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.

First off, I have to say that I've always loved the name Joshua and I'm glad this MC didn't do anything to ruin that for me. The greenest of flags.
This one was unexpected but incredibly good. I love how whenever I pick up a book with a British royal, I expect it to be like that one, and I'm always delightfully surprised when it's not. Isn't it amazing when different authors start with the same overall idea and execute it in wildly different ways?
That said, I REALLY want to read one where the MC is the crown prince. No offense to spares, but I want to see how that's spun.
Anyway.
This book was sweet.
"Nothing has ever felt like you."
This book was funny.
"Seriously, you'd be willing to go camping? Not saying I’d even want that, but if I asked, you’d go, right? Christ, you really are completely gone for me."
This book was sappy at times.(complimentary, I swear!)
“Don’t look at me like that,” Leo grumbled. “I know how to compromise.”
“Only when it suits you,” Joshua told him, mouth curving up.
“It suits me when it makes you happy.”
My heart 😩
This book was economically absurd.
Joshua begging Leo to accept his money almost had me weeping with envy. In this economy? Like.... Jesus Christ, man! Let him pay off your bloody flat🤷
A deeply unserious man, that Leo.
But he WAS willing to jump off a very steep ledge for Joshua. So there's a lot to be said for Leo.
