To All the Boys I've Loved Before

When the son of the American President destroys a $75,000 royal wedding cake, the world's most photographed feud becomes everyone's problem — including his.
Alex Claremont-Diaz has built his entire identity around two things: his mother's historic presidency and his very public hatred of Prince Henry of Wales. Smug. Polished. Insufferably handsome. Henry is everything Alex resents about old money and older traditions. Their rivalry isn't just personal — it's a diplomatic incident waiting to happen.
So their handlers do what damage control always demands: manufacture a friendship. Staged photos. Coordinated appearances. A carefully constructed lie for the cameras.
But somewhere between the performance and the reality, the emails start. Late-night messages that grow longer, sharper, more honest than either of them intended. Alex discovers that the prince he thought he knew — cold, distant, untouchable — is something else entirely in private. And Henry finds in Alex the one person who refuses to treat him like a symbol.
The problem? Alex is the face of his mother's reelection campaign. Henry is the crown's most visible asset. A secret this size doesn't stay secret forever, and when it breaks, it won't just change them — it could reshape two nations.
*Red, White & Royal Blue* is proof that the person who gets under your skin the most might just be the one worth fighting the whole world for.
