    Summary

    Alex is hurting him, he knows he is. He knows Henry has real feelings for him and Alex feels like the scum of the Earth. The way Henry looks at him – like he can’t believe Alex is real. Alex knows he doesn’t deserve that look, yet he can’t help but feel warm from head to toe every time he is on the receiving end of it.

    He has to do better. He will.

    Summary

    Hunter was pretty. He had a strong jaw and soft skin and broad shoulders that Alex used to fawn over, used to be utterly enamoured by.

    He was gorgeous and he was Alex’s boyfriend.

    But he wasn’t Henry.

    OR

    Hunter had been Cheating on Alex for months and he's so tired of pretending he doesn't notice. Besides, Alex isn't all that broken up about it... especially not with Henry in his lap.

    Summary

    Alex has conquered many things in his life: a childhood split down the middle between Texas and California; nascent queerness in the red state, a thick drawl in the blue one; Georgetown admissions; Yale; the Bar; four whole months in Big Law and the realization that it would kill him by twenty-seven; a massive career change at twenty-eight; marriage; kids.

    He’s never been one to back down from a challenge. It’s not like he’s going to start now. The only problem is that he may have finally met his match in the Milton-Saylor Academy Mom Squad.

    Or: Alex is going to win over the moms at his son’s bougie private school if it’s the last goddamned thing he does.

    Or: 5+1 notable years in Arthur Claremont Fox-Diaz’s life.

    (A standalone sequel to "It's Not a Secret")
