    Summary

    After a few years of living together in New York Alex and Henry's lives are going great, but Queen Mary is an ever looming shadow. When she summons Henry back to England for apology tour for a comment he makes on a podcast, Henry and Alex realize something needs to change. Before they can make that change, though, Henry's plane home from the apology tour crashes in the Canadian wilderness, killing all on board.

    Or so Alex is lead to believe. Trapped in his grief, he flees back home to Texas to try and start over. And over. And over. He finally settles in a small town at a small lawfirm, but it isn't until he joins the local volunteer fire department that his life starts to finally turn back around.

    Only Henry isn't dead. In an attempt to both smother his "corrupting influence" but still protect the line of succession until Philip has kids, Mary has had him squirreled away deep in the Australian outback.

    And, well, it's amazing how often the outback burns, isn't it? Sometimes, it burns so bad, they need help from international firefighters...

    Summary

    Henry knows that Ellen can’t capitulate to demands, that she can’t give these people anything except maybe a life in prison. That one terrifying thought works it’s way to the front of Henry’s brain. The longer it takes them to find Alex, the higher the possibility will be that they’re finding a body.

    There's a secret service agent lying dead in an alley outside a Manhattan City bar, and Alexander Claremont-Diaz is nowhere to be found

    Summary

    “It doesn't bother you that I'm twice your age?” Tommy was still surprised he'd gotten this far with Evan already.

    “It's not like it's a surprise, it was on your profile.” Evan shrugged. “Besides,” Evan lowered his voice and leaned in a little. “You're supposed to be my sugar daddy right?”

    This kid was gonna be the death of Tommy, he was sure. And if this was how he went? Well, what a way to go.
    ---
    54 year old Tommy Kinard is content with his lavender marriage until he decides he wants some non-romantic, exclusive fun and he's happy to pay for it. 27 year old Evan "Buck" Buckley is happy with his position as a probationary firefighter, but it doesn't quite pay enough to get him out of the frat-house. He figures it's not the meaningless sex he's trying to stay away from if it's exclusive and he's getting paid for it. Sugaring seems to be the perfect solution for both of them. Neither expected to fall in love along the way.
