Summary
“It was a career-ending injury!” Wylan snaps. “What else is there to say? Are you trying to make fun of me?”
Jesper recoils. “No! Saints, no, Wylan. That’s awful, I would never!”
“You made fun of me for just about everything else.”
“Well, that’s because I didn’t like you very much. I still don’t,” Jesper says bluntly. Wylan’s glare intensifies and Jesper hastens to add on, “But I don’t hate you!”

Seven years ago, Jesper Fahey was the up-and-coming rising star of the tennis world. The only person really in his way seemed to be the rich and haughty (and maybe, handsome) darling of Kerch tennis, Wylan Van Eck. But that was seven years ago, and after their match in Ravka—everything changed. Now, for the first time, they meet each other again.

Summary
Wylan Van Eck is the veritable prince of Kerch - an influencer famous thanks to his father's wealth and political status, beloved by many, derided by some, and truly known by very few. Behind closed doors, everything he does is designed to make himself an asset to the Van Eck empire, to make himself something his father might not want but definitely needs to keep around.
Jesper is an up-and-coming actor, not making a splash but well on his way to making ripples, but most of the fortune he should be making is going towards paying off an astronomical amount of gambling debt. After Jan Van Eck makes some questionable comments that are thrown about in the press, his PR team devise a wildly problematic ploy that might just be the answer to Jesper's problems. Six dates over six months, with the boy Jesper grew up seeing lit up on his phone screen. What could go wrong?
Thanks T-Swift for giving me the title in the nick of time.

Summary
“Are you Jesper Fahey?”
Just say no, Jesper thinks as he stares at the man in front of him. Deny it and drive off.
“Yeah, that’s me.” He sighs. “Get in.”[or: as part of a job for kaz, jesper agrees to drive a weird, annoying, definitely not at all attractive stranger across the country. shenanigans ensue.]

Summary
“Why do you hate me so much?” Wylan demands. He crosses his arms over his chest, his brows furrow, and his lips downturn in a pout that’s probably supposed to be intimidating, but instead is irritatingly endearing.
Jesper huffs. “Do you want the list alphabetically, or in order of annoyingness?”
“Before this week, before the wedding, we’d had exactly one interaction, seven years ago, and on our second interaction ever, you shoved me into a cake.”
“You shoved me, you royal douchebag.”
Or: Jesper is the First Son of the President of Novyi Zem and Wylan is the Crown Prince of Kerch. Their respective countries have an already politically contentious relationship that is made worse by an altercation between the two at the Kerch king's wedding. To fix this, they intend to fake a long-term friendship to the media, but what happens when friendship becomes romance? What happens when two boys with very public lives and deeply personal secrets fall in love? What risk is worth the love of a lifetime?

Summary
Jesper was halfway through a plate of shrimp when he realised the wedding he’d crashed was actually a funeral. Well, a wake, he supposed. Oblivious as he was, it took three different middle aged women dabbing at their eyes and sniffling while wearing all black for him to clock that perhaps, just maybe, the party he’d slipped into wasn’t a cheery affair. He froze, one shrimp in his hand suspended halfway to his mouth, a fancy porcelain plate piled precariously with food and balanced in his other. Who the hell held a wake at the Geldrenner?
OR: Jesper accidentally crashes Jan Van Eck's funeral and meets Wylan, the now insanely rich heir intent on destroying his father's legacy (and company).
