A royal coming out needs a professional touch. When rebellious Leo, an ex-Etonian with a dark past, crashes into Prince Joshua's pristine world, it's safe to say the monarchy won't ever be the same. Meet Leo: a societal outcast, ousted from nobility, whose past has seen London's grimy alleys and the company of its undesirables. Now part of an elite crew-rescuing high-profile figures from scandal-he's the last person one would expect inside the lavish halls of Buckingham Palace. Enter Prince Joshua: silver-spooned royalty with a secret that could damage a kingdom. When a blackmailer threatens to expose Joshua's sexuality, Leo's team swoops in, bringing him and the prince face to face. Their first encounter? Contentious. But there's an undeniable spark-a raw honesty that draws Joshua in. As their worlds merge, secrets unravel, including one that links their pasts in the corridors of Eton. But amidst the banter, the challenges of royalty weigh heavy on Joshua. Leo, with his cheeky bravado, might just be the jolt Joshua needs, especially when coming out to a nation. However, when passion turns to potential love, Leo's own demons rear their head. Can a former hooker ever stand by the side of a prince? Expect fast-paced dialogue, unexpected laughs, and a tale that balances the light-hearted with the profound. Perfect for fans of contemporary MM romances that delve deep while keeping you hooked with charm.____________From verified Amazon reviews: "What a joy to read!

Love's pas de deux isn't always on pointe. Lucas Clarke is fine. Sure, he isn't exactly dancing on world-renowned stages as he once planned, but he made his choice, and there are far worse places than his hometown of Brighton. It's all good-until his small contemporary troupe loses its sponsor and in waltzes Max Fina, best mate of Lucas's older brother and Britain's hottest export since Harry Styles. Max's plan? Throw some money, pose for a quick photo, and prove that he hasn't forgotten his roots. Saving the dance troupe is meant to be a blip on his radar. That's until he sees Lucas dance-no longer the cute kid running after his brother and Max, but a young man comfortable in his body and magnetic on stage. When Max invites Lucas to dance on his world tour, he expects an easy yes. Instead, Lucas laughs in his face. What Lucas doesn't know? Max is used to getting what he wants. What Max doesn't know? Four years ago, Lucas was in love with him, and he has no intention of making that mistake again. This slow-burn gay romance features fast-paced banter, second chances, and globe-trotting adventures. It's a friends-to-lovers rollercoaster fuelled by messy feelings and out-of-sync mutual pining, by emotional detours, brilliant ascents and angsty drops-with a hard-won happily ever after as its ultimate destination. So grab your front-row seat for this whirlwind waltz where love insists on having the final bow! *(Mini warning: The course of true love never did run smooth, and both MCs date other people-no cheating!-as they stumble towards their happily ever after.)
