    Summary

    So, Henry’s life in Sandford is fine. Not demonstrably better or worse than his life in London, just different. And just boring enough that he catches himself hoping something interesting might happen.

    As a police officer, he should have known better.

    (When he's transferred to a new position in the country, Henry expects to be bored and miserable. He doesn't expect to find a gorgeous, vibrant American seemingly determined to drive him up the wall, nor does he expect to end up tracking a murderer—especially when all the clues seemingly point to the man he's helplessly falling in love with.)

    Summary

    “We pride ourselves on being a supportive, tight-knit community here, Mr. Claremont-Diaz,” Srivastava says placidly, “which, conversely, really narrowed down our choices for part one of your research experience.”

    “And what might that be?” Alex asks.

    Srivastava’s head tilts, eyes slanting between he and Henry with as close to what he ever probably gets to modestly contained glee. “Enemies to lovers, of course.”

    or, with both promotions and sanity on the line, henry and alex are tasked with being the test subjects for a social experiment in which popular romance tropes are put to the test. it works, and then it doesn't, and for however many books alex has erroneously judged by their covers, this one might just be worth getting lost in enough to keep.

    Summary

    It’s not that he’s not thrilled for his best friend, or doesn’t want to be part of his big day. Henry wouldn’t miss Pez’s wedding for the world, and it’s going to be a wonderful day. But these days, weddings mostly serve to remind Henry of how far away something like that is for him. He hasn’t had a serious boyfriend in years, and he’s not getting any younger.

    It’s fine. It’s just one day, after all. He just has to focus on Pez, on being happy for him and Liam, and he’ll make it through.

    (After traveling to Texas for his best friend's wedding, Henry makes some questionable decisions, meets a gorgeous and intriguing stranger, and ends up kissing said stranger beneath the starlit sky. It's not a bad day. But maybe not the one he intended to spend the rest of eternity in.)

    Summary

    prima facie (law) adj.

    based on the first impression; accepted as correct until proved otherwise

    Henry dislikes Alex. That's alright, though, because Alex dislikes Henry right back.

    But then Henry does something unforgivable. He's kind to Alex. And, Alex? Well, now that he's looking at all the evidence before him, he's realising that on the balance of probabilities ... Henry maybe doesn't dislike him as much as Alex initially thought.

    Or - reference librarian Henry and law student Alex get off on the wrong foot. Several times. They find their way to each other eventually.
