    Summary

    The jet engines are rumbling soothingly, but Henry’s mind is a tumult of questions.
    He understands now why former US president Ellen Claremont wanted a non-American to author her memoir. But why him — a mildly-depressed poet just out of Oxford?
    Will the tenuous peace hold between himself and her beautiful but volatile son? Things started off so very, very badly.
    And, perhaps most intriguing of all…he looks across the aisle at Ellen’s fresh-faced assistant and her breathtaking bodyguard: Is ANYONE on this bloody team straight?

    Summary

    Alex Claremont-Diaz has been a mediocre right-winger for Chelsea FC for four years. His lack of playtime, only exacerbated by a recent injury, gets him sent on a temporary loan to Arsenal, the home of his enemy, and star striker, Henry Fox. For years, the two have not gotten along, but they play so well together on the field. Clearly, there’s chemistry here…

    Summary

    As the car stops in an alley behind the Justice Center, home to the Marriage License Bureau, Alex reaches over to take Henry’s hand, squeezing it gently. "Are you sure you want to do this?" he asks, his voice quieter than usual, the weight of his question pressing down on him. "I don’t want you to feel like you’re being pushed into anything, not again."

    or;

    It’s been nearly two years since Alex left Kensington Palace with a shattered heart and a resolve to move on. He’s done his best to forget Henry, and a wild weekend in Vegas for Liam’s birthday seems like the perfect distraction. That is, until Henry shows up in Vegas too, and suddenly, getting married feels like the right thing to do...

    Summary

    When Alex discovers that Henry's Christmas plans involve staying in their apartment alone, he does what any good roommate would do and drags Henry along to his family Christmas at the lake house. It's a win-win situation, since everything is better for Alex when Henry is around. Henry is his person. Completely fucking platonically, of course.

    Summary

    The man looks like he’s wandered straight off the set of a medical TV drama—collected demeanor, perfect blond hair, with just a hint of exhaustion around his eyes. He glances at his clipboard, then looks up.

    “Mr. Claremont-Diaz?” He asks, British accent softened but unmistakable.

    Instinctively, he nestles Amélia a little closer to his chest. “That’s me.”
