Prince Pact

Being a prince may seem like a fairytale, but to me, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. That’s why I’m excited when I get permission from my uncle—the king of Norway—to go undercover as a student at an American college for a year. And I’m even more ecstatic to be selected for their football team. Soccer, I mean. The only problem? Farron, the team captain, dislikes me on sight. Determined to win him over, I start a charm offensive, but nothing works. He only hates me more.

After a scandal, starting college in Massachusetts is my fresh start. With an ocean between me and the palace in The Netherlands, this is the chance to be just Floris instead of the first openly gay prince in Europe. College life in America appeals to me…including my roommate, Orson. He’s cute as a bug in an adorkable way, but also serious and focused, his head permanently in a book. But behind his glasses, there is a sparkle in his gorgeous eyes, and I want to get to know him.

Coaching college hockey was supposed to be a fresh start for the next year anyway. Then I meet Adan. Talented. Fiercely competitive. And somehow, despite every rule and reason not to, I can't stop wanting him. He's not much younger than me, but I'm assigned to work one-on-one with him. I'm technically his coach, and I'm supposed to be the line he doesn't cross. But then we kiss and everything blurs. For Adan, it's a first. His first time with a man. His first time questioning everything he thought he knew about himself.

I'm Prince Gregory of Great Britain, fourth in line to a crown I never wanted. All I ask for is one year of anonymity at college in America, the chance to breathe without the weight of duty crushing my chest. That's how Bash enters my life. My bodyguard. Our relationship is strictly professional; we blend in together at college, but forced proximity has other ideas. Bash needs this job to pay for his mum's medical bills. I need him to guard my identity. I've hidden my sexuality for years to avoid shame and scandal and to protect the crown. And then one brave kiss later, everything changes.
