    Summary

    “So, polo,” he says, looking Henry up and down. The contrast between their appearances—with Henry in his clean white breeches and pale blue Ariat-branded polo shirt—is stark. “That’s the one that’s like croquet on horseback, right?”

    Henry is so relieved that they’re not dwelling on his accidental come-on that he can’t even be that offended. Alex delivers the barb with that same teasing smirk, and Henry is forced to laugh as he scoffs. “Not exactly.”

    (As a professional polo player, rodeo is a foreign world to Henry. But when his new sponsor organises a photoshoot with a top rodeo star, he finds his life turned upside down by a bronco rider with big brown eyes and dark curls. Surely this won't become a problem...)

    Summary

    “What’s your name?” he asks Henry and then comes to stand in front of him, stopping Henry in his tracks.

    “If I tell you, will you leave me alone to do my job?”

    Alex purses his lips, looks up, and crosses his arms over his chest. Then he shakes his head. “No, but,” and he emphasises the ‘T’, “at the very least I can bee polite about it.”

    Henry visibly cringes. “Oh, for the love of everything holy, don’t start with the bee puns. I can guarantee I’ve heard every single one in the history of ever and they are all awful.”

    Alex hums. “That’s beecause you haven’t heard mine.”

    or, Henry is a beekeeper watching his nieces for the summer and Alex has a swarm on his truck that needs to be removed. And that's just the BEEginning of this story with too many bee puns to count.

    Summary

    August, 1890. South Texas bounty hunter, Alex Claremont-Diaz has just received the most lucrative lead of his career: all he's gotta do is track down an English prince who's run off and left behind a jilted fiancée, and he'll be set for the rest of his life. Ain’t the first time Alex has been sent after a feller who’s gotten cold feet. And $25,000 for a royal runaway groom? Should be easy money.

    Summary

    “Alright sweetheart, we’re going to get you taken care of, okay?”

    Henry was thankful his back was to the patient. It gave him a moment to close his eyes, to take a deep, calming breath. He was no use to this person if he wasn’t in control of himself. One more steadying breath as he snapped on his gloves, and he turned to face the bed.

    He wished that it was different. That a man this strong, strong enough to be awake through such disaster, could live.

    But Alex had called him “sweetheart”. And every single doctor and nurse in that bay knew what it meant when the best trauma surgeon in the state put on that soothing voice and called a patient “sweetheart”.

    OR

    3 times Alex called a patient "sweetheart" and 1 time someone called Alex "sweetheart"
