Alex is a newly elected Attorney General with a secret (surprise, he's Gay) and he's trying to figure out how to deal with that while being the success his parents want him to be and that he craves. He looks mostly harmless, with a mop of curly blonde hair and a mass of laugh lines, but when it's come to his career he's always put his work first. He knows what he wants and he'll even punish himself in order to get it.
On the other hand is Julian, a successful Chief of Staff who decided to put his heart first. It's still worked out for him, he's very happy at where he is in his career, but he's never imagined hiding himself from the world or being someone else to get somewhere in life.
Julian is Alex's weak spot and always has been, but will that weakness topple the empire he's striving to build? Or will a chance meeting and a remembered spark just be allowed to go up in smoke?

As the youngest of the King's male children, he never quite belonged in a court built on raw power and expectation. With magic coursing through his family's bloodline, there was little room for the son who couldn't live up to their legacy, especially when it became apparent that he preferred men.
