    Summary

    "What on earth is a jalopy?" Pez says, looking delighted and intrigued. "It sounds like some kind of jam tart."

    "It's just a term for a shitty car," Nora says helpfully, and Pez looks mildly put out for all of a millisecond before he perks up again.

    "Car trouble, eh? I know a chap."

    Alex owns a bakery. Henry owns a garage. The twain sure shall meet.

    Summary

    Alex laughed and stuck out his hand. "Alex."
    The guy looked at him for a moment — and then something shifted at the corner of his mouth. A soft smile
    "Henry," he said, and shook it.

    Or

    Alex will do anything to keep Henry.

    Summary

    Alex nods. “I get that.” He pauses. “You know you can talk to me if you need to, right? If things aren’t great.”

    Henry’s face softens, his shoulders relaxing a bit. “I know,” he murmurs. “Thanks.”

    He turns back to the television, and Alex forces himself to do the same. He tears his gaze away from Henry’s profile and focuses on their Star Wars marathon again, refusing to acknowledge how cuddly Henry looks in soft pajamas and fuzzy, mismatched socks. Alex’s heart leaps in his chest anyway.

    He knew having a crush on his roommate would be confusing, frustrating, and borderline heartbreaking. None of that stopped him.

    Summary

    Never fall in love with your employer.

    In Henry's defense, his boss is Alex Claremont-Diaz—loud, ambitious, allergic to British restraint, and apparently determined to make Henry’s life an absolute disaster.

    This was supposed to be simple: Henry helps Alex survive London society, Alex pays Henry enough to keep him afloat, and nobody asks inconvenient questions. Unfortunately, things get complicated when Henry is terrible at being a butler, Alex is impossible to manage, and neither of them is particularly good at not falling in love.

    When your employer is Alex Claremont-Diaz, you get used to the exceptions.

    Summary

    Alex runs into Henry in Central Park three years after Henry broke his heart and disappeared from his life.
    Henry is barely recognizable—thinner, sicker, bald beneath a summer beanie, and on his way to another round of chemotherapy after spending more than a year battling neuroblastoma alone.
    Some things are too broken to fix. Some apologies come too late.
    But no one should have to face cancer alone.
