down and leaves him wondering what he really wants.
