A sarcastic royal omega. A working-class alpha journalist. Palace intrigue.
Thomas, the Duke of Clarence, has spent twenty-two years perfecting the art of royal omega compliance. But when his mortifyingly candid teenage diaries are leaked to the tabloids, his sexual naïveté becomes front-page entertainment. Harry Da Costa built his reputation skewering the press—now he finds himself doing something unprecedented: defending a royal.
Harry Da Costa built his reputation skewering the press on his podcast, The Proper Gander. But when Tommy’s diaries hit the headlines, Harry finds himself doing something unprecedented: defending a royal. One whose dry wit and unexpected vulnerability make Harry question everything he thought he knew about privilege and power.
What starts as damage control evolves into something neither man anticipated. Between clandestine meetings in a Holland Park flat and late-night conversations over questionable takeaway, an unlikely partnership blooms into something far more dangerous—genuine connection. But palace protocol doesn’t account for widowed princely omegas falling for commoner alphas. When the King discovers his father’s secret relationship, Tommy faces an impossible choice: his family’s expectations or his first real chance at happiness.
A tale of second chances, class warfare, and discovering that choosing your own alpha is the ultimate royal rebellion. Features: A sarcastic royal omega with a kebab fixation, a working-class alpha journalist with principles, palace intrigue, heat cycles that inconveniently coincide with personal epiphanies, and enough sexual tension to power the National Grid.
