    Summary

    Alex has never seen so many shades of green in one place.

    The Welsh countryside rolls out before him, hills rising and falling in gentle waves, dotted with sheep that watch his rented Fiat with mild, unbothered curiosity. He follows the directions he received from the Airbnb host, winding past stone fences and wild hedges, until he reaches the cottage he booked—a storybook place with wisteria in bloom and a garden that looks like it belongs in a fairy tale.

    Or: Alex books an Airbnb in the Welsh countryside.

    Summary

    Alex is spiraling... just a little.
    Henry listens, and somewhere between teasing and tenderness, they end up talking about every girl Alex has ever loved before. Turns out, Henry knows more of the list than Alex thinks. And maybe, just maybe, every one of them left something behind that led them here.

    Summary

    “Come on, handsome,” Henry breathes against Alex’s mouth, pulling him in, backing him against the door, kissing him like he’s been starving for days instead of just since last night. Alex kisses back like he wants to start a fire with his mouth.

    Summary

    The first thing you need to understand is that superstardom is ugly up close. It looks nice from the outside—glamorous, polished, cinematic—but up close, it’s cracked mirror shards and bad lighting. And at the center of all that glare and flash was Alexander Gabriel Claremont-Diaz, age twenty-six, international megastar, chart-topping singer-songwriter, Grammy-winning performer, and the face of three major luxury fashion brands. People used to call him “the Prince of Pop” until they just started calling him “the King.”

    He’d clawed his way to the top. From a two-bedroom house in East Austin to a ten-million-dollar glass fortress in the hills above Los Angeles. From homemade SoundCloud demos and open mic nights at grimy Tex-Mex joints to sold-out stadiums across six continents. He was living the dream.

    Except Alex didn’t sleep anymore. Not really.

    Dear Product of my Loins,

    No. Show up to the blind date or else. It’s with the Chairman of JPMorgan and Chase’s son. Don’t show up and I’ll take your beagle and library away.

    Warmly,
    Chairman Arthur Fox
